jeroboam

In this episode, we cover the crazy story of the prophet Jadon and his confrontation with Jeroboam at the grand opening of the Bethel idol worship center. At the time of the sacrifice, Jadon declares who the instrument of God's judgment will be and God gives a sign as the alter splits in two, Jeroboam's hand shrivels, Jeroboam receives a healing and just to add more we add an unnatural event and a false prophet to the mix.

Strange and unusual, but full of incredible spiritual truths that prophecy the judgment of Israel for their idol worship and show God is above time and space.

Welcome to the Time Period of the Two Kingdoms

King Rehoboam, of Judah, welcomes all who come to worship God in Jerusalem and appears to have an encounter with God. This creates a political disaster for King Jeroboam, in the North, because he is losing his people, treasure and prestige. King Jeroboam makes a demonic political decision. He makes two golden calves and sets them up for worship in Dan and Bethel. His state sponsored idol worship solidified his kingdom, but invited spiritual judgment on his kingdom and house.

Taking a break from our normal episodes, we've created a political parody looking at the division of the two kingdoms from the vantage of our modern American political perspective.

Upon Solomon's death, Rehoboam was given the kingship. The spoiled billionaire playboy was immediately confronted by the people asking for lighter treatment during Israel's economic crisis. Rehoboam's response set in motion the division of the two kingdoms. In this episode, we discuss the division of the two kingdoms, Rehoboam's failure and compare this time to the American Civil War.

As Solomon bows his knees to every god around, his economy begins to decline and enemies arise up to challenge Israel. Three distinct enemies arise to challenge Israel. Two of them directly and the other indirectly are funded and supported Egypt. In this episode, we discuss the birth of Israel's future enemies and the prophecy of Ahijah.

Jeroboam II is one the most successful of the kings in the northern tribes and yet he is called evil. Why does he come to a place of such success? There is not a whole lot of detail about his time as king in 2 Kings, but as we look to the minor prophets we get a lot more information.

Both the king of the northern tribes (Israel) and the king of the southern tribes (Judah) both fell into the temptation of idolatry. So in the New Testament when Paul teaches us that God " will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able..." (1 Corinthians 10:13) mean that He will block temptations from coming to you that are too great for you to bear? If so, why would these temptations gone unblocked when a whole nation fell into idolatry as a result? If this is not what is meant, what is God not allowing?

Faith decisions based on convenience create problems for ourselves and everyone around us.  Just because it is easy, comfortable, or feels right, does not mean it is true. Jeroboam is an ancient king who learned this the hard way. Scriptures:  1 Kings 12:26-30 Keywords:  Worship, Fear, Truth, Idols, Idolatry, Faith, Church, Jeroboam

The commandments have not been “nailed to the cross” as many have falsely been taught to believe in the Church. What was nailed to the cross? It is called “the Law of Divorce” which is talked about in Deuteronomy 24. Once a wife is given a written divorce certificate by her husband because of her “uncleanness” and she is “sent away,” if she becomes another man’s wife, she may never return to her first husband. Yisra’el was that bride who was given a written divorce certificate (Jeremiah 3:8) and she was sent away into the nations. She married another lover called her “Baalim” or her many “lords and gods” (1st Corinthians 8:5). But the prophet Hoshea prophesied that Yisra’el would return “to her first husband.” How is this possible since Deuteronomy 24 says that she may never return once she has been married to another?

King Rehoboam of Israel made a critical mistake when faced with his first task as king. He chose to ignore the advice of his elders, and instead to pay heed to the advice of his peers. This decision precipitated the division of the nation of Israel in 931 BC.
