Wicked King Jehoram rules in Judah - but for only eight years. He killed all his brothers to secure his rule, but when he died no one honored him with a funeral fire. He was also not buried in the royal cemetery plot in the City of David along with the other deceased kings on account of his wicked deeds.

Promote right teaching. Older mature Christians mentor younger Christians. If a movement cannot reproduce its followers, then it will die out - and the statistics show that the youth are not attending church as before.

War with surrounding nations. Asking God for victory through prayer - and getting it without shots fired or casualties. Being reprimanded by a prophet - as a godly king representing God - not to form any more alliances with the Baal-worshiping kings from Israel (the northern kingdom; the 10 tribes). Such an alliance will not be blessed - and it was not. (Reminds me of the verses in Scriptures saying not to seek out marriage - or business relationships - with unbelievers if you are a Christian and holding firm in your principles (2 Corinthians 6:14) without expecting problems.

Titus' work in Crete. The qualifications of an elder. False teachers teaching that circumcision - going back to Genesis 18:8-14 - is mandatory to being a Christian instead of trusting completely in God through Jesus Christ and the New Covenant

King Jehoshaphat of Judah Appoints Judges. His motto in life and advice to them is: do the right thing. And the Lord of Justice will be with you.

The Day of the Lord is coming swiftly. Now is not the time to be apathetic. It is the time to be sober and watchful - and to be vigilant. Our Lord is coming very shortly, and He shall find us excited. (Isaiah 25:9)

King Jehoshaphat of Judah and King Ahab of Israel form an alliance to fight a war against the Syrians. God sends a true prophet Micaiah to speak against the terrible outcome of this bad plan, but King Ahab decides to listen to false prophets who lie anyways. Same reason why the crowd picked Barabbas to free instead of Jesus - natural man without God's standards and Jesus' teachings - always make the wrong choice. Since he (i.e. man) without God's advice cannot see the Big Picture and all the variables involved - but God values personal choice. And each man - and woman - is free to choose their own destiny.

The Danger of False Teachers. Test the spirits by the Word of God / by the Spirit of God. (Jesus' teachings / the Bible / the Holy Spirit). The devil is trying to mess up the message and feed a corrupted gospel to as many people as he can (Galatians 1:6-9) by blocking Jesus (2 Corinthians 4:4).

King Jehoshaphat Rules in Judah. He follows and worships the one true God. He is a Law and Order king and ruler of Judah.

Growing in faith. Paying attention to Scripture. All scripture is given by inspiration by the Holy Spirit through holy men who were inspired to write; the scriptures is not just a human creation from the minds of men only.
