Politics is a messy business—it always has been. People vie for power, often in unscrupulous ways. Rulers abuse power for their gain. Tomorrow’s political corruption can be found as a mere repetition of the depravity found in the dusty pages of the Old Testament.

The story of 1 and 2 Kings chronicles how the kings appointed by God ultimately used their political might to rebel against the One who gave them their position. God’s response was to raise up His own mouthpieces or prophets, armed with miraculous signs and wonders, to proclaim condemnation for Israel’s idolatry and grace-filled messages of hope. While the nation divided and both sides eventually fell into enemy exile, the prophets of God proclaimed His wondrous glory with a promise of a coming King of all kings.
