[SPEAKER_00]: Family, welcome to day one, seventy, four.
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you believe we're a hundred and seventy, four days in to uh, studying the Bible.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm super excited.
[SPEAKER_00]: Today we are in second Kings, second Kings, chapters nine through eleven.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got a lot of murder, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a lot of murder, a lot of blood is a bloody day, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you've done the reading, shout out to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to understand all the context clues all the nerdy nuggets and like always.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to leave you with the town of the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't done the reading for today, stop the video, pause the audio, go do the reading.
[SPEAKER_00]: The main character really, or the character that's about to take center stage is a man by the name of J. Who.
[SPEAKER_00]: So chapter nine starts the context clue set to understand all this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you get this wrong,
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing else really makes sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like the top button of a shirt.
[SPEAKER_00]: If it's wrong, then all the other buttons are gonna get jacked up.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have to ask this question.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who was supposed to anoint J. Who?
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who was supposed to anoint J. Who?
[SPEAKER_00]: I need you to go all the way back to first Kings.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: First Kings.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty sure it's chapter nineteen.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to say it's chapter nineteen.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just gonna go ahead and fact check myself really quick.
[SPEAKER_00]: because my Bible's open right here, first King's chapter, nineteen, right around verse, yeah, verse sixteen, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: And first King's chapter, nineteen, verse sixteen, Elijah is supposed to go and know it, J. Who, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: As the next King of Israel.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why does he not want to do this?
[SPEAKER_00]: He does not want to do this because it is dangerous.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is politically
[SPEAKER_00]: physically dangerous to go annoying a king while there's another king who's currently on the throne, especially when that king and his wife that would be a heaven, Jezebel, want to kill you.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Elijah just doesn't do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: He completely disobeyed God.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so now, second king's chapter nine opens and it says this, then the prophet Eli Shuh.
[SPEAKER_00]: So now it's on Eli Shuh to annoying J. Who.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is where things get interesting.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then the prophet Eli Shuh.
[SPEAKER_00]: called a member of the company of the prophets, and set to him, gird up your loins, take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead, when you arrive, look there for Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, go in and get him to leave his companions and take him into an inner chamber.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then take the flask of oil, port on his head, and say,
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the words that this in turn, this prophet in turn is supposed to say, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: Thus says the Lord, I annoying you, king over Israel, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: Thus says the Lord, I annoying you, king over Israel, ten words.
[SPEAKER_00]: The intern is supposed to say ten words.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thus says the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You King over Israel.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then open the door and flee.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do not linger.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why is he saying that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, because
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a dangerous thing to be doing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jahu is a commander of the army, the military guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's just start with this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Should this unnamed member of the company of the prophets be the person to go annoying Jahu?
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Alasha should be the person going to annoying Jahu.
[SPEAKER_00]: And should Alasha even be the person going to annoying Jahu?
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Elijah should be going to anoint J. Who, but he's dead.
[SPEAKER_00]: He died in the world with.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's that.
[SPEAKER_00]: He died in God's tornado.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it is like the reason that he had to get judged by God because he refused to go anoint J. Who?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because he knew anointing a king while there's already a king on the throne is treason.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this is seditious.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now this is a great plan if you want to unalive yourself.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you want to stay alive, then you shouldn't go around a nointing new kings when there's already a king.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's the context.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So first we have to establish in chapter nine verse three.
[SPEAKER_00]: All I show shouldn't even be delegating this to anybody, but he is.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's clear that he says to say, ten words total.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, let's get there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get the young man, the young prophet.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love how it's like double double.
[SPEAKER_00]: The young man, the young prophet.
[SPEAKER_00]: went to Raimoth Gilead.
[SPEAKER_00]: He arrived while the commanders of the army were in council and he announced, I have a message for you commander for which one of us asked J. Who for you commander.
[SPEAKER_00]: So J. Who got up and went inside that young man poured the oil on his head saying to him, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're adding stuff already.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, the God of Israel.
