Do you wait for a crisis to establish accountability? (165-5)

Every leader is accountable to someone. Read Jeremiah 52:1-11.

Judah is in their last days before the total defeat by the Babylonian army. Zedekiah is the king. He had served as a loyal “puppet” king since the last Babylonian attack on Jerusalem half a decade earlier but because of the high taxes and stiff regulations of the Babylonians, he rebelled against Babylonian rule. Zedekiah forgot that even the leader works for someone. His rebellion led to the downfall of Jerusalem.
