The LORD spoke to ELIJAH:
1 KINGS 19: 15 And the LORD said unto him, Go return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: an when thou comest ANNOINT HAZAEL to be KING OF SYRIA.
The LORD revealed to Elisha that HAZAEL would be an evil king and would be cruel the children of Israel.
2 KINGS 8:12 And Hazael said: Why weepth my lord?
And he (ELISHA) answered. Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel, their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, an rip up their women with child.
14.... the LORD hath showed me thou shalt be king over Syria.
2 Kings 10: 32 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and HAZAEL smote them in all the coasts of Israel.
NOTES from my bible:
The renewed Aramean pressure under Hazael was sever, including not only attack against Jehahaz and the northern kingdom (13: 1-3), but also against the Philistine coast. Even Jerusalem came under dire threat. Because Joash's f had become apostate after Jehoiad's death. God used HAZAEL to attempt to bring Joash and Judah to repentance (2 Chr 24: 23-24) ....24... because they had forsaken the LORD GOD of THEIR FATHERS....

We TRULY NEED the LORD, and HIS protective Blessing over our lives.
Have we taken that protective Blessing for granted?
Do you weep and cry for in supplication for our sin, for the lost, for your Family?
Do you understand that it is the SIN and compromises that we have made that GOD HIMSELF has appointed KINGS to humble us?
We truly have lost our way. Don't blame the WORLD for this judgment, but understand it the CHURCH that has brought this judgment down upon us.
Let us REPENT of our SINS, Turn back to GOD, SEEKING HIS FACE,, get our HEARTS right with GOD. SEEK HIS DESIRES and WILL UPON our LIVES. THAT HE WILL HAVE MERCY UPON US, for that Judgment begins in the HOUSE OF GOD.
IT TRULY REST square on OUR SHOULDER:
Amen.
Just a side note here: How many would have thought that ELIJAH or ELISHA were "false prophet" during this time to have anointed an EVIL KING? These men were OBEDIENT to GOD in their actions and their LIVES. Doing as the LORD told them to do, was often not easy.
What do I know of HOLY:
WE NEED YOU NOW:
