Message Take Aways:

1. Although God previously utilized King Baasha to fulfill His prophesied word against the household of Jeroboam, Baasha’s depravity provoked the Lord to anger resulting in a promised judgment against his own household—“Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, For the reward of his hands shall be given him.” Isaiah 3:11

2. While King Zimri’s treason against King Elah served to fulfill God’s promised judgment against Baasha’s household, his selfish wickedness led to the shortest reign and his own destruction—“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12

3. Though King Omri established a dominant kingdom in this temporal world, the eternal word of God remembers him as evil in the eyes of the Lord—“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” Mark 8:36
