• The Spirit of God in a remarkable way links the end of Chronicles to the book of Ezra, literally repeating in 2 Chron. 36:22-23 the words with which the following book (Ezra) begins. Indeed, Zerubbabel, in the book of Ezra, is still a weak offshoot of Judah's royalty. Then come the revivals of Ezra and Nehemiah, revivals produced in the midst of a remnant returned from Babylon to await the promised Messiah; but these revivals also are without lasting result, and when at last the true King of Israel appears, His people crucify Him. Nevertheless God's counsels are fulfilled: the sufferings of Christ open the door to the establishment of His glorious throne on earth. (“The Last Kings: 2 Chronicles 36” by H.L. Rossier)
