Msg#1615 Don’t Attack Jeroboam
What The Bible Says
Good Samaritan’s Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice
Almost five hundred years after Gideons outnumbered three-hundred won a great victory over the Midianites, Abijah was outnumbered two-to-one against his own brethren. Curious. After Gideon there were seven more judges, Samuel, Saul and King David. Solomon built the Temple of God on the rock at Ornan’s old threshingfloor, and his son, Rehoboam acted foolishly to divide the Hebrews into two kingdoms. Now Rehoboam’s son, Abijah, king of Judah, was about to be whooped in battle against Jeroboam king of Israel. “And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me thou Jeroboam and all Israel” (2Chron 13:4). For the next seven verses Abijah expounds all the Bible errors and worship errors that were initiated by Jeroboam and followed by Israel. It is eloquent, accurate, and succinct, but seems perfectly feckless. While Abijah reasons with them Jeroboam out flanks and surrounds them. The apostate church is replete with Bible errors and worship errors. They lead untold millions into a Christless eternity. They will out number us, out flank us, surround us and attack us. Victory over the apostate church is certain, but to be accomplished without our attack. “Then the men of Judah gave a shout, and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah … and the children of Judah prevailed because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers” (2Chron 13:15, 18b). Every denomination stands in brazen error, denying the pre millennial return of Christ and Israel as his chosen people. and they will attack God’s remnant. Give a shout against the apostasy but focus on preaching the gospel to every creature, not on attacking the church across the street.
