Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Character Studies From The Bible
Jeroboam
25 Then Jeroboam fortified Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. From there he went out and built up Peniel.
26 Jeroboam thought to himself, The kingdom will now likely revert to the house of David. 27 If these people go up to offer sacrifices at the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, they will again give their allegiance to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah. They will kill me and return to King Rehoboam.
28 After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves. He said to the people, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt. 29 One he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan. 30 And this thing became a sin; the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other.
31 Jeroboam built shrines on high places and appointed priests from all sorts of people, even though they were not Levites. 32 He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves he had made. And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high places he had made. 33 On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing, he offered sacrifices on the altar he had built at Bethel. So he instituted the festival for the Israelites and went up to the altar to make offerings.
(1 Kings 12)

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
As Ronald Reagan once said,"There You Go Again!"
Jeroboam is handed the kingdom (at least 10 of the 12 tribes) and he immediately follows the exact pattern of behavior that we saw in Exodus 32. His motives are political, as he worries that the worship of the One True God at His Designated Temple in Jerusalem will turn the People back to the House of David.
This is not far-fetched. Often, those in search of power will use "religion" to control the people. Sometimes they create a totally "New" religion, and try to marginalize those who cling to their own faith. New images, language, flags, songs, codes of behavior, and even laws are enacted to turn the people away from the Faith of their Fathers. It starts innocently enough, with calls for "tolerance" and "Peace" but then escalates to outright persecution.
Jeroboam blew his chance to be a "Bible Hero" who worked within God's plan to guide Israel on the path of correction. Instead, he relegated himself to a few passages of Scripture and is barely remembered.
He DOES serve us though. As a BAD EXAMPLE!
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
