Journey into Apostasy
Series Bible Characters
Today's message, Journey into Apostasy, focuses on five kings of Judah:
David (1010 to 970),
Solomon (970 to 931),
Rehoboam (931 to 913),
Abijam (or, Abijah) (913 to 911), and
Asa (911-870).
Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done (1 Kings 15:11). In other words, three kings did evil: Solomon, Rehoboam, and Abijah.
Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not follow the LORD completely, as David his father had done (1 Kings 11:6).
The godly King Asa forgot what the LORD had done for him and trusted in his wealth and a foreign alliance (2 Chronicles 16:1-3, 7-9).
When he is rebuked (2 Chronicles 16:9), he turns his back on the LORD and on his prophet (2 Chronicles 16:10).
When the LORD chastens him in order to get him to repent, he hardens his heart (2 Chronicles 16:11-14).
Are you being tortured today (Matthew 18:34)? Turn to the Lord Jesus and beg him for the grace to deal with what is blocking you from getting relief.
