The 11th King of Judah – Jotham_s Legacy of Faith _ Strength 👑 · truthunedited

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: A king who never strayed, a ruler who never bowed
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to idols, A leader who strengthened a nation but remained
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: in the shadows. Who was Jotham and why is his
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: name often forgotten? In our last video, we covered King
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of Ziah, the tenth King of Judah, a man who
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: led his kingdom into prosperity, expanded its borders, and strengthened
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: its military. But his downfall was his pride. When he
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: arrogantly entered the temple to burn incense, something only the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: priests were allowed to do, God struck him with leprosy.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: His once glorious reign ended in isolation, hidden away from
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: his people, and so his son Jotham became king. This
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: is the story of the eleventh King of Judah, the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: king who ruled with wisdom, strength, and faithfulness. He reigned
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: for sixteen years, led great building projects and secures, ccured
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: victories in war. Yet for all his accomplishments, history barely
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: speaks his name. Why was it because he never committed
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: scandalous sins like some of his ancestors. Was it because
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: he ruled righteously but never sought the spotlight? Or was
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it because despite his faithfulness, the hearts of the people
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: were already turning away from God. Jotham was unlike most
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: kings of Judah. He ruled during a time of growing corruption,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a time when his own people refused to follow his example.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: He strengthened his kingdom, but could he save it from
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: spiritual decay. This is part of our Deep Bible Story series,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: where we uncover the lives of biblical kings, their triumphs,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: their failures, and the lessons they leave for us today.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Before we begin, a quick note, many people confuse the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: kingdoms of Judah and Israel. By the time Jotham took
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the throne, Israel and Judah were separate nations. The northern
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: kingdom Israel was ruled by a line of kings who
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: had completely abandoned God. Meanwhile, Judah still had kings from
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the line of David, some faithful, some corrupt. Jotham was
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a king of Judah, and his reign took place during
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a politically dangerous time, with threats from within and enemy's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: rising from every side. As always, it is our hope
• 2:24

• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of Jotham, the forgotten king, who stood firm when the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: world around him was falling apart fire. The Palace of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Judah had always been a place of strength, a fortress
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in the heart of Jerusalem. It was within these towering
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: stone walls that Jotham was born, a prince destined to rule.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: He grew up surrounded by the glory of his father,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: King Uziah, a man whose name carried power, respect, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: divine blessing. Under Asiah's reign, Judah flourished, cities were fortified,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: armies expanded, and wealth poured into the kingdom. The economy thrived,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: The enemies of Judah feared the strength of its warriors.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Prosperity had never seemed more certain. From the moment Jotham
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: could walk, he watched his father's victyes unfold, witnessing a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: kingdom at its peak, learning from a king who seemed unstoppable.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: But power has a price, and Jotham would soon learn
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that even the greatest of men can fall. At first,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Jotham only saw his father's triumphs. He stood at his
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: side as foreign envoys bowed before Judah's might. He listened
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: as the elders and priests praised Osiah's wisdom. The boy
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: prince must have admired his father, believing that Judah's golden
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: age would last forever. But then the whispers began, first
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: among the palace servants, then among the gods. Soon even
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the prophets of God came to the royal court with
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: troubled hearts. Jotham knew something was wrong. His father had changed.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: The once humble king had become restless, impatient. The victories
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: were no longer enough. The crown, the throne, the riches,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: none of it satisfied him. He began to speak of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: his own great lines, forgetting that his success came from
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the Lord. And then one day Usiah did the unthinkable.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: The temple of the Lord stood as a sacred place,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a place only priests could enter, where the presence of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: God was honored. But Usiah wanted more. One fateful day,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: he walked into the temple, not to worship, not to pray,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: but to take what was not his. He lifted the incense,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: standing where only the sons of Aaron could stand. The
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: high priest and his fellow priests rushed forward, horrified, My Lord, stop,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: this is not for you. The Lord has commanded that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: only his priest shall serve before him, but Usiah did
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: not listen, and then judgment fell a gasp, a cry
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of horror. The priest staggered backward as a single white
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: mark appeared on Usiah's forehead leprosy. Jotham had never seen
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: his father afraid before, but that day Zsiah fled from
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the temple, covering his face, trembling in fear. The once
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: mighty king, the warrior who had crushed armies, the ruler
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: who had made Judah strong, was now an outcast, marked
