19<\/strong>. he sent prophets<\/em> ] Cp. 2Ch 36:15<\/span>.<\/p>\n to them<\/em> ] Rather, among them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 2Ch 24:19-21<\/span><\/p>\n Yet He sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the Lord.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Judahs apostasy<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>His offence was the denunciation of the sin of the leaders of Judah (Act 7:51-53<\/span>).<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Stoned as a blasphemer.<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>Zechariahs last words: The Lord look on it and requite it.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Stephens: Lord lay not this sin to their charge.<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>The value of a wise and true <\/strong>friend. Jehoiadas influence on Joash.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>The necessity of a moral reformation as well as a political to secure permanent results in religious changes. The reformation under Joash was merely outward conformity.<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>All the prophets suffered under Judaism (Mat 23:35<\/span>; Luk 11:51<\/span>).<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Christ, Stephen, the apostles, the early Christians. Reformers all through history.<\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>Human nature always the same. It hates those who attack its sins.<\/p>\n The goodness of King Joash<\/strong><\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>In ten years from the death of Jehoiada, Joash was so utterly another man that you cannot recognise in him one feature of that godly disposition which distinguished his earlier years. He is a sad illustration of the deceitfulness of the human heart; of the weakness of the natural man; and of the perishing nature of that impulsive goodness which rests solely for its permanence upon the constraining influences of others.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Joash still represents a large class–persons of warm and susceptible feelings, acting habitually under impulse, of a temper of mind volatile, or pliable, or <\/strong>keenly sensitive, upon which impressions are easily made and as easily effaced.<\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>Speaking as I am in a university city, I am reminded that I can point to no spot more suggestive than this of the evanescent quality of that light of the soul which is simply reflected, of that transient goodness which walks by sight and not by faith. How many young men have gathered here, filled with noble emulation, and strong in their own resolution to fulfil the purpose of their coming! And what has followed? First the whisper of the arch-tempter, You are free; eat, drink, and be merry. Then the sceptic, asking contemptuously, What is truth? The controversial humourist, commending his ingenious sophistries with insidious drollery. The listless idler, intruding his unwelcome presence upon the conventional hours of study. The voluptuary, putting his bottle to his companions, and filling them with shame for glory. The sinner in the city, whose house is in the way to hell. The tradesman with his offer of unlimited credit. The sordid moneylender, weaving his web of usury. These, and such as these, have made their obeisance, like the princes of Judah; and behold, Jehoiada is gone, and Joash has hearkened to them! He has left the God of his fathers. He cannot prosper, because God has forsaken him.<\/p>\n 4. <\/strong>Oh, if I am to send my son to fight the good fight of faith, to wrestle against the powers of darkness, let me stablish him with this fact as the counterpoise and antidote to the delusions of the world–that he is now a responsible being. (Henry Drury, M<\/em>.A<\/em>.)<\/p>\n 19. Yet he sent prophets<\/B>Elisha,Micah, Jehu son of Hanani, Jahaziel son of Zechariah (2Ch20:14<\/span>), Eliezer son of Dodavah (2Ch20:37<\/span>), lived and taught at that time. But all their propheticwarnings and denunciations were unheeded.<\/P><\/p>\n Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the Lord<\/strong>,…. To reprove them for their sin, to warn them of their danger, to exhort them to their duty, and endeavour to restore them, and reduce them to the obedience and worship, of God; such was his clemency, goodness, and condescension to them, before he executed his wrath upon them:<\/p>\n and they testified against them<\/strong>; against their sins, and declared what would befall them, and called heaven and earth to witness for God and against them:<\/p>\n but they would not give ear<\/strong>: to their reproofs, admonitions, cautions, and exhortations, but went on in their own ways.<\/p>\n (19) Yet.<\/strong>And.<\/em><\/p>\n To them.<\/strong>Among them.<\/em><\/p>\n And they testified against them.<\/strong>Solemnly besought them, exhorted them in the name of God<\/em> (Exo. 20:21<\/span>; 2Ki. 17:13<\/span>).<\/p>\n But they would.<\/strong>And they did. 2Ch 24:19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.<\/p>\n Ver. 19. Yet he sent prophets to them.<\/strong> ] As God loveth to foresignify; such is his pity and patience. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n And they testified against them: but they would not give ear.] The Vulgate rendereth it, Quos Protestantes illi audire nolebant:<\/em> which Poynes a<\/em> the Papist construeth thus, Whom those Protestants would not hear; and therehence, very doctor like, inferreth that it was foretold in the Old Testament that the Protestants were a malignant church, whereas Protestantes<\/em> there is to be referred to prophets going before; and so it followeth better that the name of Protestants – though in contempt put upon the reformed churches by the Papists, by reason of their protestation against the Romish religion made at Spires above a hundred years since – yet is ancient and honourable; and that they were idolaters that would not give ear to those Protestants of old – as neither will they to this day – who called heaven and earth to witness against them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Preface to his book Of the Sacraments. Sic et Duacerises, Anglice<\/em> <\/p>\n they testified against them. The Vulgate reads quos protestantes = who in protesting against them. Thus, the first instance of the word “Protestant” is found in the Vulgate, and not in the history of the Reformation. Pro = for, and testans = witnessing, is positive, not negative. It denotes a witnessing for God and His truth, not merely against evil. <\/p>\n Yet he sent: 2Ch 36:15, 2Ch 36:16, 2Ki 17:13-15, Neh 9:26, Jer 7:25, Jer 7:26, Jer 25:4, Jer 25:5, Jer 26:5, Jer 44:4, Jer 44:5, Luk 11:47-51, Luk 16:31, Luk 20:9-15 <\/p>\n but they would: Psa 95:7, Psa 95:8, Isa 28:23, Isa 42:23, Isa 51:4, Isa 55:3, Mat 13:9, Mat 13:15, Mat 13:16 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Neh 9:29 – testifiedst Neh 13:15 – I testified Isa 30:10 – say Jer 42:19 – admonished you Amo 3:13 – and testify Zec 1:4 – unto Mar 12:3 – they Luk 20:10 – beat Act 7:52 – Which of<\/p>\n 2Ch 24:19. Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again Gods goodness was astonishing, in sending messengers to reclaim such a base people; whose wickedness was no less wonderful, in that they hearkened to the great men among them, rather than to those whom they knew to be true prophets of Jehovah.<\/p>\n 24:19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they {k} testified against them: but they would not give ear.<\/p>\n (k) They took heaven and earth and all creatures to witness that unless they returned to the Lord, he would most grievously punish their infidelity and rebellion, Neh 9:26.<\/p>\n Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear. 19. he sent prophets ] Cp. 2Ch 36:15. to them ] Rather, among them.
