What I would like to speak to you about this evening is not the national rebellion of Moab, so much as the more subtle rebellion of king Jehoram, the son of Ahab, the man who became king after his brother Ahaziah died. Ahaziah had only reigned for two years when the Lord took him in death when he refused to seek God during the time of his injury and illness. It was this subtle rebellion of Jehoram that troubled the mind and heart of the prophet Elisha. It troubled him so much that he could hardly compose his spirit until he had called for a minstrel musician to play for him. It was only then that he could prophesy and deliver the word of the Lord to the 3 kings who had gone down to see him. I want to open up this passage in terms of what troubled Elisha. What troubled Elisha is what troubles all of God’s called pastors and preachers of His word today as well. What troubles them is when compromise with the truth is made, and subtle rebellion against God’s will and His word takes place. Let me give you 3 examples of this as they are seen in Jehoram.
