Ways of the Kings

Bible Reading:  II Chronicles 28:1-15

Key Verse: Verse 2 – “For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.”

Key Words:  For he walked in the ways of the kings 


What exactly was the “ways of the kings of Israel?”  We are told in verse 3 that he sacrificed children by fire to false gods.  He also allowed places of false worship to be built (verse 14).  Now, while we cringe at such as burning children in fire, why do we not cringe at the one million babies aborted each year in America?


One of the most talked about human tragedies of history was the slaughter of 6 million Jews by Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany. How could a civilized country allow the construction and operation of Nazi death camps? Sociologists tell us that only 10% of Germans fully backed Hitler’s radical views. Analyses reveal that Hitler came to power because he promised German prosperity. People were willing to overlook Hitler’s hatred as long as he could put money in their pockets. Today, we are looking at a Holocaust taking place in our own country called abortion.


 (A perspective on the slaughter of American children today)


Civil War (both sides)                98,332 deaths

WWI                                           116,708 deaths

WWII                                          407,316 deaths

Korea                                            25,604 deaths

Vietnam                                        58,168 deaths

Abortion since 1973          >63,000,000 deaths


Pray for America for it appears we have gone the way of the ungodly kings.

What to do:  

Pray up!  Stand up!  Speak up!  Let your state and federal representatives know how you feel.
