2 Chronicles 21:
Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat becomes king of Judah.
His father left all his children great inheritance of valuable metals and
stones, but Jehoram killed all his brothers, even some from Israel's princes, had bad King
Ahab's (king of Israel) daughter as wife, and did what was detestable in God's
eyes. Despite all this, God turned a blind eye because of the covenant he
had with David to leave an heir on the throne forever. God must have
regretted this covenant because since the time of Solomon, most of these Jewish
kings were just useless, but God had to uphold his covenant. Edom rebelled
against Judah and made their own king while Jeroham led Judah and Jerusalem into
the ways of Israel and started worshipping other gods. God then sent a
letter to him through Prophet Elijah saying that there will be a great plaque
against his people, children, wife, and possessions. He too will have a
disease of the bowels (intestine/anus). God sent the Philistines and
Arabia against him and they took all he possessed in the kingdom except Jehoahaz, his youngest
son.
After he died of the bowels disease, unlike other kings, no fire was made in his
honor, no one missed him, and was not buried with the kings. What a huge
shame for a man!!! |

2 Chronicles 22: Ahaziah (Jehoahaz) becomes king of Judah and continues the unholy partnership
of his fathers with evil Israel. Athaliah, his mother, was his counselor of
evil. He followed Jehoram (Joram), king of Israel and son of Ahab into
battle against Syria and Jehoram got injured. So Ahaziah went to Jezreel
to visit the healing Jehoram. God ordained that this visit would be his
end. God had sent Jehu, a soldier, to go destroy the house of king Ahab.
On Jehu's way from destroying the house of Ahab he met the princes of Judah and
nephews of Ahaziah, which he also killed. Two kings died (Judah and
Israel), entire royal family of Ahab of Israel is gone, and the visiting princes
of Judah all eliminated in one day. Do not mess with God.
No matter
how powerful, wealthy, or influential a person or group is, God can eradicate
them in a day. Have no regards for powers or principalities that do evil
because when they fall, they disappear instantly. Athaliah, mother of
Ahaziah, then killed all Ahaziah's royal family (her children, grandchildren,
and in-laws) so that she could become queen, but Joash was
hidden from her. Athaliah was actually the first queen in Jewish history
and she ruled for 6 years.
2 Chronicles 23:
Jehoiada, the priest, gathered the army and the
Levites in the 7th year of Athaliah's reign to install Joash as king of Judah and executes Athaliah.
You will always pay for taking what is not yours. It was her quest of
power that made her to take power from Ahaziah's family and it was that same
power that killed her. Be observant!!! Never envy the rich and
powerful who got what they have unjustly or under the protection of their
man-made laws. They always pay for it with their lives or the lives of
their children. Look at Bernard Madoff, the Jewish-American scam artist
that took billions of dollars from people who trusted him to invest the money on
their behalf. While he rots in jail, his son committed suicide over the
pressure from his father's illegal quest for wealth. If you have taken
anything from another, be it a moment ago or for generations, give back in
reparations before God demand your life and that of your children. God may
be slow, but he does fight back when he has had enough of your injustice. |