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: by God's judgment. From that moment on, Husiah was banished.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He lived in isolation, his reign effectively over. His title remained,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: but his power was gone, and Jotham, still young, still untested,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: had to take his place. It is one thing to rule,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it is another to rule while another man still wears
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the crown. Jotham was not a usurper. He did not
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: seize power, He did not demand the throne. But the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: weight of leadership fell upon his shoulders none the less.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: He had to make decisions, defend Judah, uphold justice, all
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: while the true king lived in exile, unclean and broken.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Did they ever speak, Did Usiah ever worn his son
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the dangers of pride? Did he ever say, Jotham, do
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: not make my mistake, Remember where your strength comes from?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Or was there only silence between them? Jotham had been
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: trained for this. He had studied Judah's laws, watched his
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: father rule, and learned the art of war. But nothing
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: prepares you for the moment when responsibility is no longer
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a lesson but a reality. And he was young, too young,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: many believed the elders of Judah still looked to a sire,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: even though he could no longer lead. The priests still
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: remembered the man who had dared to enter the temple.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Jotham was caught between generations, between the past mistakes of
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: his father and the uncertain future of Judah, and yet
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: he did not waver. Unlike his father, Jotham never overstepped
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: his bounds. He never sought power for himself. He respected
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the temple, honored the priests, and remained faithful to God.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: He ruled with wisdom, strengthening Judah without arrogance. But there
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: was one problem the people. His people did not follow
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: his example. Jotham had watched his father fall, but Judah
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: had not learned the lesson. Idolatry was growing, the influence
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of foreign nations was creeping in. The prophet's warnings became
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: more urgent. The people continued to drift away from God,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and Jotham saw it happening. He led in righteousness, but
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: righteousness cannot be forced upon a nation. A king can
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: build strong walls, fortify cities, establish laws, but he cannot
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: change the hearts of men. So Judah continued to drift.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Jotham ruled for sixteen years. He built great cities, he
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: defeated his enemies, he strengthened Judah, and in all that
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: time he never turned away from God. But despite his faithfulness,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: his people did not follow him. It is a tragic
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: truth in history. A righteous leader cannot always create a
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: righteous nation. Jotham would be remembered as one of the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: few kings of Judah who did what was right in
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the eyes of the Lord. He remained faithful, wise, and strong.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: He was never humiliated like his father. He was never
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: defeated like so many before him. But when his reign ended,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: his people remained unchanged, and the darkness that had begun
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: in his time would soon consume the nation, because after
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Jotham came Ahaz, a king who would undo everything his
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: father had built. Jotham's story is not just about a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: prince who ruled in his father's place. It is about
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: learning from the mistakes of those who came before us.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: The Bible tells us pride goes before destruction and a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: haughty spirit before a fall Proverbs sixteen eighteen. Whoever exalts
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: exalted Matthew twenty three twelve. Jotham score first hand what
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: happens when a man allows pride to take control. He
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: saw the consequences of arrogance and he chose a different path.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But what about us? Are we learning from the mistakes
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of others? Are we humble enough to take correction? Or
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: are we walking toward destruction? Have we allowed pride to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: blind us to the truth. A wise person does not
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: wait to fall before they learn the lesson. They look
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: at those who have fallen, and they walk a different path.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Jotham learned, will we. Jotham stood at the window of
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: his palace, looking out over Jerusalem, the city of God.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: The walls stood high, unshaken, a fortress that had stood
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: for generations. Judah's economy was thriving, its military strong, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: its king a man of wisdom and faith. But power
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: does not guarantee safety. Strength does not guarantee survival. Outside
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Judah's borders, the world was shifting, Enemies were watching, War
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: was coming to the outside world. Judah looked invincible under
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Jotham's rule. Cities had been fortified, the kingdom's defenses had
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: been reinforced, and the wealth of Judah had only grown.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: The Ammonites, a long time enemy, had been defeated and
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: forced to pay tribute. The streets of Jerusalem were filled
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: with gold, wheat, and barley from conquered nations, but true
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: danger is rarely obvious at first. While Judah's wall stood strong,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: cracks had already begun to form, Jotham's own people were
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: turning away from God. The prophets warned of judgment, yet
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: their words were ignored. The nation was becoming divided, not
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: by armies, but by its own spiritual decay, and the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: wolves were waiting for the right moment to strike. Jotham
