A TALE OF TWO KINGDOMS BIBLE READING PLANS
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times—and perhaps no period in Israel's history captures this paradox more powerfully than the era of the Prophets. From September 1st through October 17th, we invite you to journey chronologically through one of Scripture's darkest and most dramatic periods, when God's people experienced His sovereign judgment yet glimpsed hope in His most profound promise—the coming Messiah.

Choose one of three Bible Reading Plans—or continue your own! Each day’s PDF includes the passage plus rich historical insights to deepen your understanding.
THE ASSYRIAN EXILE
Through The Assyrian Exile, we'll witness the Northern Kingdom's fall and the prophetic voices that called for repentance with readings from Isaiah, Amos, Micah, Hosea, and others.
THE BABYLONIAN EXILE
In The Babylonian Exile, we'll walk alongside Judah through judgment and into the darkness of captivity, reading through Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and other prophets.
THE RETURN
In The Return, we'll celebrate the restoration that foreshadowed an even greater redemption to come, reading Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, the post-exilic prophets, and Book Five of the Psalms.
