The Danger of False Preachers. (2 Chronicles 18: 1-34)

This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. 

Episode Notes:

Today episode is titled “The Danger of False Preachers.”  And that title, I believe, captures the central warning of 2 Chronicles 18.  

In our last episode, we saw Jehoshaphat at his best. He was balanced, wise, faithful, obedient, strengthening the nation spiritually and practically. But now, in chapter 18, we see Jehoshaphat at his most vulnerable.

 He forms a dangerous alliance with Ahab, the wicked king of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, and surrounds himself with false prophets who tell him exactly what he wants to hear. He also ignores the one true prophet who speaks the word of the Lord, and he walks straight into a battle he should never have entered.

 Chapter 18 is an important reminder that not everyone who claims to speak for God actually does, and not every preacher is trustworthy. Not every prophet is faithful, and not every voice that sounds spiritual is true.

 Today, I hope we will discover the danger of being seduced by false voices, and what happens when a Godly person listens to the wrong preachers, teachers, prophets or even influencers…..