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: had crushed the Ammonites when they rebelled, forcing them to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: pay tribute for three years, but no enemy forgets defeat.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Somewhere beyond Judah's borders, the Ammonite leaders gathered in secret.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Their tribute to Judah was not a sign of surrender.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: It was a wound they intended to heal with blood.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: They waited, they watched, They whispered to themselves. Judah is
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: powerful now, but for how long? And they were not
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the only ones preparing for war. To the north, the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of Israel was collapsing. Once a mighty nation, Israel
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: had turned its back on God. King after king fell
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: by the sword, assassinations and betrayals, leaving the nation unstable
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and vulnerable. The new ruler, Pecca, had seized the throne
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: through murder. He was a man of violence and desperation,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: determined to keep Israel from falling apart, and that meant
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Judah could not be ignored. Pecca saw Jotham's success and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: resented it. He knew that without allies, Israel would be
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: crushed by the rising Assyrian empire, so he turned to Resin,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the king of Aram Syria. Together they made a deadly decision.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: But the greatest threat of all was not the Ammonites.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: It was not Israel, it was not Aram. It was
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: as Syria. Far to the northeast, a superpower was rising,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: an empire unlike anything the world had ever seen. Assyria
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: did not conquer lands, they erased them. King Tigleth Pilessa
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the Third was not content with ruling an empire. He
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: wanted the world. His armies were not just strong, they
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: were unstoppable. His soldiers did not just defeat their enemies,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: They destroyed their cities, enslaved their people, and crushed any
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: hope of rebellion. And now Syria was marching south. Jotham
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: sat in his throne room, his advisers whispering urgently around him.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: The news had arrived the Ammonites were waiting for their
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: chance to rise again. Israel and Aram were forming an alliance,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: pressuring Judah to join them. Assyria was expanding, swallowing kingdoms
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: one by one. It was only a matter of time
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: before Judah became the next battleground. His father Usiah had
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: been a warrior king. Would Jotham take the same path.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Would he march to war? Would he seek an alliance
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: or would he stand alone? Trusting in God rather than
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the shifting alliances of men. Jotham had always ruled differently
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: than other kings. He had built, not conquered. He had strengthened,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: not boasted. He had walked with God, not sought his
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: own power. But now Judah stood on the edge of destruction.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: The decision he made next would shape the future of
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: his kingdom forever. Jotham's kingdom was physically strong but spiritually weak.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: The enemies outside were not as dangerous as the corruption within.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: The Bible tells us. Unless the lord builds the house,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the city, the gods stand watch in vain. Psalm one
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: hundred twenty seven, Colon one, Be strong and courageous. Do
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: not be afraid or terrified because of them. For the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Lord your God goes with you. He will never leave
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy thirty one six. Jotham had
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: built strong walls, but was his faith strong enough to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: stand against the storm? What about us? When life looks
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: strong on the outside, is our faith strong on the inside?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Do we trust in worldly security or do we trust
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in God alone? Are we standing firm in righteousness? Or
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: are we allowing compromise to creep into our lives. The
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: greatest battles are not fought on the battlefield, They are
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: fought in the heart. Will we stand firm when the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: storm comes? Jotham walked alone not because he was weak,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: not because he was uncertain, but because he chose righteousness
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: over popularity. In an era when kings built idols instead
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: of kingdoms, when rulers sought glory instead of obedience, when
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: power was measured in conquests instead of character, Jotham was different.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: He never bowed to idols, He never abused his power,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: He never let pride consume him. He was a king
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: who walked with God. But what happens when a righteous
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: king rules over an unrighteous people. Most kings in ancient
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: times sought expansion. They wanted to crush their enemies, claim
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: new lands, and make their names legendary. But Jotham had
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: a different vision. He didn't see more land, he didn't
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: chase more war. He focused on one thing building two
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Chronicles twenty seven three to four says he built the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: upper gate of the House of the Lord, and he
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: did extensive work on the wall of Ofel. He built
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: towns in the hill country of Judah, and forts and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: towers in the wooded areas. While other kings sought personal glory,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Jotham fortified his kingdom. He strengthened the walls of Jerusalem,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: ensuring the capital was secure. He built military fortresses, reinforcing
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Judah's defenses before war could come. He saw what other
