2 Chronicles 6:26-27

Situation 3: No rain because of *sin

When the *LORD brought the *Israelites into their country, he warned them about false gods. He told them not to serve other gods. If they did that, then he would be angry with them. And he would stop the rain. Then their crops could not grow (Deuteronomy 11:16-17).

If *Israel’s people *sinned against the *LORD, he would stop the rain. Maybe they would confess their *sin and they would *turn back to the *LORD. Then they would look towards the *temple and they would pray to the *LORD. Solomon asks the *LORD in heaven to hear such prayers. He asks God to forgive them and to teach them how they should live. And he asks the *LORD to send rain on the land again.
