1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Let us pray. He said unto him, I am a prophet, 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: also as thou art, and an angel spake unto me 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: by the word of the Lord, saying, bring him back 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: with thee into Thine house, that he may eat bread 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: and drink water. But he lied unto him First Kings, 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: thirteen eighteen. Dear God, as the transformation and newness of 7 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: my life continues to take place, I stand in a 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: place of gratitude and thankfulness that your word continues to 9 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: bring light and illumination to the different areas of my 10 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: life to day. Through the reading of First Kings thirteen 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: twelve through thirty two, I realize the importance of direct 12 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: and immediate obedience. And it is because of this that 13 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: I ask that if there is anything in my life 14 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: where I have not walked in obedience, that you redirect 15 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: me and allow me to make it right. I will 16 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: not allow the false prophets and deceitful people around me 17 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: to derail me from living and executing my life with 18 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: critical obedience. I confess that the desire of my heart 19 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: is to live in direct harmony with your steps. For 20 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: me and everything I do. Lying lions will devour what 21 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: You've placed in my life simply because of my disobedience. 22 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, strengthen my spiritual ears so that I will 23 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: recognize and hear your voice when you speak. I'm listening 24 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: and obeying, Lord in Jesus name. Amen, Thank you for 25 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: praying with me today. Continue listening for an incredible Bible 26 00:01:50,080 --> 00:02:03,919 Speaker 1: story brought to you by Bible in a Year dot com. 27 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: The Man of God and the Old Prophet. In our 28 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: last story, we watched the fragile kingdom of Jeroboam descend 29 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 2: into idolatry and pride. Jeroboam erected altars of golden calves 30 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: and established pagan priests. The Lord sent a man from 31 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: Judah to rebuke him, but his disobedience did not cease. 32 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: Now we learn more about the Man of God that 33 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: was sent on his way back from Bethel. He is 34 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: greeted by an old prophet and deceived into disobeying God. 35 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: Hello, I'm Pastor Jack Graham with today's episode of the 36 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 3: Bible in a Year podcast. In our prior episode, we 37 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 3: learned how King Jeroboam was unfaithful to God. He built 38 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 3: shrines to pagan gods in a temple where he called 39 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 3: people to worship golden calves. History was tragically repeating itself, 40 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: with God's people being led astray and serving other gods. 41 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 3: But God would not allow his king to lead the 42 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: people into certain death and separation from him, So he 43 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: sent a man to rebuke Jeroboam and gave him a 44 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 3: sign of God's displeasure. This man did as God instructed, 45 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: then departed from the king, not wanting to remain in 46 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 3: a place of faithlessness and disobedience to God. But as 47 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 3: we'll hear today, the man will meet an old prophet 48 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 3: who will lead him into sin and cause him to 49 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: disobey God. So let's listen to today's scripture. 50 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: God had split the wicked altar of Jeroboam in half, 51 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: ash fell to the floor and floated up into the 52 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: air like snowfall. The Man of God stood over the 53 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: pathetic king and warned him of his demise. The torchlight 54 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: shifted and made shadows around the man as he looked 55 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: down at Jeroboam. After warning him, he left. Jeroboam had 56 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: offered to have him stay and eat, but the Lord 57 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: had strictly told him not to partake in any food 58 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: or water the city. He departed from Bethel and left 59 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: towards Judah. As he was journeying home. Word had spread 60 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: of what had happened at the Altar. An old prophet 61 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: living in Bethel heard of the Man of God and 62 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: saddled his donkey to go and meet him. The man 63 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: had his sons help him up on to the donkey, 64 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: and he ventured forth to speak with the man whom 65 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: God had just spoken through. The man had walked all 66 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: night and stopped in the morning to rest under a 67 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 2: massive tree. The man breathed in the fresh air and 68 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 2: rested his eyes. Since the man had been commanded to 69 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 2: not eat any food while in the land, he was 70 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: very hungry and very thirsty. Weakened by his lack of food, 71 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 2: he rested for a long while. The old prophet had 72 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: been riding for a few hours until he finally saw 73 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 2: the man resting under the tree, and later to see 74 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: the man had not yet left. He rode fast to 75 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: meet him. He waved and yelled to catch his attention. Hello, 76 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: are you the Man of God who came from Judah? 77 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: He shouted. The man opened his eyes and watched as 78 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: the large old prophet rode closer to him. He sat 79 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: up with his back against the tree. Yes, the man replied, 80 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: wiping his eyes and stretching his arms before rising to 81 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: his feet. The old prophet smiled and said, please, you 82 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 2: must come and feast with me and my sons. Sorry, 83 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: but I cannot, the man replied. He strapped his pack 84 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: around his shoulder and prepared to leave. I am not 85 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 2: allowed to eat or drink anything here. God has commanded it. 86 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 2: The old prophet did not want to miss on an 87 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: opportunity to talk to a fellow man of God, for 88 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: the land had become blighted with idle worship and wickedness. 89 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: He decided to lie out of his lonely heart. He 90 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: weaved a fib that would prove to be detrimental. I 91 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: am a prophet too, the man said. An angel of 92 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: the Lord told me to bring you home and give 93 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 2: you something to eat. The Man of God was famished 94 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: and weary from his travels. It did not take much 95 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: convincing for him to buy into the lie, so he 96 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 2: left with the old prophet back home. They sat at 97 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: the table and ate together. The Man of God was 98 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: grateful to finally get food in his belly after a 99 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: few days of travel. While the two were eating, the 100 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: Lord spoke to the man, saying, you have defied my words, 101 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: you have come back to this place and ate and drank. 