<p>Our chapter describes a repetitive historical pattern&quot; Israel serve idolatry - they get invaded - they cry out to God - they get saved. </p><p>This pattern is not random; it is Divine providence, as the nation are punished over and over for their sins. This is the reality for 300 years of history in the land of Israel.</p><p><br></p>
