Obedient to the Word of God (Part 1) / 1 Kings 17&18

If we obey the Word of God, what we have will not run dry until God fulfills every promise. There is a great responsibility on us to obey God; our obedience will affect unbelievers. If we as individuals, and collectively as the Church, are disobedient as King Ahab was in 1 Kings 16:33, then God's anger is roused. We are called to be 'salt and light'. Salt is a purifer and preserver; if the salt loses it's saltiness, it is of no use anymore. There is a danger today that the Church is abandoning the commands of the Lord to adjust to society; I cannot overemphasise this need to obey God's Word.  'Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.” 'Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.” 'So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Then the word of the Lord came to him: “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.” “As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don't have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.” 'Elijah said to her, “Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.'”' (1 Kings 17.1-14, NIV)

2 Kings 1:1-18 NIV After Ahab's death, Moab rebelled against Israel. Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go and consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, to see if I will recover from this injury.” But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?'Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘You will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!' ” So Elijah went. When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you come back?” “A man came to meet us,” they replied. “And he said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, “This is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!” ' ”The king asked them, “What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?” They replied, “He had a garment of hair and had a leather belt around his waist.” The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”Then he sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king says, ‘Come down!' ”Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then fire fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men. At this the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. The captain said to him, “Man of God, this is what the king says, ‘Come down at once!' ”“If I am a man of God,” Elijah replied, “may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then the fire of God fell from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men. So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. This third captain went up and fell on his knees before Elijah. “Man of God,” he begged, “please have respect for my life and the lives of these fifty men, your servants! See, fire has fallen from heaven and consumed the first two captains and all their men. But now have respect for my life!” The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king. He told the king, “This is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!” So he died, according to the word of the LORD that Elijah had spoken. Because Ahaziah had no son, Joram succeeded him as king in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. As for all the other events of Ahaziah's reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?

And the crowds marveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.”       Isaiah 29:18 ESV   18 In that day the deaf shall hear   the words of a book,   and out of their gloom and darkness   the eyes of the blind shall see.       Isaiah 35:5-6a ESV   Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,   and the ears of the deaf unstopped;   6 then shall the lame man leap like a deer,   and the tongue of the mute sing for joy       2 Samuel 7:12-13 ESV   12 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.       Matthew 12:24 ESV   24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.”       Matthew 9:34 ESV   34 But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the prince of demons.”       2 Kings 1:2-4 ESV   2 Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them, “Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this sickness.” 3 But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? 4 Now therefore thus says the Lord, You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.'” So Elijah went.       Matthew 12:25-27 ESV   25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.       Matthew 12:28-29 ESV   28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.

THE FOURTH WEEK IN ADVENT - TUESDAYLESSON: MALACHI 4:1-6And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, I am not.” John 1:21In the question whether John was Elijah, the Jews were evidently referring to the prophecy of Malachi. I am of the opinion that Malachi had in mind no other Elijah but John, and that there are no grounds for assuming that there would be a return of Elijah the Tishbite who ascended into heaven in a flaming chariot (2 Kings 2:11).The words of the angel Gabriel spoken to Zechariah, John's father, also support this opinion: “He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just.” Luke 1:17. In these words one sees that the angel Gabriel is referring to the prophecy of Malachi and quotes the same words of the prophet who also says that Elijah will “turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers.” Malachi 4:6. Had Malachi prophesied a different Elijah, the angel would certainly not have applied his words to John.He followed the same course with the Virgin Mary when he applied Isaiah's words to her: “Behold, a young woman shall conceive and bear a son.” Isaiah 7:14. These words Gabriel applied to Mary when he said: “Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son.” Luke 1:31.In his work as the forerunner of Christ, John the Baptist would be a real Elijah preaching repentance to prepare men for Christ.SL.XI.101,14AE 75,174PRAYER: Thanks and praise be to you, O God, for the great cloud of witnesses who have witnessed to your Son and the salvation you have prepared for us in Him. Amen.

Therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.'” 7 He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came to meet you and told you these things?” 8 They answered him, “He wore a garment of hair, with a belt of leather about his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.” 9 Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty men with his fifty. He went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “O man of God, the king says, ‘Come down.'” 10 But Elijah answered the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. 11 Again the king sent to him another captain of fifty men with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, “O man of God, this is the king's order, ‘Come down quickly!'” 12 But Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. 13 Again the king sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up and came and fell on his knees before Elijah and entreated him, “O man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty servants of yours, be precious in your sight. 14 Behold, fire came down from heaven and consumed the two former captains of fifty men with their fifties, but now let my life be precious in your sight.” 15 Then the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So he arose and went down with him to the king 16 and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron—is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word?—therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.'” 17 So he died according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken. Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son. 18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

Now, he continues the narrative by describing John, saying, “And he, John, had his apparel from camel's hair.”   On the surface, the words seem superfluous. However, the words have several important significations. The first is that John is being contrasted to the leaders of Israel –   “When the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings' courts. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.”'” Luke 7:24-27   But there is more to the description than this. Matthew's words note his clothes were from the hair of the camel. This wasn't a garment cut from a camel's hide made of its skin and hair, but is rather a coarse, hairy garment.   The words of Matthew rely heavily on an understanding of the Old Testament, both in actual narratives and in typology. For example, the word camel in Hebrew comes from the verb gamal, to deal fully or adequately with. Thus, it can mean to wean, repay, require, reward, ripen, and so forth. As such, it refers to the treatment, either well or ill, that a person will receive.   Hair signifies an awareness, especially of sin. Taken together, the two thoughts tell us that the very appearance of John the Baptist was given as a tangible, visible marker of making people aware of sin and that it would be dealt with fully and adequately. As he was a herald of the Messiah, his appearance pointed to this ultimately being accomplished in the ministry of the Messiah.   Next, Matthew records, “and a leathery girdle around his waist.” The word dermatinos, translated as “leathery” is an adjective, not a noun. One can see the word derma, or skin, in it. As such, it is a belt or girdle of skin. This word will only be seen here and in Mark 1:6 where Mark also describes John. It is a leathery girdle that John pulled his garments tight with.   The skin is what surrounds what is inside. A girdle is used for pulling in and holding. The symbolism here is restraint of the inner man, keeping sin from controlling a person.   Taken together, these two descriptions which focus on the hair of the garment and the leathery nature of the girdle, and which provide such detailed symbolism, are purposefully included to equate John to Elijah –   “Then he said to them, ‘What kind of man was it who came up to meet you and told you these words?' 8 So they answered him, ‘A hairy man wearing a leather belt around his waist.' And he said, ‘It is Elijah the Tishbite.'” 2 Kings 1:7, 8   The reason this is important is because of what Jesus will later say to His disciples –   “Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, ‘Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.' 10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, ‘Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?' 11 Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. 12 But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.' 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.” Matthew 17:9-13   In Malachi 4:5, Elijah was prophesied to be sent in an attempt to bring restoration to the people of Israel. It would be out of place for such a person to come in a manner unlike Elijah. And so, John came in the form of Elijah, hairy and with a leathery girdle. The people, however, “did not know him” even though he came in such an obvious parallel to how Elijah was described in their own writings. Of John, Matthew's words continue with, “and his food was locusts and wild honey.”   The locust was something eaten by the poor. It can be prepared in various ways, but even if it was accompanied with spices, it is not the kind of thing people of any means at all would prepare for a regular meal. Likewise, the honey is described as “wild.” The word signifies “pertaining to the country” and, as in English, it can mean both wild as in nature or wild as in fierce or raging.   Thayer's Greek lexicon says it is “used of animals in a state of nature which grows without culture.” It is not unlike the description of Elijah as he was tended to during the time of drought in the land –   “So he went and did according to the word of the Lord, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook. 7 And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.” 1 Kings 17:5-7   Though different food is described, it is the reliance on what the Lord provides through nature that forms the parallel. Elijah was living in a time of drought, being sustained by the Lord. John was living in a time of spiritual drought, likewise, being sustained by the Lord.   The locust signifies judgment. This is seen from the plagues on Exodus (Exodus 10) through to the plagues of the end times (Revelation 9). Honey comes from bees which pollinate flowers and so it implies all sorts of fruit trees, herbs, and flowers – abundance.   In the Bible, honey is equated to the word of God. In the account of Samson, honey in a wild state was found in the carcass of a lion that he had earlier killed. The symbolism there was that of the sustaining power of the word of God.   Understanding these things, John's appearance and his food are being equated with his ministry. He came in the form of Elijah as a forerunner of Jesus, preparing the way for the messianic ministry of the Lord. His words were words of coming judgment or a reliance on God's word.   Life application: Everything about how John is described is given to show us hints of what has already been learned from a full study of the Old Testament. It is true that one can know about Jesus and His salvation without ever reading a word of the Old Testament, but Scripture in the New really comes alive by knowing the Old.   Be sure to read the whole word of God. Read it in the morning, read it at night, and read it throughout the day as time permits. Think about what is being said, contemplate each thing that is presented, and consider why God chose certain words – animals, locations, etc. – to describe each account. Information from the Creator is being transmitted to us to understand what He is doing in redemptive history.   In understanding these things, a much richer and fuller understanding of Jesus is then available to us. Let us learn about our Lord, contemplating every facet of His being, by reading and understanding the word that tells us of Him!   Lord God, thank You for the treasure which You have given us in the pages of Scripture. Praises to You for how it is laid out, telling us of JESUS! Yes, thank You for this marvelous superior word. Amen.

