2 Kings 11 - Ahab's Family Killed | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to 2 Kings Chapter 11, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.In 2 Kings Chapter 11 we meet Athaliah becomes the first and only queen, and the seventh monarch of Judah. She is actually from the north, of the house of Ahab. She destroys even her own grandchildren in an attempt to consolidate the throne. This was an attempt by the devil to remove the line of David. What of the promise to David that he would “never fail” to have a man sit on the throne.How is that true, now that there is a woman, not of Judah, on the throne. This video answers the question. David wrote Psalm 146:10 which says “​​The Lord reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the Lord.” So what of God’s promises. We learn that they never fail, but also that God often thinks of them in a quite different, and much greater way than we do.This video also covers the reverse-coup - to put the right king back on the throne, and the removal and death of Athaliah. The name of Athaliah means “the Lord’s time” and it was now the Lord’s time to remove her. Joash becomes the 8th monarch and the 7th king of Judah…. At seven years old… think of a seven year old…. My son Silas just turned 7.
