TERRIBLE END FOR EVIL OFFSPRING

11^TH ,JUNE 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 13-17

TEXT: 2 Kings 11:13-21

13 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the escorts and the people, she came to the people in the temple of the Lord. 

14 When she looked, there was the king standing by a pillar according to custom; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. So Athaliah tore her clothes and cried out, “Treason! Treason!”

15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the army, and said to them, “Take her outside under guard, and slay with the sword whoever follows her.” For the priest had said, “Do not let her be killed in the house of the Lord.” 

16 So they seized her; and she went by way of the horses’ entrance into the king’s house, and there she was killed.

17 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord, the king, and the people, that they should be the Lord’s people, and also between the king and the people. 

18 And all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal, and tore it down. They thoroughly broke in pieces its altars and images, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord. 

19 Then he took the captains of hundreds, the bodyguards, the escorts, and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, and went by way of the gate of the escorts to the king’s house. Then he sat on the throne of the kings. 

20 So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword in the king’s house. 

21 Jehoash was seven years old when he became king.

KEY VERSE:

“And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house." -2 Kings 11:20

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Choose between the fleeting joy of the world and the fulfilling joy of heaven.

THE MESSAGE:

The end of the Second World War in 1945 was also the end of the reign of forces that brought trouble to the entire humanity. Since no wicked rule goes without due punishment, the fleeing enemies of mankind were also pursued for judgment. Some were dragged out from where they hid while others received instant recompense for their crimes. The world was only treading the path of the leaders of Judah, which once had a bad queen whose era was filled with blood and rebellion against God.

Queen Athaliah usurped authority and placed herself on the throne of David for six years, having presumably killed all the heirs. Unknown to her, the Lord kept Joash whom He finally enthroned at the age of seven. Athaliah was slain when she resisted the coronation of Joash. It was both the closure to a dark season and the end of the road for the perpetrator of idol worship.

God has also appointed a day to halt the wicked system of the world. Already, events are moving fast to that day, given the fulfilment of prophecy day by day. Just as the Lord enforced the provisions of the covenant, in due course, He will also move against the antichrist order of this age and all those aiding it.

There will be damnable end for those who would remain in their ungodly acts. Their evil offspring, like Athaliah the offspring of two devilish parents, Ahab and Jezebel, will also be judged if they fail to flee from the wrath to come. The Lord is still waiting for those who will come to Him in genuine repentance to avoid a terrible end.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
