Title: The wrath of King Solomon
Contents
1. Words that begin
In the past, when the elders who had branched out of the parent church tried to establish a church without a clergyman and were not allowed, I was forced to invite a clergyman, and that clergyman was me. When I took office, Kwonsa Kang, the wife of Elder Jang, was unable to leave the church due to a serious illness that did not get better even after going to the hospital or getting acupuncture. I went to visit my wife and I prayed for her, and God revealed through her body the painful places where I had to put my fingers here and there, so she healed me for a long time. As a result, Kwonsa Kang became healthy and went to church well. However, Kwon Kang and other pioneering members, who had been praying for prophecy while building a family altar without my knowledge, first treated me with negative thoughts that were hardened by conflicts and quarrels with the clergy, so I had no choice but to do a very difficult ministry.
In 2 Corinthians 6:1, it says, “As co-workers with God, we beseech you not to receive God’s grace in vain.”
2. King Solomon's wrath and idolatry
Of all the wealthy kings, the one who received the most blessing was King Solomon. In addition, King Solomon was given the gift of wisdom and understanding superior to all human beings. However, King Solomon received all kinds of great blessings and blessings in vain. Intoxicated with all kinds of great blessings and blessings, and relying on his own wisdom and understanding, he forgot God, and thus became a slave to wrath.
First, King Solomon loved the foreign women whom God had told him not to do. The daughters of the rulers of Egypt, and the women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and Hitt, were seven hundred men, and three hundred were empty. Because he was old, he did not have the capacity to take care of all his wives, but he had an international marriage to show off his wife. He did not care about the misfortunes of the countless wives who had to live with the sorrows of the Doksu Workshop for the rest of their lives because of their self-exaltation. Solomon, the King of Wisdom, committed an absurd sin because his heart was taken over by the grace and blessings he had received.
Second, King Solomon got married by arrangement by squeezing his hair as a symbol of wisdom and intelligence. King Solomon, who achieved a prosperous and prosperous nation thanks to his father, King David, had a political, economic, military, diplomatic, and trade affair with a political, international marriage. He wanted to publicize the fact that he achieved prosperity both internally and externally as a result of his wisdom and ability, not God, and also wanted to be recognized as a global leader.
Third, King Solomon spread various idolatry. He only stumbled and stumbled upon his own wisdom. Contrary to the intention and purpose of savoring sexual desires, achieving greater prosperity, and raising his status as a global leader, he has been reduced to a satanic ruler who promotes and spreads idolatry in various countries and tribes. In the end, the God who gave King Solomon a great variety of grace and blessings could not be found in Solomon's life.
Fourth, King Solomon ignored God's warnings against idolatry. They ignored God's warning that if they communicated with the Gentiles, they would surely turn Israel's heart to follow the idols of the Gentiles. He abandoned God's Word and followed the temptations of the Gentile queens and worshiped all kinds of idols. Unlike his father, David, Solomon's heart was not perfect before God, and he followed Ashtaroth, the goddess of Sidon, and Milcom, the abomination of Ammon. Also, instead of following his father David, who completely followed God, he built high places on the mountain in front of Jerusalem for Chemosh, an abomination of Moab, and Moloch, an abomination of the Ammonites. Not only that. He did the same for the Gentile concubines, so that each concubine could burn incense and sacrifice to their idols.
It is often said that there were vile acts such as the distribution of money and valuables in the election of the superintendent, bishop, and bishop president. If it is true, those who worshiped the Golden God in the election may be suffering billions, billions, and suffocating pain.
3. God's Warning
King Solomon, who turned his back on God, received so many great blessings and blessings from God that his descendants could not enjoy them all until the day of his death. King Solomon turned his back on God, but he could not escape God's flaming eyes. What did you say? Isn't 1 Kings 11:9 said, "The LORD was angry with Solomon because he changed his heart and left the LORD, the God of Israel"?
As soon as Solomon became king and received various graces and blessings, he did not decide to leave God. Rather than the grace of God's word given from time to time, he followed his own lust for honor, lust for show, lust for water and power, and even excessive anger, so his heart turned away from God, resulting in God's wrath.
In fact, God appeared to Solomon twice earlier to warn him not to follow other gods because of the Gentiles, especially the Gentile women. But King Solomon used God-given wisdom, power, and wealth to satisfy his wrath, instead of using it to obey God's commands.
It is not because there is no God, or because God is ignorant, or because God is incompetent, that human beings are free to commit sins and iniquity to a certain limit, to debauchery, and to indulge in greed. God knows everything. He does not simply know; he foreknows, teaches in advance, warns in advance, warns in advance.
When Pilate tried Jesus, his wife had a dream in advance that Jesus was innocent, and she was also told that no adverse sentence should be given. In Matthew 27:19, we read, “As the governor was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent and said, ‘Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I had trouble with him in today’s dream.” . Pilate blew up his opportunity to help Jesus because of his political ambitions.
Don't some people get revelations in advance through dreams of what will happen sometimes? A daughter of a house said, 'I wish I could have a dream like that and win the lottery', remembering that someone had appeared in a dream and gave him the serial number, and then bought a lottery ticket with that number and won the lottery. I thought. One day, I finally had a dream. The deceased father appeared and called the serial number. Scared of waking up, I told my mom and bought a lottery ticket with that number. But it was exactly shit. Then, what my mother said is a masterpiece. “It’s always like what your daddy does.”
Even though God knows those who walk away from Him and commit sins on top of their sins by greed, He is waiting for them to repent before punishing or destroying them. Romans 2:4 says, “Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and forbearance, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? You are storing up wrath for yourself on that day, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.” Nevertheless, like King Solonmon, there are many church members who start to believe in the Lord God through the Holy Spirit, receive grace and blessings from the indwelling Holy Spirit, and then leave God and end with self-centeredness and self-centeredness. Galatians 3:3 says, “Are you so foolish? Have you begun with the Spirit and now finish with the flesh?”
4. Conclusion
God judged King Solomon who did not keep his covenant and commanded laws and followed unjust and excessive anger. The kingdom will be taken and given to the servants of King Solomon. However, he said that he would leave part of the kingdom for David and Jerusalem, who lived a good life of faith, not in Solomon's generation, but in the days of his son Rehoboam, thinking of David, Solomon's father. This judgment of judgment was fulfilled when Rehoboam, the son of King Solomon, became king. After King Rehoboam declared a tyrannical rule, ten tribes rebelled and established Israel in the north with Jeroboam as king, and the remaining two tribes remained as Judah in the south.
