THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS Part 42: The Kings of Israel

1 year ago
61

King Jehoram was the son of Ahab and Jezebel, and given his heritage, it is curious that he turned away from Baal worship to embrace the two golden calves set up by Jeroboam. Jehoram occupied himself with war against the surrounding nations.

The war with Moab was troubling because his army ran out of water. The prophet Elisha refused to have anything to with Jehoram because of his idolatry but made an exception because of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. The battle went favorably for them and King Mesha of Moab was encircled.

In a last ditch effort, the pagan king horrifyingly sacrificed his son in an attempt to induce a rescue from his demon god. Shortly thereafter Jesus was finished with Jehoram. He had wasted twelve years as king and Jehu was instructed to eradicate Ahab’s bloodline, along with his friends and associates. Jehu went so far as to kill King Ahaziah of Judah as well, deposing two kings in one day.
