Epis. 95: No Disguise Will Help. You Can't Avoid It. [1 Kings 22:29-36]

Trying to hide from God to avoid punishment by somehow disguising who we are is as foolish as a little child putting their hands over their eyes and saying, "Daddy can't see me now." Don't be foolish is the lesson for us on this from 1 Kings 22:29-36. Study it with us on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/cLTA8wTLUug .

Epis. 94. on 1 Kings 22:24-28. Prophet smites Prophet. We can expect abuse.

 

In this short passage we see how God's true prophet is treated by the idolators and false prophets, and kings and rulers. I hate to say it but it is very indicative of what is going on in the world today as it exhibits its hatred for Christians. Yet we need to expect it. Join us as we study 1 Kings 22:24-28.
