Bridging the Gap — Jehu Dynasty
Jehu’s dynasty lasted five generations for 89 years.
Wiped out the Omride dynasty fulfilling the prophecy of Elijah
Period of prosperity
Prophets — Amos, Hosea, Micah, Jonah, and Isaiah
Jeroboam II is considered the greatest king of northern Israel primarily due to his move to restore boundaries and strengthening the nation.
His death marked the beginning of the end for the nation
The King that wasn’t a King — Athaliah
David’s line is replaced on the throne by a woman — the only time both of these occur formally.
This daughter of Jezebel follows the family tradition to promote baal worship in the nation.
She seemingly kills every heir to the throne through a cold blooded coup.
She installed Baal worship
Her family and reign were very brutal:
Mother was trampled by horses and eaten by dogs
brother was killed in a coup
Husband died of a gruesome bowel disease
One son killed and the other captured by raiding enemies
She murdered her grandchildren (save one)
Her reign was outside of the norm…understatement of the century — woman, not in the line of David, half Israelite, half Phoenician.
Everyone cowered to her rule.
She sought to extend idol worship and end worship of God.
Evil exists and is seeking to destroy God’s plan and people
The King that was soon to be King — Joash
Jehosheba (daughter of Jehoram, sister of King Ahaziah, and wife of the high priest) rescued Joash and hid him until the right time.
Reigned for 40 years.
Did what was right early, under wise counsel but faltered in his later years.
God promised to preserve the line of David
Faithfulness matters — for every single one of us
Jehosheba’s example is one worth noting:
She was committed to God
She valued life
She was obedient
She had the courage to stand
The King that almost wasn’t a King — Jesus
Without the actions of Jehosheba, the line of David would not have been preserved.
Isaiah 11:1 (ESV)
There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
TREND
God wins — Jesus reigns
What about you?
Do you recognize the struggle with darkness?
How are you responding?
Do you live in defeat or victory?
