Israel exiled because of sin

2 Kings 17:1-23
Hishea, son of Elah became last king of Israel, and he reigned 9 years.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him, but later Assyria discovered that Hoshea was a traitor,for he had sent envoys to Egypt and he no longer paid tribute to the king of Assyria.
Assyria seized him and put him in prison. The king of Assyria invaded the entire land marched against Samaria and laid siege to it for 3 years. the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the Israelites to Assyria.
Israel's fate is seen as the direct consequence of longstanding idolatry, of pursuing heathen practices, disobeying God's law, and ignoring the prophet.
Why?
The writer of the Bible gave commends of the fate of Israel for they ignoring the warning of God and followed worthless idols.
People die for his sin, a country be destroyed by her own sins also. The Lord has gave them opportunity to turn back and sent many prophets to warn them. But they didn't listen it.
How?
Don't let sin siege us, the only way can release from sin is let Jesus to be our Lord. This is the only way to Heaven and love in our homeland peacefully.
Jesus is the only way to escape from sins.
