Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.
May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble.
2 Ch18 chapter is full of thrilling incidents and actions. When we're talking about prophets or prophecies, it's more important to focus on what the Lord is telling us than who's saying it. This is the most important thing.
Ahab and Jehoshaphat intended to confront Ramouth-gilead, the Arameans (Syrians). Micaiah, the son of Imla, contested the plan and challenged several of Ahab's false prophets, including Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah. Ahab held reservations about Micaiah because he rarely spoke favorably of him. However, this does not imply that Micaiah's statements were inaccurate or incorrect. The question remains: did his words originate from the Lord or not?
The deceptive spirit was given in the mouth of those false prophets. Micaiah revealed them, but no one believed him. The prophets mocked Micaiah. Both kings proceeded to the battle. The king of Aram focused and attacked Ahab, who was wounded and departed from the battle. The battle raged on that day, and Ahab remained propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans until dusk. Sadly, he passed away at sunset.
However Jehoshaphat called out for God's help when enemies were chasing, The Lord helped him by diverting them away from him and reached Jerusalem safely. Then the King Jehoshaphat reformed much more things to please God.
Ps 20:1 says that May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble. May the Name of the God of Jacob Set you securely on high and defend you in the battle.
When life gets tough, let's hit our knees and Pray. Remember, our God is like, super powerful. He's way bigger than any of our problems or enemies. So, let's Pray and ask Him to hook us up with what we need and Praise Him for keeping us safe.
Psalms 20:7] Some trust in chariots and some in horses, But we will remember and trust in the name of the Lord our God. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Peace be upon Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏
Have a Blessed weekend!!!

τηρήσετε (tērēsete)- you will guard, keep watch over Reference: John 14:15 — "If you love me, keep my commandments" — sits at a hinge point in Jesus's Farewell discourse, right before HE promises the Holy Spirit (the "Advocate"/Paraclete). Root verb: τηρέω (tēreō) — not the more common Greek word for "obey" (peithomai/hypakouō, meaning to submit to authority), but a word that literally means "to guard," "to watch over," "to keep watch". It's the word used for a guard keeping watch at a post, or someone safeguarding a treasure. Love is defined by obedience, not sentiment. Jesus doesn't say "if you love me, feel devoted to me" — he ties love to concrete action. In John's Gospel, love is verifiable; it shows up in behaviour, not just emotion. The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...
