Read 2 King 9:14-37
Have you ever wondered why something painful is happening to you, specially if you are trying to follow God?
Have have considered the possibility that those might be the consequences of past actions?

Has not God forgiven me?
Yes!
He has forgiven your sins and spare you from the eternal consequences of them.
But we have to understand that we have to deal with or suffer the temporary consequences.
If you commit a crime and repent, God will forgive you but not necessarily spare you of going to jail.
If you abuse the temple, you’ll suffer the consequences.
If you mistreat people, you’ll be mistreated.
Jesus taught His disciples what is called the Golden Rule:
On these verses, we find three reasons why you have to be careful in how you live:
No one escapes from God’s eyes.
Everything had began about 15 years before.
A wicked king with an even more wicked wife, stole the property of a poor man.
Ahab, the king, wanted a vineyard that was close to his palace.
He went to see the owner, named Naboth, with intention of buying it from him.
Naboth refused to sell it to the king.
Disappointed (“sullen and vexed”) because he couldn’t get what he wanted, Ahab, like a spoiled and capricious child, went to cry to his wife Jezabel.
She told him, “Do not cry my baby, I will give it to you”.
She wrote letters to the city elders instructing them to judge Naboth.
She even paid false witnesses to accuse Naboth of cursing God and the king.
The elders sentenced Naboth to death by stoning.
Naboth was murdered!
Jezabel brought the news to the king: Naboth is dead!
Take over the vineyard!
The king gladly took possession of the property.
They probably thought “No one knows about what we did!” How wrong they were!
God knew about it!
1 kin 21:16-19
God also knew that the intellectual author of the crime was Jezabel, his wife.
1 kin 21:23-24
God had heard and seen it all!
There’s no way we can escape from his eyes; He is omniscient ans omnipresent.
God may seem to delay, but He does not forget!
As the years passed, they thought they could get away with murder, but no one leaves without paying the bill, someone has “to pay for the broken dishes” (“los platos rotos”).
God may delay, but He does not forget!
About 3 years after killing and stealing the property, Ahab, king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, king of Juda, got together and decided to unite forces and go to reconquer Ramoth-gilead from the hands of the Arameans.
Fearful for his life, Ahab consulted the false prophets.
They gave him a good a prediction: You will defeat them!
But Jehoshaphat, who feared God, asked Ahab to consult with a man of God.
Reluctantly, they brought Micaiah.
When Ahab heard the dire words of Micaiah devised a plan to escape death: to disguise himself as a common soldier and let Jehoshaphat to dress in royal armor.
He thought, “the Arameans will go against the one in royal armor, and I will escape”.
When the Arameans cornered Jehoshaphat and found out that it was not Ahab, they turned and did not kill him.
1 kin 22:34-35
1 kin 22:37-38
Ahab was succeeded by his son Ahaziah (Ocozías) who died a couple of years later.
He was succeeded by Joram.
Twelve years after the death of Ahab, God chose a man, Jehu, a captain in the army of Joram, king of Israel and grandson of Ahab, to overthrow him.
God sent Elisha to Ramoth-gilead where, again, the armies of Israel and Judah were defending it from the Arameans, to anoint Jehu for a purpose: to finish with the house of Ahab, as the Lord had promised.
God’s promises are fulfilled to the letter.
Ahab never imagined how he would die!
You may call it a chance, but it was not an arrow that accidentally wounded him.
God was behind the event; God has to fulfill His word.
What happened to Ahab after he was wounded?
Exactly what God had said:
1 kin
Twelve years later, Jezabel might have thought she had escape from God’s hands.
The second one to die was Joram, grandson of Ahab:
2 kin 9:24-25
Jezabel was next: she was thrown down a high window by her own servants.
Jehu ordered them to throw her down:
2 kin 9 33
Jehu’s intention was to bury her, but that is not what the Lord had said,
2 kin 9:35-36
The last to die were his seventy sons.
Jehu sent letters to the leaders of Jezreel: “if you are with me, behead all Ahab’s descendants.
The leaders comply with the order:
2 kin 10:7
2 kin 10
God had fulfilled His promises to the letter!
May these truths serve you as a reminder of God’s presence and justice and help you to consider your future actions.