[SPEAKER_00]: I anoint you King over the people of the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not this is we're already off.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, there's like a game of telephone.
[SPEAKER_00]: This prophet has broken the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this is not there's not what a lie she said.
[SPEAKER_00]: You shall strike down the house of your master.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, have wait what?
[SPEAKER_00]: What?
[SPEAKER_00]: No one told this man to say that.
[SPEAKER_00]: No one told him to say this.
[SPEAKER_00]: You show strike down the house of your master A-hab so that I may avenge on Jezebel the blood of my servants, the prophets.
[SPEAKER_00]: So now we got
[SPEAKER_00]: Profit is telling a command of the army that God wants to avenge the blood of the prophets.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord for the whole house of a Habshell parish.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will cut off from a Hab every male, bond of free in Israel.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will make the house of a Hab like the house of Jeroboam, son of Nabat, and like the house of Bashar, son of a hija, the dog shall eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezebel, and no one shall bury her.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, that is not the ten words.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ten words, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's what I want you to say.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thus says the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: I annoy you, King, over Israel.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the message.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro went and gave a whole paragraph of prophecies, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he opened the door and fled.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he remembered that part.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, J. Who is about to go on a rampage?
[SPEAKER_00]: And every single time he kills someone, he's gonna quote this prophecy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And everything that Jay who does, I need you to begin to see it through the context of this is not how any of this is supposed to go down.
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, Elijah refused to do it and got judged.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why does Elijah think he can pass the book off to an unnamed young intern?
[SPEAKER_00]: Second of all, intern was like, let's go today's my day.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they only gave me five minutes to preach, but they about to get this thirty minutes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm in a day, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: The intern is like, and you're gonna kill a half.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're gonna kill just about.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I mean, intern is going off.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, J. Who is going to go on a killing rampage?
[SPEAKER_00]: not only is Jay who going to kill a Hab, kill Jezebel, he's actually going to go to Juda and kill King Azaya, who's the King and Juda.
[SPEAKER_00]: And let's see if Azaya is a good king or bad king.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Azaya is an evil king.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and if you don't have this chart, by the way, you need a text.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, DM me, the word idle, and you can get this awesome chart with all the good and evil kings of both Israel and Judah.
[SPEAKER_00]: He kills Jezebel.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to kill Ahaziah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he's going to kill the seventy sons of Ahab.
[SPEAKER_00]: which is just flat out murder and every time he's going to quote some prophecy and the reality is that he's miscoding prophecy.
[SPEAKER_00]: There are prophecies that he's quoting from like Elijah but he's miscoding them and he thinks he has godly authority to do this stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he does it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So what should he have done?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because J. Who's going to get judged for all this?
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's done.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to get judged for murdering a bunch of people.
[SPEAKER_00]: But his name is going to come back up in the book of Hosea.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so God's going to have justice and mercy on J. Who.
[SPEAKER_00]: And why does he have justice and mercy?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because the only reason that he is doing a bunch of sinful stuff is because he's been emboldened by a word of prophecy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so this is why prophecy can't go haywire and church.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's why it can't go haywire.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's why the Bible says that people who speak on God's behalf, teach on God's behalf, prophesied for God are gonna get judged at a higher standard because now we have a domino effect of a leader who thinks that he has license to do stuff that he honestly does not have God's green light or thumbs up or approval to actually do.
[SPEAKER_00]: when you get into the details of the text, you realize how he eludes to the officials that he wants to King, King Ahab Sun, but just flat out, say it, because you're really testing them to see, are you guys sketchy like me?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, are you guys down to really do this?
[SPEAKER_00]: He kills some of Ahazai's relatives, and now the only thing that he actually does if he has license to do
[SPEAKER_00]: is verse eighteen of chapter ten.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is going to kill all of the prophets that are in service to Baal.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's great.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to kill a bunch of Baal worshippers and he has biblical grounds to do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, the Torah tells us that people who
[SPEAKER_00]: are going after false gods should be put to death.
