Jehoram - King of Judah - "He died to no one's regret...."

Bible | 24 August 2016 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Jehoram King of Judah

2 Chronicles 2:4 When Jehoram established himself firmly over his father’s kingdom, he put all his brothers to the sword along with some of the officials of Israel.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
6 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
7 Nevertheless, because of the covenant the Lord had made with David, the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David. He had promised to maintain a lamp for him and his descendants forever.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Very interesting verse in the Bible. A LOT of lessons could be taught off of this verse. Leaders who are completely evil leave no one with regrets when they are gone. Also, some bosses who do not know how to properly treat their employees fit the same category. Ingrates, abusive, overly greedy, etc. all fit this concept.

It might be wise to encourage your sons (and daughters) to be careful of whom they marry and the background of such persons. It really matters.

I have been asserting since last year that Trump is today’s Jehu, and it was Jehu who killed Jehoram, and had Jezebel thrown over the roof to her death as well.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Yep.

and had Jezebel thrown over the roof to her death as well.

I believe you may be mistaken. I just seen her on TV the other night. She's still on the campaign trail...