I will utterly burn you up, and will cut off from Ahab every male, bond or free, in Israel. 22 And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the anger to which you have provoked me, and because you have made Israel to sin. 23 And of Jezebel the Lord also said, ‘The dogs shall eat Jezebel within the walls of Jezreel.' 24 Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone of his who dies in the open country the birds of the heavens shall eat.” Ahab's Repentance 25 (There was none who sold himself to do what was evil in the sight of the Lord like Ahab, whom Jezebel his wife incited. 26 He acted very abominably in going after idols, as the Amorites had done, whom the Lord cast out before the people of Israel.) 27 And when Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh and fasted and lay in sackcloth and went about dejectedly. 28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 29 “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.”

Healing Do you believe that God still heals? Confessionist Group Cessationist Group Can Will James 5:13-16  //  Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. God still heals people. Hebrews 13:8  //  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Isaiah 55:8-9  //  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways. Hebrews 11:39-40  //  These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. Isaiah 57:1  //  The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Both. God is more concerned about my soul. Matthew 10:28  //  Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. God wants me to grow in faith. To us. In us. Why doesn't God always heal? Hebrews 11:6  //  And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. James 5:17-18  //  Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. 1 Kings 17:1  //  Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.” Faith begins with a Word from God. Romans 10:17 (NKJV)  //  So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Hebrews 4:12  //  For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 1 Kings 18:43-44  //  “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.” The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea.” So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.'” Faith continues regardless of what I see. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)  //  For we walk by faith, not by sight. Faith starts with a small beginning. 1 Kings 18:45-46  //  Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. The power of the LORD came upon Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel. Zechariah 4:10 (NLT)  //  Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin...” 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 (NLT)  //  Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. The process is the point.

  In this story, Elijah denounces King Ahab of Israel, threatening that God is about to induce a drought.  This forces the prophet to flee the king's wrath.  God directs the prophet to go to a place where there is enough water.  Ravens would supply food!  Soon, though, that area is depleted by the drought.  So, God orders the prophet to go into Canaanite territory.  God had commanded a widow to take care of Elijah.  But when he found the woman, she was in the process of making her final meal for herself and her son.  Nevertheless, Elijah had her cook something for him first, then promised that henceforth she would have an unending supply of flour and cooking oil. That happened!  Subsequently, the widow's son fell ill—he was either at death's door or dead already.  She was irate, of course, at Elijah.  Elijah was not too happy himself, all but accusing God of putting him in an impossible situation.  Eventually the prophet prayed for the lad and he was soon restored, either being raised from the dead or recovering of some sort of coma.  Upon witnessing this last miracle, the woman declare that Elijah was indeed a prophet and that the Israelite God spoke through him.
