1. A young prophet from Judah prophesied against Jeroboam's idolatrous altar and false worship, saying Josiah would destroy it.
2. The old prophet at Bethel convinced the young prophet to return home with him, but it was a trap. God had told the young prophet not to eat or drink there.
3. After eating at the old prophet's house, the young prophet was killed by a lion on his way home as God had said would happen for disobeying. The old prophet acknowledged it was God's punishment for disobedience.

This week we see king David is bringing the Ark of the Covenant out of the land of the Philistines, to house it in Jerusalem. One of the men touches the Ark and immediately dies. David is angry and sullen. It seems unfair. How are we to think of this story? What was God trying to say to David and the people of Israel?

When every man does that which is right in his own eyes, it can only lead to sin and chaos. The carnal mind is always contrary to the Holy Mind of God.
Often times we wonder why our lives have taken so many unexpected twists and turns. If God is so good and cares for us so much, why does it seem like failures and disappointments tend to characterize our lives? As soon as the Israelites were set free from 400 years of captivity, they were thrown a curve ball. This message helps us understand why.

God had mercy on the Israelites in their time of trouble and had a baby born to begin to deliver them. Samson was at times moved by the Holy Spirit, but often he went his own way.
How can we pray in faith (Mark 11:22-24) when we don’t know God’s sovereign will in advance? How long should we continue praying if God doesn’t seem to be answering? Is there a point at which we should give up? Where is the proper balance between prayer and proper methods? Does dependence on God in prayer mean that we should neglect effective methods?

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

3. Jeroboam fixed two places of worship in the north.
3
Dan and
Bethel
He commanded the
people not to go to
Jerusalem to worship.
A young prophet came
up from Judah and
prophesied.
4. 1 Kings 13:2 And he cried against the altar in the Word
of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the
LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the
house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee
shall he offer the priests of the high places that
burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be
burnt upon thee.
Jeroboam threatened.
4
His hand withered.
The prophet prayed for him.
Then he turned and left to go
home, as God had told him to do.
5. Seemingly satisfied with
King Jeroboam’s idolatry.
5
Old prophet at Bethel
He sent his sons to try and
persuade the young prophet
to stop for a visit.
He refused as God
had told him.
6. 1 Kings 13:12 And their father said unto them, What
way went he? For his sons had seen what way the
man of God went, which came from Judah. 13 And
he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they
saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon, 14 And
went after the man of God, and found him sitting
under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the
man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I
am.
6
The devil is using the old, compromising
prophet to accomplish his will.
7. 15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and
eat bread. 16 And he said, I may not return with
thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread
nor drink water with thee in this place: 17 For it was
said to me by the Word of the LORD, Thou shalt
eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to
go by the way that thou camest.
7
He had not forgotten what God said.
We need the Word of the Lord in
order to do the right thing.
8. 18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art;
and an angel spake unto me by the Word of the
LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine
house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But
he lied unto him.
First the old prophet was tolerant of
Jeroboam’s idolatry and wickedness.
Then he participated with a bold lie,
claiming he had heard from God,
8
but he had not.
10. 19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in
his house, and drank water. 20 And it came to pass,
as they sat at the table, that the Word of the LORD
came unto the prophet that brought him back:
The old prophet began to prophesy
10
under the anointing of God.
11. 21 And he cried unto the man of God that came
from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD,
Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the Mouth of the
LORD, and hast not kept the Commandment which
the LORD thy God commanded thee, 22 But camest
back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the
place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat
no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not
come unto the sepulcher of thy fathers.
Now, this old prophet had enticed the young man
with a lie, but now he pronounces his punishment.
11
12. 12
23 And it came to pass, after
he had eaten bread, and after
he had drunk, that he
saddled for him the ass, to
wit, for the prophet whom he
had brought back. 24 And
when he was gone, a lion
met him by the way, and
slew him: and his carcass
was cast in the way, and the
ass stood by it, the lion also
stood by the carcass.
Just as God
said it
would be.
13. 25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass
cast in the way, and the lion standing by the
carcass: and they came and told it in the city where
the old prophet dwelt. 26 And when the prophet that
brought him back from the way heard thereof, he
said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient
unto the Word of the LORD: therefore the LORD
hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn
him, and slain him, according to the Word of the
LORD, which He spake unto him.
There are people who will delight in enticing you
13
to sin, and then talk about you for doing it.
14. 27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the
ass. And they saddled him. 28 And he went and
found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and
the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not
eaten the carcass, nor torn the ass. 29 And the
prophet took up the carcass of the man of God, and
laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the
old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury
him. Seems strange.
14
15. 30 And he laid his carcass in his own grave; and
they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that
he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then
bury me in the sepulcher wherein the man of God
is buried; lay my bones beside his bones: 32 For the
saying which he cried by the Word of the LORD
against the altar in Bethel, and against all the
houses of the high places which are in the cities of
Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
We don’t know if the old compromiser felt remorse
15
and repented, but maybe he did.
16. 33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his
evil way, but made again of the lowest of the
people priests of the high places: whosoever
would, he consecrated him, and he became one of
the priests of the high places. 34 And this thing
became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut
it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the
earth. After all that God had done, Jeroboam
16
refused to repent and turn from his sin.
Stubbornly rebellious.
17. Jeroboam could have been the first of a long and
lasting dynasty, if he had simply obeyed God.
But he led the people further into sin,
commanding them to worship idols.
The young prophet obeyed God in prophesying the
17
downfall of Jeroboam and his false religion,
But he then disobeyed by going home with the old
prophet, who enticed him.
God never excuses sin, either of people with
power and influence, or His Own servants.
18. Jeroboam continued in his idolatry.
He thought to preserve his dynasty, but
18
his sin guaranteed his downfall.
He reasoned that keeping the people away from
Jerusalem would keep them faithful to him.
Human reasoning always makes sense
logically speaking, but it always lands us in
disobedience and trouble.
19. The young prophet from Judah obeyed God in the
big thing, prophesying just as God spoke to him.
But then he disobeyed in
a seemingly small matter,
and never made it home.
19
20. We must simply obey every Word of God as He
20
has spoken and we will be blessed.
Never reason yourself into disobedience;
no not in the smallest detail.
Whole
