Dangers of Rebellion
DANGERS OF A REBELLIOUS SPIRIT
What is rebellion? ... disobedience
DISOBEDIENCE
1 Kings 16:33
And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
1 Kings 22:13-38
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good. 14And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak.
15
So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 16And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord? 17And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace. 18And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? 19And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. 20And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. 21And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. 22And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. 23Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee. 24But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak unto thee? 25And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. 26And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son; 27And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace. 28And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you. 29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 30And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle. 31But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel. 32And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out. 33And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. 34And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. 35And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot. 36And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country. 37
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria. 38And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the Lord which he spake. Verse 16, does something strike you as odd here?
the king knew the truth... did he have a choice?
verse 18 again we see he KNEW the truth, but CHOSE to rebel even to the end of his
own death
verse 19
where is God's throne?
who was around his throne?
THIS WAS A MEETING IN HEAVEN
verse 21 a lying spirit was at that meeting, was that odd?
where else do we see evil coming to the throne of God?Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
Job 2:1
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.
who were the sons of God?the fallen angels (who mated with the daughters of men, and produce giants... Genesis 6:1-4 - for those who have access to a Dakes annotated reference Bible, read
the notes, you will find the explanation there with references)
so we see evil spirits in Heaven meeting with God
verse 22 God gave His permission to decieve Ahab... why?
(because Ahab refused to hear God's prophets and angered God)Ahab's death had been prophesied because of Ahab's rebellious spirit, and that same rebellious spirit would cause the fulfilling of the prophesyverse 23 the prophet of God was telling Ahab how he was being decieved to his own
death, but rebellion would not let him listen.
did Ahab have a choice here? I believe he did
verse 24 false prophet hit him and asked in todays language
"Who do you think you are to defy me? I am the prophet who hears from God!"
verses 25 - 28 the put Micaiah in prison, and he tells them in our words
"when all is done, we will know who the true prophet is"
verse 34 In battle the King (Ahab) was wounded so badly that it would be fatal
verse 35 the battle got worse and they propped him up in the chariot
verse 37 the King died
verse 38 PROPHESY FULFILLEDAlso the word says the rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft... clearly... rebellion... AND witchcraft are both sins... Love, In Christ,
