1 Kings 22:
Ahab, king of Israel wanted to go into battle against Syria to get more land
back. So he inquired of God and all the prophets said it was well to go to
war and that God will give him victory. Ahab grudgingly called another
prophet, Micaiah, who never had anything good to say, and he initially supported
the other prophets. When challenged by Ahab, he then said that it was God
who sent a lying spirit to the prophets so that Ahab could go to war and get
killed. Micaiah then told him that he saw Israel scattered like sheep
without a Shepard. It happened like the prophet said and king Ahab
was killed. No matter how powerful, influential, or wealthy, an evil man like king
Ahab is a meaningless and insignificant being.
2 Kings 1: Ahaziah, son of Ahab was now king of Israel and became sick. So he sent
messengers to ask an idol if he will recover. So God told Elijah to go
tell him that he will surely die since they was no God in Israel that he had to
go ask an idol. It seems no matter what God does, Israel or the Jews will
always work against or turn against God, even king Solomon in all his wisdom
that God appeared to twice personally. So the king sent two teams of fifty
to go bring Elijah, but he destroyed them with fire from heaven. The third
fifty begged for their lives, so he went with them. Elijah then repeated
what he said before, then the king died. He had no son, so Jeroham, his
brother became the king of Israel. The spirit of ingratitude is a disease.
God has served and saved Israel for over 500 years now since they come out of
Egypt as slaves, yet they still prostitute after other gods made by hand (idols,
money, land, unjust laws, and unholy alliances). Will Israel ever
accept God and live by his laws, or they will always believe that their life
is in the hands of idols? |

2 Kings 2:
One the day Elijah was to depart from Elisha into heaven, Elijah did not tell
Elisha, but Elisha knew. Each city Elijah went to in order to separate
himself from Elisha before ascension, Elisha followed him. At the last
moment, Elijah asked what Elisha wanted, and Elisha said that he wanted a double
portion of what Elijah had. It was so, and Elijah ascended into heaven.
Never be too scared or too humble to ask for your price, but be prepared to
deliver the quality demanded for the price.
2 Kings 3:
King Jeroham of Israel, son of Ahab, was a bad king, but put away some of the
idols of the land. The king of Moab, stopped paying their tributes to
Israel, so Jeroham took the king of Judah and king of Edom along to battle Moab.
On their way, they inquired of God from Elisha, who claimed to only respond to
them because of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah. Elisha told them that all will
be well and they are to destroy Moab, which they did. Never form unholy
alliances and denounce evil wherever possible. Even kings were
despicable in the eyes of Elisha. He did not run to them for favors or
promotion. |
