War With Moab

Remember Moab rebelled against Israel when Ahab died

Also, Moab, Ammon, and Mt Seir had joined forces against Judah

Now Jehoram of Israel wants to retake Moab and asks Jehoshaphat to helpEasy decision for Jehoshaphat since Moab had fought against himSlide10

Jehoram sends messengers to Jehoshaphat

Moab is directly across the Dead Sea from Judah

They had to go around the north end then south to Moab, orGo around the south end and north to MoabEdom was under Judah’s controlThey join the battle with Judah and IsraelSlide11

Jehoshaphat asks for a

prophet of the Lord

the they may inquire of the GodAll three kings go see ElishaElisha told Jehoram of Israel to go consult the prophets of his parents

Because of Jehoshaphat (a good king) Elisha agrees to seek God for themHe calls for a harpistinfluenceSlide14

Jehovah’s Answer for Water

2 Kings 3:16f And he said, "Thus says the LORD: 'Make this valley full of ditches.‘ For thus says the LORD: 'You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, so that you, your cattle, and your animals may drink.'Slide15

Jehovah’s Answer for War

2 Kings 3:18f "And

this is a simple matter

in the sight of the LORD; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand. Also you shall attack every fortified city and every choice city, and shall cut down every good tree, and stop up every spring of water, and ruin every good piece of land with stones."Slide16

Results

The next morning the ditches were filled with water to drink

The sun on the water in the ditches looked like blood to the Moab army

They thought the three armies had killed each otherWhy would they think this?Slide17

Results

Moab comes south to take spoil

The three armies attacked Moab and drove them away

Then they went into Moab and did as Elisha had instructedDestroyed the citiesRuined the fields with stonesSlide18

Moab Defeated

In desperation the king of Moab offers his son as a sacrifice

Israel goes home

2 Kings 3:27 Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering upon the wall; and there was great indignation against Israel. So they departed from him and returned to their own land.Slide19

Stand Up for Right

We have looked at this before, but worth noting again

2 Kings 3:11 But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there no prophet of the LORD here, that we may

inquire of the LORD by him?"LessonSlide20

Stand Up for Right

Jehoshaphat had two idol worshipping kings with him, but wanted to see what

Jehovah

said about the matterWe need to stand up; take the leadWe need to care ‘what does God say’ about whatever matter is before us

LessonSlide21

Stand Up for Right

Noah in an evil world

2 Peter

2:5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly

LessonSlide22

Stand Up for Right

Daniel

3:13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, gave the command to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. So they brought these men before the king.

14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego,

that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up?Lesson

Daniel 3:18 "But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up."Slide23

Stand Up for Right

Acts

4:18 And they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.20 "For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard

."LessonSlide24

Stand Up for Right

We as Christians have to stand up for righteousness, we as Christians have to stand on the word of God and to believe and have faith in Jesus. Because what God says is going to happen is going to come to pass no matter what the circumstance may be.

LessonSlide25

Stand Up for Right

Matthew

5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

LessonSlide26

1 Kings 3:5 At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”

John 11:22 “But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”

Ask of God

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom,

let him ask of God

, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord

LessonSlide28

Ask of God

John

14:13 "And whatever

you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14 "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

LessonSlide29

Ask of God

1 Samuel

1:11 Then she made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his

life…

LessonSlide30

Ask of God

Nehemiah

1:4 So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of

heaven…

LessonSlide31

Ask of God

5

And I said: "I pray, LORD God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments,

6 "please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now

LessonSlide32

Ask of God

2 Kings 20:1

In those days Hezekiah was sick and near

death…2 Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,3 "Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight…

LessonSlide33

Ask of God

James

5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

LessonSlide34

A personal thought…

2 Kings

3:20

Now in the morning, about the time when the offering was made… (BBE)2 Kings 3:20 The next morning about the time of offering the sacrifice

… (ESV)A specific timeLessonSlide35

A personal thought…

Elijah with prophets of Baal on

Mt Carmel

1Kings 18:29 And when midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice

.Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel…in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

LessonSlide36

A personal thought…

We now cannot pitch upon any hour more acceptable than another, because our high priest is always appearing for us, to present and plead his sacrifice.

(Matthew Henry)Hebrews 7:25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