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: kings ignored. Victory is not only about winning battles, it's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: about being prepared for them. And yet, for all his wisdom,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: for all his faithfulness, Judah's people did not follow his example.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Jotham's reign was one of the few in Judah's history
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that was free of scandal. Unlike his father Usiah, he
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: never let pride drive him to overstep his bounds, and
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: like his son Ahaz, he never compromised his faith. Unlike
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: so many kings before him, he never turned to idols.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Two Kings fifteen thirty four to thirty five says he
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: did what was right in the eyes of the Lord,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: just as his father Usiah had done, But the people
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: continued their corrupt practices. Jotham was righteous, but his people
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: were not. They still worshiped idols, they still practiced corruption,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: They still ignored the warnings of the prophets, and Jotham
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: must have watched it happen with a heavy heart. He
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: could build walls, but he could not change hearts. He
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: could fortify cities, but he could not force his people
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to follow God. He could walk in righteousness, but he
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: could not make his people do the same. And so
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: while Judah stood strong physically, it was crumbling spiritually. Perhaps
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the most powerful thing about Jotham's reign is not what
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: he did, but what he refused to do. His father
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Usiah had made one fatal mistake. Whosiah was a mighty king,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a victorious warrior, a wise ruler, but in the end
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: his pride consumed him. He thought he could walk into
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the temple of God and take on the role of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a priest. He lifted the incense, standing in a place
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: only the priests of God were allowed to stand, and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: in that moment God struck him with leprosy. Jotham was
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: just as powerful as his father, He was just as wise,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: but he knew his place. He never entered the temple
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: in arrogance. He never overstepped his boundaries. He never forgot
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that his strength came from obedience, not ambition. This is
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: what set him apart. Two Chronicles twenty seven six tells
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: us his secret. Jotham grew powerful because he walked steadfastly
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: before the Lord his God, not because he had a
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: gre army, not because he had a vast kingdom, not
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: because he had a powerful economy, but because he walked
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: with God. For sixteen years, Jotham ruled with faithfulness, He
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: protected Judah, he honored God, and he never wavered. And
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: yet despite everything, the people refuse to change. They still
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: worshiped false gods. They still chose corruption over righteousness, They
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: still ignored the prophets. And Jotham had to ask himself
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: what happens when a leader follows God but the people
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: do not. Because the moment Jotham was gone, Judah's true
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: state would be revealed, and the truth was terrifying. Jotham's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: story is a rare example of obedience in the midst
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: of rebellion. He did what was right even when no
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: one followed him. The Bible tells us the Lord is
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: with you when you are with him. If you seek him,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: he will be found by you. But if you forsake him,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: he will forsake you Second Chronicles fifteen two. Trust in
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: your own understanding in all your ways. Submit to him,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and he will make your path straight Proverbs three five
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: through six. But here's the question. Are we walking with
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: God even when others around us are not? Are we
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: seeking to build our lives in faithfulness or are we
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: being influenced by a world turning away from God? Are
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: we trusting in our own strength? Or are we remaining
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: steadfast before the Lord. It's easy to be faithful when
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: others are watching, But what about when no one else is?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Will we still walk with God? The war drums echoed
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: across the valleys of Judah. Messengers arrived in Jerusalem breathless
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: with the news that every one feared. The Ammonites had
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: rebelled for years. They had been forced to pay heavy
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: tribute to jude Yudah, attacks that reminded them of their
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: defeat under King Uziah. But now with Usiah gone and
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Jotham ruling in his place, the Ammonites saw an opportunity.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: They whispered, the new king is weak. He is not
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a warrior like his father. They were wrong. Jotham had
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: spent years strengthening Judah's walls. He had built fortresses and
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: fortified defenses. But there was one thing the Ammonites did
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: not understand. He was also ready for war. This would
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: not be a long drawn out conflict. This would be swift,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: This would be decisive. That this would be a lesson.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: They would never forget. The Ammonites had always been a
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: thorn in Judah's side. Descendants of Lot, they had long
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: been enemies of Israel, attacking from the east and stirring rebellion.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Whenever they sensed weakness. Uziah had crushed them, Jotham would
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: humiliate them. The Ammonites assumed that because Jotham was a builder,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: not a warrior, he would hesitate. They assumed that because
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Judah had prospered in peace, it had forgotten how to fight.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: They assumed that because Jotham was a righteous king, he
