2 Kings 9

2Ki 9:22
Now it happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" So he answered, "What peace, as long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft are so many?"

In this chapter, we saw how the word of God came to pass.

Remember the words of the LORD to Elijah?
"It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. (1Ki 19:17)

In this chapter, we saw how Joram, son of Ahab, was wounded by Hazael in battle, but later killed by Jehu.

And also remember the word of the LORD which came to Ahab through prophet Elijah?
"And concerning Jezebel the LORD also spoke, saying, 'The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.' (1Ki 21:23)

In this chapter, Jezebel died in the exact manner.

What are our thoughts then? Although these prophecies are actually judgement of God on the people, and aren't exactly pleasant to hear about, I think we can look at this from another angle. The words of God never go unfulfilled. It's like the Chinese saying,

‘君子一言， 驷马难追。’

Can we, then, have faith in His word?