102 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: Because of this, your body will not be buried in 103 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: the grave of your ancestors. The Man of God leaped 104 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: from his chair and pushed back his plate. Angered at 105 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: the old prophet, he began to pack his bag again 106 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 2: to take off. Feeling guilty. The old prophet saddled a 107 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 2: donkey for him and sent him on his way. The 108 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 2: Man of God rode the donkey, sitting in his anger 109 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: against the prophet for lying to him. He rode along 110 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: the trail winding up a mountain from Bethel. The man 111 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: sighed as he trotted along, not noticing something lurking in 112 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: the bushes beside him. Like a flash of lightning, a 113 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: lion came out from the bushes and tappled him off 114 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: the donkey. The man and beast wrestled in the dirt. 115 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: Screams of pain and fear echoed down the canyon below, 116 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: but nobody was around to hear them. The lion latched 117 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: onto the man's neck and swung its jaws, and that 118 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: instant the man was dead. His body lay on the road. 119 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: Both the donkey and the lion stood beside it. It 120 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 2: was an odd sight, for the lion sat beside the corpse, 121 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: with the donkey not moving next to it. People passing 122 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: by the trail stopped in their tracks to see the 123 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: lion and donkeys standing over the dead body. Confused and afraid, 124 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: people brought reports back to the city. The word came 125 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: to the old prophet, and he saddled his donkey immediately 126 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: to go and see for himself. There he saw the 127 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: Man of God lying underneath the paw of a lion, 128 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: and there next to him his old donkey stood. The 129 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: man shed a few tears, for he knew that it 130 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: was his fault that the man was dead. He shouted, 131 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: and the lion disappeared back into the bushes. Then he 132 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: lifted the man's body on to his donkey and walked 133 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: him back to Bethel. Oh, my poor brother, the prophet cried. 134 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: He buried the man on his property and asked that 135 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: his sons bury him as well when he passed. Bury 136 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: me next to this man when I die, he said, 137 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: for he was brave and standing up against the altar 138 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: in Bethel and against the people with shrines in the city. 139 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 3: As we begin today's passage, the Man of God, who 140 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 3: had gone to deliver a message and assigned to King 141 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 3: Jeroboam is returning from Bethel to Judah. He had left 142 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 3: the King refusing to eat or drink with him, obeying 143 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 3: God's orders to not partake of anything while in this 144 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: sinful land. But his journey home is long, and he 145 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 3: grows weary and in need of rest. There was in 146 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 3: Bethel an old prophet, whose sons told him that this 147 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 3: man of God had come to give King Jeroboam a word. 148 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: So the prophet went out to meet the man. When 149 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: he found him rode weary and very hungry. The old 150 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 3: prophet told him to come with him to his home, 151 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: where he would feed him and give him water. The 152 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 3: man of God, still wanting to obey the Lord, refused 153 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 3: his offer, saying that God had given him clear instructions 154 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 3: to not eat or drink anything there. It required great 155 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: trust in the Lord's provision to turn down such an offer, 156 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: but he understood that God's commands are not to be 157 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 3: taken lightly, so he obeyed. But then the old man 158 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 3: said something that changed things. He told the man that 159 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: he also was a prophet, and that an angel of 160 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 3: the Lord had spoken to him to say that the 161 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 3: man could in fact go home with him to eat 162 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 3: and drink. Now, this man was indeed a prophet, but 163 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 3: as the man will soon learn, not all prophets are 164 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 3: truly trusting God or speaking the truth. This man told 165 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 3: him a half truth, which is really a whole lie. 166 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 3: In disguise. He was a prophet, but there was no 167 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: message from God to overrule the command and not eat 168 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 3: or drink in the land. But with this new information, 169 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 3: the man accept the offer and returned to the old 170 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 3: man's home, where he ate and drank. Whether it was 171 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 3: because he was tired, or because he was hungry, or 172 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: simply because he wanted to hear something different than what 173 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 3: he knew to be true, the man believed the lie 174 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: that he had heard. It was a costly era. God spoke, 175 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 3: this time through the old prophet, delivering a message that 176 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: was as true as it was tragic for the man 177 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 3: of God. In One Kings thirteen twenty one and twenty two, 178 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 3: we read, thus says the Lord, because you have disobeyed 179 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 3: the word of the Lord, and have not kept the 180 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 3: command that the Lord your God commanded you, but have 181 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: come back and have eaten bread and drunk water in 182 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 3: the place of which he said to you, eat no bread, 183 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: or drink no water. Your body shall not come to 184 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: the tomb of your father's. The Man of God left 185 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: angry at the old man lying to him. You have 186 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: to believe that he was also angry at himself for 187 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 3: falling for such a He of all people should have 188 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 3: known that God isn't to be tested, but rather is 189 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: to be trusted. As this man travel along the road, 190 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 3: the tragedy indeed happened. He was killed by a lion. 191 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 3: The old prophet was told of this man's fate and 192 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: went to find his body. He brought it back to 193 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 3: his home and laid it in a grave on his 194 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: own property. He was deeply grieved at the judgment that 195 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 3: fell upon this man and his part played in it, 196 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 3: and he asked his sons to bury him beside the 197 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 3: Man of God when he died. Today's passage reminds us 198 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 3: that we must always seek what is truly from God 199 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 3: and what is not. There are false prophets in the world. 200 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 3: There is truth, and there is error, and many preach 201 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 3: lies and live lies. Rather than preach and live the truth. 202 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 3: We must always beware of those who deny the word 203 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 3: of God and turn from God's truth. In a generation 204 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 3: which many fall to the lives of the culture and 205 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: society and that of Satan himself. We must always be 206 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 3: ready to stand with the truth.
