A Civil War Among God's People (4 of 5)
Series: Crown: An Investigation into the Royal Family of Israel
Scott Maze
2 Chronicles 14:9-15
A friend of mine told me of the kings of the Old Testament this really good insight: ''There's never a period in your life where you cannot identify with some stage of one of the kings of Israel or Judah.'' I'm going to need some volunteers later this evening, volunteers with a neat handwriting. There is a lot of moving pieces to this study but we are going to watch God bring judgment upon some wicked people.
God will do His act of judgment in a boomerang sort of fashion. Let me explain. In 1918, a small British Hull steamer named The Flixton was making its way up the English Channel. The look-out man spied a white line darting toward the ship and He knew what it was almost immediately, a torpedo from a German submarine At that very moment, the German submarine surfaced in order to relish the disaster its missile would bring. The look-out gave a shout and everyone ran to that side of the ship, but it was hopeless. It was too late to turn the vessel because in a matter of seconds they would be blown up. Then one of the strangest things happened. Within yards of its target, something went wrong with the torpedo mechanism. The torpedo reared its nose above the water, abruptly turned in its course, and shot straight back on the path it had just crossed. It completely reversed its course! The doomed British seamen saw the torpedo slam the German sub and blow up!
We are going to see the very people God has selected to judge the evil dynasties will themselves by judged.
