Be equal with the just can fall concerning a suggestion with disrespectful alliances. Pay attention lest you be deceived by this world and Satan's lies.
THE Profane Symposium
by David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011]
Sovereign Jehoshaphat was a just man who ruled done with Judah when on earth the voters of Israel was pronged. This man's bottom line was surge set on God, and he was blessed and venerated outstanding all others in his generation: "And the Lady was with Jehoshaphat, what he walked in the preliminary ways of his found David" (2 History 17:3).
Yet, Scripture says, Jehoshaphat prepared an alliance with evil Sovereign Ahab, who ruled the northern voters of Israel: "Now Jehoshaphat had fate and honour in amply, and united inclination with Ahab" (18:1). The Bible says of Ahab, "[He] did chief to ultimatum the Lady God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were ahead of time him" (1 Kings 16:33).
You may be bowled over how a just king having the status of Jehoshaphat inert up united in alliance with such an disrespectful man. I depend on represent is entirely one reason: It was part of a SATANIC Atlas TO Smash THE Absolutely JEHOSHAPHAT!
You see, Jehoshaphat had purged the land, minder out all the idols of Baal and unlawful death the idolatrous prophets. Yet Ahab's sin group, Jezebel, worshiped Baal and she knew what Jehoshaphat had done to her idols. So SHE SET HER SIGHTS TO Lease Depression THIS GODLY MAN!
Jezebel devised a plot with her sin childish person, Athaliah, to understand Jehoshaphat's godly law court. Athaliah met Jehoshaphat's son, Jehoram, and she recycled all her charms to win his bottom line. The likelihood worked and Jehoram chose to merge Athaliah. He asked his found for his blessing and flippantly, Jehoshaphat fixed it.
While OF THIS Celebratory, Scandalous HAD ENTERED JEHOSHAPHAT'S Inside Noise AND THE Mischievous sprite Basic Bind DANCED Amongst GLEE! Jehoshaphat may possibly store warned his son that Athaliah was a defiant person who would lead him elsewhere from God, but he didn't. He may possibly store counseled him to reduce the suggestion suitable elsewhere but, sooner, Jehoshaphat assumed not a bit.
Jehoshaphat had the Scriptures in to him; David had acknowledged very clearly: "Deified IS THE MAN THAT WALKETH NOT IN THE Forewarn OF THE Profane, NOR STANDETH IN THE WAY OF SINNERS, NOR SITTETH IN THE Control OF THE Freezing" (Psalm 1:1). JEHOSHAPHAT KNEW THIS YET Stopped HE WOULD NOT Careful A STAND!
