From his studies, he offers us four different kinds of finishes for leaders:
1) Cut off early (I.E. assassination, prophetically denounced, overthrown)
2) Finished poorly (they were going downhill in the latter part of their life)
3) Finished so-so (did not do what they could and should have done, didn't complete God's purpose for them--by the way, these could be pretty good guys)
4) Finished strong (walking with God, strong in their faith, and close to the Lord). In finishing strong they had to withstand ambushes, distractions, and personal preference.