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: would seek diplomacy instead of battle. They assumed wrong. Jotham's
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: spies had been watching them for months. He had known
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the rebellion was coming before the first Ammonite soldier even
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: crossed the border, and so he struck first. The battle
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: was over before it started. Before the Ammonites could fully mobilize,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Jotham's armies descended upon them like a storm. Sect two
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Chronicles twenty seven five says Jotham waged war against the
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: king of the Ammonites and conquered them that year. The
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Ammonites paid him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: cores of wheat, and ten thousand corps of ballei. The
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: victory was total. The Ammonites were crushed, their cities raided,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: their warriors defeat, and their rebellion extinguished before it could
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: even begin. For the next three years, they were forced
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to send even more tribute than before, a hundred talents
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: of silver, ten thousand measures of wheat, ten thousand measures
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: of barley. They had expected an easy victory. Instead, they
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: had become Judah's greatest financiers. But war always comes with consequences.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Jotham had won, but had he also painted a target
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: on Judah's back. With every battle one, with every enemy subdued,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Judah's name became greater. Merchants prospered, fortresses stood strong, Gold
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: flowed into the treasury. But wealth invites jealousy and strength
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: invites challenges. Because in the shadows, Assyria was watching the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Northern Empire growing in power, had already begun its merciless
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: march across the region. They had seen what Jotham had
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: done to the Ammonites, and they had one question. Would
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Judah stand with them or against them? Would Judah be
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: their ally or their next conquest. Jotham had won this battle,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: but the war for Judah's survival was far from over.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Jotham acted decisively when the time for war came, But
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: this raises an important question. Exodus fourteen fourteen says, the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Ecclesiastes three Colonnades says there is a time for war
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and a time for peace. So how do we know
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: when to fight and when to trust God to fight
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: for us? Are we stepping into battles that God never
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: called us to fight? Are we waiting for God when
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: he is calling us to act? Do we prepare ourselves
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: in times of peace so we are ready when the
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: battle comes. Jotham knew when to strike, but do we?
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: The world was changing. A storm was coming, and its
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: name was as Syria. For decades, the kingdoms around Judah
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: had fought small wars, shifting power back and forth like
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: sand in the wind. Nations rose and fell, but the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: balance of power remained the same until now. Because now
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a new empire was rising in the north, one that
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: did not just defeat enemies, but erase them from history.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: And at this center of this growing beast stood one man,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Tiglath Pilizer, the third Tigleth Pelsa. The third was not
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: like other kings. He did not rule with mercy. He
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: did not negotiate with rebels. He did not allow defeated
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: nations to recover. In Isaiah ten to seven, the Bible
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: describes a Syria's purpose. But it is in his heart
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: to destroy, to cut off nations, not a few. A
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: sirious strategy was simple and terrifying. Invaghed swiftly, destroy completely,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: deport the survivors so they could never rise again. The
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: cities of the north were already falling before him. Two
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: kings fifteen twenty nine says in the days of Pekar,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: King of Israel, Tiglath Pileesa the third came and took ijon, Abul, Bethmaka, Janoah, Kadesh,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: and Hazor. One by one. The mighty fortresses of Israel crumbled.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Their people were scattered, their leaders were slaughtered, and now
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Assyria was coming for the south. As the Assyrian armies
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: marched closer, the kings of Israel and Aram modern Syria
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: began to panic. There's only chance of survival a military alliance,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: so they looked to Judah to Jotham. The kings of
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Israel and Aram sent messengers to Jerusalem, demanding Jotham join
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: their coalition against Assyria. Stand with us, fight with us,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: or be destroyed with us. It was a deadly choice.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: If Jotham refused, Israel and Aram my turn on Judah first,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: forcing them into submission. If he accepted, he would be
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: dragged into a war they could not win. Jotham had
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a decision to make. Would he trust in alliances with
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: men or would he stand alone and trust in God.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Jotham did not waver seek Two Chronicles twenty seven six
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: says Jotham grew powerful because he walked steadfastly before the Lord,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: his God. He knew the history of Judah. He knew
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: that every time Judah trusted in foreign alliances, disaster followed.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: His grandfather Amasiah had trusted in mercenaries from Israel, only
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to be betrayed. His father Usiah had trusted in his
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: own strength, only to be struck down by God. Jotham
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: would not repeat their mistakes. That he refused the alliance,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: and in doing so he made powerful enemies. Israel and
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Aram were furious to them. Jotham had abandoned them, and
