O altar, altar!

1 Kings 13: 1 – 3 (KJV) “1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. 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. 3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Lord hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.”
When demonic thrones/altars begin to shatter, the righteous will rejoice! But those who have
1. worshiped at the altar/throne
2. sacrificed to the principality on the throne/altar,
3. benefited from that altar/throne
4. served on the altar
5. tied their identity to that altar/ throne

will
1. mourn for its fall
2. rise to defend it!
3. or die defending it

Alas! When their eyes are opened they will also rejoice at its shattering for our God is a merciful God.”

We wrestle not against flesh and blood!”

Today we sound the trumpet, “Arise Josiah! Arise”

2 Kings 23: 16 (KJV) “And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.”

Benediction