[SPEAKER_00]: They should be stoned.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that he has license to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Verse twenty seven, then they demolished the pillar of the hall and destroyed the temple of the hall and made it a latrine.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is where the jokes back.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I think that I explained to you guys.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: The meaning of B. L. Zabull and B. L. Zabub.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: B. L. Zabull.
[SPEAKER_00]: is Lord Prince, Lord of the Temple, Lord of the House.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bills above is Lord of the flies, Lord of the Dung, Lord of the Outhouse, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: So by changing one letter, Bills above to zills above, it completely changes the name of the God, Bale, for all.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so this is going to come full circle and that now they have destroyed the all's temple and they have turned it into a pitletream.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they turn it into an outhouse, which is full circle on jokes on you bail because now your temple is a toilet.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me read you some dirty nuggets.
[SPEAKER_00]: When Jezebel dies, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: There's this, this is chapter nine verse thirty five.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just gonna read you these dirty nuggets really quick.
[SPEAKER_00]: There is now a connection between Jezebel and Anat.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anat is Baal's wife and sister, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: Anat is the wife slash sister of Baal or Baal.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anat when she attacks someone cuts off their hands and their heads.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so now they're going to find Jezebel with only skull and palms and feet because she's dying in the exact same way that a not victims die.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a massive play that you will wind up like the gods you serve.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next, nerdy nugget.
[SPEAKER_00]: J. Who consistently miss quotes prophecy, noted to justify his evil murderous actions.
[SPEAKER_00]: So by him,
[SPEAKER_00]: holding, you can see in the text, he's trying to justify the things that he knows are wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: So although he's received a bad prophecy, here's what Jay who should have done.
[SPEAKER_00]: He should have made the prophet perform a sign.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if a prophet gives you a word, you can't just be like, well, let's fact check you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get another prophet.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you got to ask the prophet.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, confirm what you're saying with a sign.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next.
[SPEAKER_00]: David dared not kill Saul because he believed that Saul was God's anointed.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the fact that Jay who would kill God's anointed, though person who's been anointed to be king.
[SPEAKER_00]: So David has already been anointed, but he still believes that Saul, once you're anointed, you're not anointed.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Saul is God's anointed, how dare I lay a hand on God's anointed.
[SPEAKER_00]: So what you see with David and Saul is David would dare not kill Saul.
[SPEAKER_00]: and Jay who has none of this respect.
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely no decorum, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: So, chapter ten starts, and Jay who is refusing to flat out, tell the Israelite officials to kill a Habseventy sons because he knows that it's wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: And two things, Canaanites behead people.
[SPEAKER_00]: And a Syrian stacked skulls in heat.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is exactly what Jay who was doing to the seventy sons of Ahab because he is acting more a Syrian than he is Jewish.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jay who black males the officials of Samaria by having them complicit in this crime against Ahab's sons.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is barbaric behavior.
[SPEAKER_00]: But all's temple becomes an outhouse, latrine, then chapter eleven.
[SPEAKER_00]: Chapter eleven, we're at a bit of a impasse.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, not just chapter eleven.
[SPEAKER_00]: Chapter ten, what happens is I wrote out this whole, like, family tree here because this is actually very, very complicated.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to write like a whole family tree.
[SPEAKER_00]: You probably can't see that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have a king by the name of Ehazaya.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the conflict with Ahazaya is God is made David a promise that there will always be someone on your throne.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Ahazaya is the king in Judah.
[SPEAKER_00]: The only problem is he is the nephew of Ahab and God has promised that Ahab line is gonna get wiped out.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this creates a problem because Ahazaya has Ahab's blood and David's blood ranked to his veins.
[SPEAKER_00]: How?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, his father
[SPEAKER_00]: Jajoram marries Athalaya, which is a Habs daughter, and probably maybe even sister, which is very complicated.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, no, yeah, daughter sister.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, A Habs is Ahazaya's uncle.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ahazaya is A Habs nephew, uncle nephew relationship.
