THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 42: The Kings of Israel |
|
|
King Jehoram was the son of Ahab and Jezebel, and
given his heritage, it is curious that he turned away from Baal
worship to embrace the two golden calves set up by Jeroboam. Jehoram
occupied himself with war against the surrounding nations. The war
with Moab was troubling because his army ran out of water. The
prophet Elisha refused to have anything to with Jehoram because of
his idolatry but made an exception because of King Jehoshaphat of
Judah. The battle went favorably for them and King Mesha of Moab was
encircled. In a last ditch effort, the pagan king horrifyingly
sacrificed his son in an attempt to induce a rescue from his demon
god. Shortly thereafter Jesus was finished with Jehoram. He had
wasted twelve years as king and Jehu was instructed to eradicate
Ahab’s bloodline, along with his friends and associates. Jehu went
so far as to kill King Ahaziah of Judah as well, deposing two kings
in one day. |
