Through it, G-d provided surprising sources of sustenance. Unnerved, the people sought prophetic guidance in collecting the unearned spoils. In this Episode, we will backtrack to the events leading up to the terrifying siege and the seemingly impossible situation King Hezekiah and his loyal citizens found themselves in. It opens with the March on Jerusalem. The Talmud relates a remarkable narrative of Sennacherib’s stunning successive string of a single day’s journeys as he marched towards Zion. Astonishingly, many stops were made by this aggressive attack army made over the course of that same day. Yet, even more stunningly, it was the force of spirit, rather than their spirit of force that would carry the day. Discover the sweeping story of a tidal wave of ancestral goodness and the power of their Mitzvot. Finally, it’s the tale of two Lion-hearted warrior Kings alluded to in prophetic prose that makes the difference. While one is indeed a Monarch to Fear, the other should not induce anxiety!