[SPEAKER_00]: Atholaya, who is Ahazaya's mom, and Ahab's daughter, is totally wicked, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is why Ahazaya's gonna end up being wicked.
[SPEAKER_00]: When Ahazaya dies, Atholaya goes on a rampage, killing anybody in David's line, she can find.
[SPEAKER_00]: But her daughter, Jahoshaba, hides her nephew.
[SPEAKER_00]: Joe Ash, who's going to become the next king, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is a complicated family tree.
[SPEAKER_00]: A family member is trying to kill all the family members, intermarrying with Israelite kings with Judah height kings.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is very, very, very complicated.
[SPEAKER_00]: But here's what you need to know, is that God is going to keep us covenant to David by allowing Jajoshiba to hide Joe Ash and where does she hide Joe Ash in the temple?
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, Athalaya becomes queen for a camera how long, but after a while, the people essentially rise up and install Joash as King, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: Complicated, but that gives you enough context in order to really get through chapter eleven and know what you're reading.
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause chapter eleven just starts out with
[SPEAKER_00]: Now when Athalaya, Ahazaya's mother, saw that her son was dead, and it's like, when did her son die?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, her son died way up in chapter nine, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: So two chapters ago, Ahazaya died.
[SPEAKER_00]: When she saw her son was dead, she said about to destroy all the royal family, which royal family?
[SPEAKER_00]: The royal family of Judah, not the royal family of Israel.
[SPEAKER_00]: However, her father and maybe brother,
[SPEAKER_00]: is aab who was the king in the north, which is the king of Israel.
[SPEAKER_00]: And for whatever reason, some of the thought was a good idea for these lines to intermarry.
[SPEAKER_00]: These lines intermarrying is a bad idea.
[SPEAKER_00]: This inner marriage places the Davidic covenant at risk, because now God has to bring judgment on one of David's descendants, and it almost gets to the brink of David not having someone to be on his throne.
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are all the nerdy nuggets I could give you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the Thomas truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sin always has a domino effect.
[SPEAKER_00]: sin will always have a butterfly effect that is typically something that you cannot foresee in that you cannot predict.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so sin has this way of having a butterfly effect, a ripple effect, a domino effect.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so Elijah
[SPEAKER_00]: If Elijah had just gone and did what God told him to do, go and know it, J. Who.
[SPEAKER_00]: But because he passed the book, now Elijah has to do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Elijah doesn't want to do it, because Elijah is scared.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he passes the book to some intern.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that intern jacks up the whole prophecy, does not repeat what Elijah has said.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now sets this maniac on a killing rampage, and now he thinks he's justified by God.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is how sin works.
[SPEAKER_00]: That what starts off is just one degree off means that you are miles off course.
[SPEAKER_00]: When a ship is one degree off, they will end up at a totally different destination.
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll end up in a different country in a different nation because they were one degree off.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so obedience is required if we are going to actually be the people who carry God's Word in his message.
[SPEAKER_00]: and sin will always have a ripple effect, a domino, do not let sin lie to you and tell you that there's no consequences for your actions.
[SPEAKER_00]: There are consequences when we sin against the Lord and when we disobey.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we get to see Elijah's consequences have this ripple effect generations later.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the actions of Jay who are the fruit of Elijah's disobedience.
[SPEAKER_00]: And even though God has dealt with Elijah and brought judgment, there still is a ripple effect.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you just don't know how sin is going to begin to create a butterfly effect in the lives of people that you don't even know.
[SPEAKER_00]: So obey the voice of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: And with that, I want to invite you to tune in tomorrow for day one seventy five.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to continue our track through second Kings.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're on a streak, don't break it.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're not on a streak, how about we start one?
[SPEAKER_00]: I love you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so proud of you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll see you right here tomorrow as we continue to walk through the book of second Kings.
[SPEAKER_00]: Love you so much.
[SPEAKER_00]: Peace.
