How do we know God's grace was at work in the history of Israel?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is evident in the preservation of a remnant in Israel, showcasing His unyielding commitment to His covenant promises.

Despite the dire situation in Israel and Judah, God's grace shines through the history detailed in 2 Kings. As the narrative reveals, even after declaring judgment, the Lord preserved a remnant through whom Christ would come. Genesis 49 foretold that the tribe of Judah would not be utterly destroyed until after the arrival of the Messiah. This exemplifies God's faithfulness to His covenant promises, as seen in Romans 11:1-5, where Paul explains that God has not cast off His people. The stories of the prophets and a few righteous kings further illustrate how grace operates amidst chaos, showing that God's purposes are ultimately fulfilled even in times of national disobedience.