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: so they turned against him. Sac Two Kings fifteen thirty
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: seven says in those days the Lord began to send Resin,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: King of Aram, and Peccah, King of Israel, against Judah.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Israel and Aram, once Judah's reluctant allies were now its
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: greatest threats. War was on the horizon, but Jotham would
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: not live to see it, because, even as the world
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: plunged into chaos, his time as king was drawing to
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a close. The next ruler of Judah would inherit the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: storm he had tried to avoid, and that ruler was
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: his son. A has the test of trust. Jotham had
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: everything to fear, powerful enemies, shifting alliances, and the looming
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: shadow of Assyria. Yet he did not give in to fear.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: He did not trust in men, armies, or political deals.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: He chose to trust in God alone. But let's be honest.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: How easy is that for us today? When we're faced
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: with uncertainty, when the pressure is mounting, when people around
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: us expect us to compromise, what do we do. Do
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: we stand firm like Jotham, even if it makes us enemies,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: or do we bow to fear, seeking short term solutions
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: that cost us long term faith. Psalm twenty verse seven
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: reminds us some trust in chariots and some in horses,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: but we trust in the name of the Lord, our God.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Let's break this down. Jotham could have made an alliance
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: with Israel and Aram. It would have been the easier choice.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: He could have gained their protection, avoided immediate war, and
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: secured temporary safety. But that's the problem. Human solutions only
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: provide temporary safety. We do this too, don't we We
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: put our security in jobs, relationships, savings, influence, thinking they
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: will protect us. We run to people, not prayer. We
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: trust in what we can see, rather than the God
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: who is unseen. Jeremiah seventeen five warns us cursed is
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: whose heart turns away from the Lord. Jotham had to
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: choose trust in men or trust in God, and he
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: chose God. Now here's the real question. Would we have
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: done the same. Jotham's decision came at a price. It
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: made him enemies Israel and a Ram turned on him.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: War was coming, His kingdom was in immediate dangers. Imagine
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that moment, and imagine knowing that your obedience to God
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: is what made your situation harder. Imagine standing firm in
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: faith and watching your enemies prepare for war because of it.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: What would you do? Because this happens in our lives too.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Sometimes choosing righteousness means losing friendships. Sometimes standing for truth
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: means facing opposition. Sometimes obeying God means walking a path
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: that feels lonely. Jesus said in Matthew five ten, Blessed
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: are those who are persecuted because of righteousness. For theirs
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: is the kingdom of heaven. Jotham chose to trust God
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: even when it hurt. Would we have that same courage.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Jotham made the right choice, but his son AHAs did
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the opposite. At Jotham trusted in God and Judah was safe.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: A Has trusted in men, and Judah was almost destroyed.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Isaiah sevent nine records the warning given to ay Has,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: if you do not stand firm in your faith, you
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: will not stand at all. That warning is for us too,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: fire when trials come, when pressure mounts, when we are
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: faced with the easy compromise or the hard obedience, what
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: will we choose? Because the truth is, if we do
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: not stand firm in faith, we will not stand at all.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: What is you're assyria, the thing that fills you with
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: fear and tempts you to compromise. What alliances have you
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: made in your life trusting in human security rather than
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: God's promises? Where is God calling you to stand firm
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: even when it feels risky? We must ask ourselves, do
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: we live like Jotham, trusting in God's strength? Or do
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: we live like a Haas seeking worldly solutions and falling
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: into disaster? Faith in God is not about taking the
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: easiest path, It's about taking the right one. Jotham stood strong.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Will you? Jotham had spent sixteen years ruling Judah with wisdom, strength,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: and faithfulness. He had fortified its walls, strengthened its borders,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: and insured its stability. He had done everything a righteous
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: king should do. But there was one thing he could
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: not do, change the hearts of the people. For all
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: his success, Judah's spiritual declines continued. Idolatry crept into the land,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the warnings of the prophets were ignored, and worst of all,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: his own son, Ahaz did not walk in his ways.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: When Jotham closed his eyes for the last time, he
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: left behind a kingdom that was physically strong but spiritually weak,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and what he had built in faithfulness would soon be
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: torn apart by compromise. Jotham's story forces us to ask
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: one of the most difficult questions in life. Are we
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: building something that will last beyond our lifetime? We spend
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: years working, planning, and leading, But what happens when we're gone?
