Transformation
Each man was lost during his beginning years. Each was on the wrong side of right. Each served against God. Each eventually turns away from darkness to serve God.
Trump: Just as Trump was once a democrat serving the dark side of evil and all that is anti-God. God chose Trump in the modern. They are one in the same-same man. Both chosen by God to bring down the House of Ahab. In the modern the House of Ahab is Bill Clinton, Hillary, Obama.. all others affiliated with that house.
Jehu: Jehu served in Ahab's army serving the dark side of evil as Ahab killed Naboth and the prophets of God. God chose Jehu in the ancient. They are one in the same-same man. With God choosing Jehu to eventually set out to bring down and destroy the House of Ahab.
"Before his reign as king, Jehu functioned as a commander in the army of Ahab (
2 Kings 9:5,
25) in the northern kingdom of Israel. Jehu was the son of Jehoshaphat, although he is more commonly mentioned as son of Nimshi, his grandfather, perhaps because Nimshi was more well-known.
Jehu’s name, meaning “Yahweh is he,” portrays well his future, God-given task: to obliterate the house of Ahab along with the worship of Baal that pervaded Israel at the time." Jehu was a reformer of sorts who was used by God to clean up the mess that Ahab had made. Of
King Ahabit is recorded that he “did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him” (
1 Kings 16:30). Marrying Jezebel, daughter of the king of the Sidonians, Ahab was seduced into her idolatrous worship of
Baal and
Ashtoreth. Although God was patient for a time with Ahab, his many sins eventually brought God’s judgment upon his family line (
1 Kings 21:20–22). This judgment first lands upon Ahab’s own head, as he is shot and killed in a battle against the Arameans (
1 Kings 22:34–38).
God chose Jehu as one of three men who would enact His judgment upon Ahab’s family. God told the prophet
Elijah, “Anoint Hazael king over Aram. Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu” (
1 Kings 19:15–17). One way or another, Ahab’s dynasty would be destroyed.
God also chose Jehu to be the king of Israel. After he was anointed king, Jehu immediately took steps to secure the throne. This reminds me of Trump in 2017, as he immediately took steps to secure the throne even with his wife Melania back in New York schooling their son.
Who was King Jehu in the Bible? What can we learn from the life of King Jehu? Was Jehu the only godly king of Israel?
