Day 183: Israel Falls to Assyria (2025)

Today we read about the critical moment when Assyria destroys the
Northern Kingdom, and the ten northern tribes are exiled and
assimilated among the nations. Fr. Mike explains how this moment
and the foreign possession of Samaria is key in order to understand
Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4. We also read
about how the prophet Micah beautifully foreshadows the birth of
Jesus. Today's readings are 2 Kings 17, Micah 5-7, and Psalm 140.
