The Captivity of Judah as a nation should teach Christians to obey God.

One thing that I could not wish even my enemy - that's if I have one is for him or her to be blind or in any form of captivity.

1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it: and they built forts against it round about. 2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land. 4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain. 5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him. 6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him. 7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem: 9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire. 10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about. 11 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away. 12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

From the above Bible verses, a story of Judah as a nation is been vividly captured therein. Please you would have to please pardon me for quoting it that long. Truth be told that Judah did not learn lessons from what happened to the nations of Israel. Although as a nation, they were blessed by great and good kings who were doing good initially until the go the ways of other nations of Israel.

The kings of Judah went ahead to practice and copy strange things which they saw other kings doing. This brief history in the Bible is meant to remind us the present day Christians that we should not play with the things of God.

You can now have a better understanding of what happened to those kings when they were taken into captivity. The Bible records that the entire nation was captured except the very poor and weak ones.
We cannot do as it pleases us and expect God to overlook it and thus protect us from the consequences of our actions.

For instance, a person who engages in sexual immorality does not expect God to prevent him from contracting STDS or even pregnancy.
Note that even if His love for us remains still we will face the consequence of their actions. So beloved, you do not have to take the mercies of God for granted. Never take God for a ride cause the effect may be very very devastating and beyond our understanding.

The way to escape the temptation of tthe devil to put you in captivity is to listen to God and seek to always do his will as calved out in the Bible.
