This is the story of today’s people. (Especially those who call themselves CHRISTIANS.)
2 Chronicles: 18
4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee,
at the word of the LORD to day.
5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets
four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead
to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver
it into the king’s hand.
6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD
besides, that we might inquire of him?
7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man,
by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never
prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah
the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead
, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying,
Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one
assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and
speak thou good.
13 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith,
that will I speak.
Notice that Micaiah said, basically, forget it, I won’t lie, just to get the king to like me!
I’m going to remain faithful to GOD. No matter what the king says.
And the king didn’t like what Micaiah said, who spoke the truth.
He actually hated Micaiah, because he spoke whatever God told him to say,
and it was always the truth.
No false prophets, no sugar coated message.
Lukewarm, backslidden Christians today say the same thing! DON"T PREACH TRUTH
to me! I HATE IT!
:angry :angry2
The king ended up following the false prophets, and…
he died.
34 And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.
