Why Are Such Things Happening

 Today's verse is 2 Kings 15:37

In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah. 

    Did not Jotham do that which was right in the sight of the Lord? So then why was God sending these two against them? Let’s look at Ahaz, Jotham’s Son. He was four when his father first sat upon the throne of David, and he saw and learned from his father for the next sixteen years, but what does God say of him? “[He] did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord.” He even killed his son as a sacrifice to the false gods found in the land, when God gave the land to Israel. Where did he learn such a thing? Look around you now, do we not see such things happening today? Should we be surprised as God sends Judgment upon the nations we live in today? What is the answer? Is it not that you (and I) Repent, and cry unto the Lord Today, then testify of God and his of Righteousness and his Mercy, and his Judgment, and finally of the Grace he wishes to give unto the Nations? Perhaps he will hear, and turn the hearts of those that hear us, or perhaps as he promised Ezekiel there is coming a day when not even Noah, Job, nor Daniel could convince the wicked to repent, and he will call his own home and bring the judgment against all those that refused to trust in him. Selah [Think on these things.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
