24.06 The Wicked King Ahaz (Part 2)

Indigenous Faith

As Craig and LaDonna Smith move into the second part of this series on the life and times of King Ahaz, LaDonna continues her reading of 2 Kings 16, and the 20 short verses God's Word dedicates to this wicked king. Even though his rule lasted for over 16 years, it takes only 20 verses of one Old Testament chapter to give the Smiths plenty of things to talk about. In these short verses are found some amazing truths that help us understand that what we are experiencing today in our modern American culture is no different than what Judah of old experienced under Ahaz's ungodly reign. In fact, the Smiths introduce some enlightening information from a godly Messianic Jewish Christian leader, Jonathan Cahn, in a message he presented in a special National Day of Prayer and Repentance gathering in Washington, DC on the very day they were recording this session. He introduced to his audience the demonic powers behind Israel and Judah's fall in the Old Testament and helps us understand those same demonic powers are at work in the moral decline and slippery slope into wickedness being experienced today in not just modern American culture, but throughout the world as well. It becomes very clear that these Satanic forces are bringing into our nation a return to Old Testament paganism and the American culture is totally blind to that reality. But if you give a listen to today's podcast, along with Rabbi Cahn's enlightening statements, Craig and LaDonna come alongside him with their own perspectives that come from their understanding of the supernatural world of the tribes that they were born and raised in. Yes, we are in more than a cultural battle, we are in a supernatural battle with three members of what Rabbi Cahn describes as an Unholy Trinity, that of the pagan gods Baal, Asherah, and Molech. Such a short passage of Scripture that unpackages some of the most important information that makes sense to the larger American culture's slide into demonic spirit worship as well. And its up to us as Native believers in Christ to sound the alarm bell and to pray for the glory of God to return to this land that we all love before it's too late. Serious business, dear friends, serious business indeed!
