What Does 2 Chronicles 36:15 Mean?
Even as Judah spirals into apostasy, God does not abandon them. He sends prophets—'messengers'—to call the nation back. 'Rising up betimes' means rising early and sending urgently, emphasizing God's persistent, repeated efforts to reach them. This is God's compassionate response to covenant-breaking.
These warnings are not acts of wrath but of love. God sends prophets because He has compassion on His people and cares for His dwelling place. He gives them chance after chance to turn, to repent, to be saved. But judgment comes only when the opportunity for repentance is finally exhausted.