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Will our children carry on our faith or will they
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: throw it away? Will the foundation we build stand strong
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: or will it crumble When we're no longer there to
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: hold it up at Proverbs thirteen twenty two says a
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children, But
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: in inheritance is more than money, its faith, wisdom, and integrity.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Jotham left behind a strong kingdom, but his greater sorrow
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: was that his son did not follow his example. Ask yourself,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: are you teaching the next generation to stand firm in faith?
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Or are they being influenced by a world turning away
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: from God? Are you building your life on eternal values
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that will outlast you or on temporary successes that will
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: fade if you were gone tomorrow, what legacy would you
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: leave behind. Jotham reminds us that faithfulness matters, but we
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: must also pass it on, because if we don't, everything
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: we build could be destroyed in a single generation. Are
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: you building something that will stand the test of time fire?
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Jotham was a rare king, a ruler who never wavered,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: never bowed to idols, and never abused his power. In
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: a time time when so many kings fell to corruption,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: he remained faithful. But did it make a difference. Despite
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: his righteous rule, Judah did not change. The people continued
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: in their sins. The prophet's warnings were ignored, and the
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: moment Jotham was gone, his son Ahaz took the throne
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and everything collapsed. AHAs abandoned God, turned to pagan gods,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: and even sacrificed his own son in fire. Jotham's faithfulness
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: did not prevent disaster, at least not immediately. It's one
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: of the hardest lessons in scripture. Sometimes doing the right
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: thing doesn't bring instant results. Have you ever felt like
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: your faithfulness wasn't making a difference. You pray, you lead,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: you try to do what's right, but nothing seems to change.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe your family ignores your faith, Maybe your workplace remains
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: hostile to your value use. Maybe the world around you
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: seems to get worse no matter how hard you try
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: to live righteously. Jotham reminds us of this truth. Faithfulness
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: is not about results. It's about obedience. Verse Corinthians fifteen
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: fifty eight says be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: labor is not in vain. Galatians six' nine encourages us
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: let us not grow weary in doing, good for at
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the proper, time we will reap a harvest if we
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: do not give. Up do you stay faithful even when
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: you don't see? Results are you more focused on obedience
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: To god or on the outcome of your? Efforts if
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: your faithfulness today doesn't bring change in your, lifetime will
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: you still choose to Follow. God jotham may not have
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: lived to see the fruit of his, righteousness but his
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: faithfulness was not in, vain because in the generations that,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: followed another king would rise from the line Of, david
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: a king greater than them, all and his kingdom would never.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Fall are you willing to stay faithful even when the
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: results aren't immediate. Fire the halls of history echo with
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: the names of great, Kings, David, Solomon. Hezekiah their stories
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: are written in bold, letters remembered for their triumphs and their.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Failures But, jotham his name is barely. Whispered he ruled with,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: wisdom he built with, strength he walked faithfully Before. God
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: yet when people speak Of judah's, kings he is. Forgotten no,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: scandal no, rebellion no fall from, grace, fire just quiet.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Obedience and maybe that's why his story matters more than we,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Realize because in a world that chases, recognition, power and personal,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Glory jotham's life proves something profounds is not about being.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Noticed it's about being. Steadfast he never bowed to, idols
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: he never let pride corrupt, him he never Abandoned. God
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: yet despite his, Faithfulness judah still drifted into darkness after his,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: reign and that raises the ultimate. Question if doing everything
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: right doesn't guarantee, success is faithfulness still worth. It jotham's
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: life shouts y e s Because god's definition of success
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: isn't about, fame, wealth or immediate. Results it's about. Obedience
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: jotham ruled with righteousness in a world that was crumbling around.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Him he wasn't, famous but he was, faithful and In god's,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: kingdom faithfulness matters more than. Fame how often do we chase?
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Recognition how often do we measure success by who notices,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: us who praises, us who remembers our? Name But jotham's
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: life stands as a rebuke to that way of. Thinking
