Good Morning,
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: 2 Kings 9:30-37 ~ There's a lot to this story, here's the main thing: A person may think she can do what she wants; ultimately God's justice wins.
A lot of things happened from the time Ahab met Elijah and was told what would become of him, his descendants and Jezebel. Jezebel was evil and did whatever she desired. She used many to do her work for her and carry out her evil schemes, but in the end it was as it had been said by Elijah.
Remember in 21:23 of 1 Kings Elijah said to Ahab: "And also concerning Jezebel the Lord says: 'Dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.'" That is what happened.
If you read the whole chapter of today's verses (2 Kings 9), you will get the whole story of why Jezebel was killed. Jehu had been appointed as the King of Israel and was told by God through His prophet to destroy the house of Ahab. God said that He would avenge the blood of His servants the prophets and the blood of all the Lord's servants shed by Jezebel. (2 Kings 9:7) Justice had been done!
God is watching us. There are many times that I wonder and even ask - "How much longer God? There is such evil in the world today." God's Plan - send His Son into the world to die and rise again - giving us the hope and promise of eternal life with Him! God has sent us out to share the Good News until the whole world knows and then He will return to take us HOME! It will not be easy, but that is what we have been called to do - Let's shine brightly and share boldly for Him today!
A fearless church of Christ followers whose ridiculous love and dangerous witness are irresistible. I am all in, are you?
