The Prophet Ahijah

Sermons by Bob Vincent and Others

Ahijah was a blind man who could see (1 Kings 14:4-5).Only the good die young (1 Kings 14:13).Why does God himself use crude language, and why do modern translations attempt to wash out God's mouth? (1 Kings 14:10; Cf. 1 Samuel 25:22, 34; 1 Kings 16:11; 21:21; 2 Kings 9:8).Jeroboam's wife is given a horrible burden (1 Kings 14:12).Ahijah announces the curse sanctions of God's covenant with Israel in 1 Kings 14:11 (Deuteronomy 28:26).How does God visit our iniquity on our children? (Exodus 20:4-6)Can we stop such a curse? (Proverbs 26:2; Galatians 3:13-14; 1 John 1:8-10)
