Last time we saw the beginning of the destruction of the house of Ahab, and tonight we will see its utter eradication from the face of the earth. This is a reminder to us of how our Lord Jesus Christ overthrows every antichrist. Every power that arrays itself against the Lord and his anointed will be overthrown. Last time we saw how Jehu is the only "christ" in the northern kingdom of Israel. He is the only anointed king in the history of the northern kingdom. He is also the closest thing to a good king that Israel ever had. In faithfulness to the word of the LORD, he assassinated both Joram of Israel and Ahaziah of Judah, self-consciously bringing to pass the word of the LORD through the prophet Elijah. Jehu has killed the leaders of the house of Ahab, but that is not all that Elijah had said. It is not enough to overthrow the antichrist, you must destroy everything that belongs to him...
