In this segment: Chadwick explains that Israel's reliance on foreign military aid, like Egypt's help against Nebuchadnezzar, constitutes idolatry because God is their true Commander. He warns that God opposes such military support for Israel and will judge both Israel and the nations providing the aid.
What can we make of this? Well, their idol, Zedekiah, Jehoiakim, their idol was Egypt because of military assistance against Nebuchadnezzar. They didn't want to receive the judgment from the Almighty. So they went to foreign nations for help to relieve them from Nebuchadnezzar, and Nebuchadnezzar rocked them. So we've got to understand the prophets are against military you're I'm sorry, Yah is against military support for Israel because he is their Adonai Zabaoth, the Commander of the Lord's armies. He is not America, not Egypt, not Assyria, not any other nation. When they do that, they get judged. But not only them, that nation gets judged as well. In this case, it would be us, America. So, please go read that for yourself and come to your own convictions with it. But it was clearly Jeremiah 2, Isaiah 30:31, and I forget the chapter in Hosea. Please forgive me. It's not a long book. But Hosea, and they ridiculed the people, and they sent them under judgment, God did, because they went for foreign assistance, military-wise.
