2 Kings 3

And then Jehoram, his brother, became king.

And 2 Kings 3 tells us that he also did evil in the sight of the Lord.

He wasn't quite as bad as his father and mother, but that's not a real great compliment.

Hey, you're not as bad as your evil and most wicked king of Israel.

They're all kind of proving that it is a true statement.

So let's look here in 2 Kings 3 verse 4.

So once again, we're talking about we have the Moab king that says that he had, you know, fought against Israel.

So in 2 Kings 3 verse 4, it says, Now Meshach, king of Moab, was a sheep breeder, and he regularly paid the king of Israel 100,000 lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams.

And then 2 Kings 3 verse 4, as you can see here, mentions Meshach, which once again, it's just a name, but it's a name that proves that what the Bible is saying is true, as well as, you know, what this stele is listing out here corroborates that.

Now this stone also mentions something else inside of it.

It mentions the 12 tribes listed inside of here.

I'll have you pull out your notebooks and your Bibles.

But for right now, the word of God comes to us from 2 Kings 3, verse 16.

And it says, and he said, thus says the Lord, make this valley full of ditches.

For thus says the Lord, you shall not see winds.

I believe that God can do it suddenly.

He can.

But until he does, what are you going to do? Turn with me in your Bibles to 2 Kings 3.

Put your notebook in your Bibles, and I want you to jot down the title of today's teaching, which is, Dig Until God Moves.

The message this afternoon here is entitled, The Faith and Patience of Elisha.
