2 Chronicles 22:10-12 KJV
10 But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
12 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

2 Chronicles 24:1-3 KJV
1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.

When the world thinks the devil is in control, it might last for a time, but guess what? Great is God's Faithfulness to defeat the enemy and put godly leaders in place. Why does God wait because man desire evil at times and it takes a generation sometimes to wake up and see the goodness of God. Joash a type of Moses, yet instead of a time of exile from the land of Israel this happened in Israel a woman name Athaliah rose up, a harlot that choose the ways of Baal and she took over the land of Israel and killed all the kings sons but one that escaped that was a baby. He was taken by daughter of King Ahaziah, who had married the Priest Jehoiada and hid him from Athaliah the wicked queen inside a bedchamber with his nurse. Thus they were saved. They were then taken to the temple and hidden within it. However the king had the protection of not only the Priest, but the people.

When the day arrived he was announced to the people and the people crown him king and killed the wicked queen Athaliah who had tried to take the thrown of the line of King David. The line of king David restored and the story begins of Joash reign, who was heavily influenced by the religiously all his days of his life. Yet he had a heart for God.

We might ask what is man doing? What is God doing? And what is the enemy doing? It this constant battle in the lives of nations, but it begins at the lower levels of government and the common people, who maybe back someone they should not and they get to high in leadership, to knock them down but the exposure of the crimes must be proven and taken down. What type of leader does the world seek? One that is fair, or one that is only on your side when it counts. If you choose a leader that only back you, then you have a one sided leader who not fair to the other side. We have to judge fairly in our world because sin is what is destroying our land, not cov 19. Let us stand in faith in Christ but let us also agree with those who desire to obey our laws of our land. Athaliah desire the wickedness of the rulers before her, after all King's Ahab's son did not rule in the ways of God. Replacement of one wicked ruler for another is not any better. However what we can learn is that people from all walks of life can obey basic laws, but all can obey the laws of God because of difference in faith and no willing to change from their own idolatry. Jesus Christ came to save man, and to deliver them through the cross. He does just that.

God in his wisdom established leaders that will follow his leadership in spiritual wars of faith, and the spiritual wars of the land that become gross with idolatry, crime, theft, drugs, abuse and so forth. Can anyone fight against these things. I think chapter 2 of Romans state that there people that obey the law because they see the value of it and there people who know the law and obey it not. God had ordained David line to the throne. Athaliah wanted nothing to do with the laws or prophecy of God. That is a red flag. However ignorance to prophesy is only an excuse some say, and others might say prophesy God's word is still present today and God's word will be fulfilled in the life of the world we live in. Meaning the devil can only reign for a short time before God's choice reigns again and his truth will stand forever. Christ, God's only begotten Son will come to reign for eternity one day in the New Jerusalem not in the Jerusalem as we know it today. The new home for God's people and God to live in for eternity.

Dear Heavenly Father strengthen your people, to trust when bad leaders arise that you have a good leader on his way. Be with our leaders and people of our nation Lord, and open their hearts and minds to your word and strengthen to obey the laws they establish as well as your laws of faith. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: Romans 2:11-16 KJV
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

2 Chronicles 23:1-21 KJV
1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
2 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
4 This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
5 And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
6 But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
7 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
9 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.
10 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
11 Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
15 So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.
16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD'S people.
17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
19 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
21 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
