Even in one of its darkest times, God made sure that the nation of Israel would hear His voice. After the great prophet Elijah was taken up into heaven, God had designated Elisha to continue in that prophetic role. We’re told that though the majority of northern Israel was unrighteous and involved in Baal worship, there was still a small remnant of men and women faithful to God. During Elisha’s life, King Ahab died, and the throne passed to his son Jehoram. Jehoshaphat was still the king in Judah, and we know his alliance with the wicked dynasty of Israel continued beyond Ahab’s death because we see him answer Jehoram’s request for military help. Though this seems like a really bad move, Jehoshaphat does insist on contacting a true prophet of God, and we get to see a really interesting interaction with Elisha.

Testimony; 2 Kings 17-19
It’s amazing to me that in 2 Kings 19 we are able to see God building a testimony for the nation of Judah. Their time of desperate need was known by Him. He knew the faithfulness of King Hezekiah, and God could have saved him from ever having to face the terrible enemy of Assyria. Instead, God ta...
