 GOD Almighty Gives Grace and Judges 

Positive Christianity Series Episode #164


"And when Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh and fasted and lay in sackcloth and went about dejectedly. And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the disaster in his days; but in his son's days I will bring the disaster upon his house.'"- 1 Kings 21: 27-29

We learn that after Elijah reproves and judges Ahab, Ahab decides to fast and wear sackcloth. We learn that GOD Almighty had decided to judge Ahab for his wickedness. We learn that GOD Almighty tells Elijah that Ahab had humbled himself for his sin, and GOD Almighty decides to give grace in the manner that He would not bring the disaster upon the days of Ahab and instead after Ahab had been destroyed. This describes how GOD Almighty gives grace. We learn that GOD Almighty is Just, Omnipotent, gives grace, and also is vengeance against the wicked. We learn that Elijah had told Ahab to repent from sin and idol worship, yet kept on practicing sin and idol worship being led by Jezebel. 

We learn that Ahab's momentary repentance does not last because then he asks Jehoshaphat to help him fight against the Syrians. We learn that the foolishness of Ahab and Jezebel had caused them to persecute Elijah, and they go through even greater difficulties with Syria and the new king of Syria. We learn that instead of truly repenting of sin, Ahab decides to ask for help to Jehoshaphat who was the righteous king of Judah. Ahab asks Jehoshaphat to help him fight against the Syrians with the intention to take back the land of Ramoth-gilead from the Syrians. We learn that Ahab does not tell Jehoshaphat the real reason why he was asking for help. Ahab did not tell Jehoshaphat that he was attempting to send Jehoshaphat to fight his battles.

Ahab tells Jehoshaphat to wear his regular garments while Ahab would disguise himself to go to battle. Ahab decides to send Jehoshaphat to fight his battle against Syria for persecuting Elijah. We learn that even though Jehoshaphat did not know all the details, GOD Almighty spares Jehoshaphat while Ahab is destroyed. We learn that Jehoshaphat is surrounded by Syrian soldiers and calls on the name of the LORD. We learn that GOD Almighty causes the Syrian soldiers to leave Jehoshaphat alone while a soldier from Syria draws an arrow at random and destroys Ahab. 

"So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots, 'Fight with neither small nor great, but only with the king of Israel.' As soon as the captain of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, 'It is the king of Israel.' So they turned to fight against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; GOD drew them away from him. But a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel between the scale armor and the breastplate. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, 'Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.' And the battle continued that day, and the king of Israel was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians until evening. Then at sunset he died.'"- 2 Chronicles 18: 28-34

We learn that GOD Almighty was able to save Jehoshaphat from the Syrians. GOD Almighty guards Jehoshaphat. We learn that the Syrians had the instruction by the king of Syria to only destroy Ahab. We learn that Jehoshaphat is surrounded by Syrians, yet calls on the name of the LORD and is saved. The Syrians leave Jehoshaphat alone and do not harm him. We learn that a Syrian soldier draws an arrow at random, strikes, and kills Ahab who was disguised in different clothing. The Syrian soldier hits Ahab with an arrow between the scale armor and breast plate. We learn that GOD Almighty is able to spare the righteous and destroy the wicked.
