Israel didn't believe so God sent prophets. Who are the prophets to Great Britain today?
It is interesting that although Israel failed to declare the word of God to the nations, when Israel was exiled and other nations placed in the Land, they asked for an Israelite priest to teach them how to serve the Lord.
Nevertheless, they did not serve the Lord, but sacrificed their children and served idols; just like Israel. When you try to be like the world and there is no difference between your ways and the way of the world, then you will be carried away and the world will possess your territory.
The following description of Hezekiah deserves a selah moment:
6 For he held fast to the LORD; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the LORD had commanded Moses. 7 The LORD was with him; he prospered wherever he went.
I love so much the incident between Hezekiah and Sennecharib. Hezekiah was known by his enemy to be a man that served and trusted in the Lord; it was thus the most natural thing for Hezekiah to appeal to the Lord to defend Hid reputation: they were identified with one another. A stark contrast with Israel.
