THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 53: The Kings of Judah
(Amaziah) |
|
|
Amaziah was educated about the Lord and knew his
nation’s history. He supported worship in the temple, but failed to
destroy the high places of Baal worship because he still wanted to
be on good terms with the Luciferian crowd. He decided to hire
100,000 mercenaries from Israel to bolster his army. After a prophet
rebuked him, Amaziah sent them home, but regretted the wasted money.
The mercenaries angrily sacked a number of cities on their way home
and the people of Judah paid for the king’s foolishness. Jesus
helped Amaziah in a battle with the Edomites but he abandoned the
Lord when he returned to Jerusalem with heathen artifacts. Amaziah
foolishly made war with King Jehoash of Israel and returned home as
captive. In retaliation Jehoash plundered the temple and palace in
Jerusalem and tore down a 600-foot section of the city wall. Amaziah
descended to a dark personal place and his life ended as yet another
tragic story, having wasted his time on earth. |
