Pride Comes Before the Fall King Uzziah Pride Comes Before the Fall 2 Chron 26

How Uzziah Becomes King His Father Was King Before Him – Amaziah “And he did right in the sight of the Lord, yet not with a whole heart” (2 Chron 25:2). His Father Was Just Like His Father – Joash He Was Good and Righteous, But The Kingdom Went to His Head. He Went to War Against Israel and Lost Much of the Gold in the Temple. He Was Murdered by Judah…Just Like His Father.

Uzziah Would He Be Just Like His Father? 2 Chron 26:4-5 “And he did right in the sight of the Lord according to all that his father Amaziah had done.” “And he continued to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding through the vision of God; and as long as he sought the Lord, God prospered him.”

Uzziah Prospers He Took Portions of Philistia and Arabia (7) He Captured Ammon Who Paid Him Tribute (8) His Fame Extended to the Borders of Egypt (8) He Built Towers in Jerusalem and Made Engines of War On Top of Them (9-10, 15). He Had a Great Army That Was Well Supplied (11-14). He Had Much Livestock, Vineyards, and Fertile Fields (10). MANY SEE HIM AS A “SOLOMON-TYPE” OF KING.

Uzziah Did Become Like His Father and Not In a Good Way 2 Chron 26:16 What Would Happen? Would Someone Stand Up to This Powerful King? Would Anyone in Judah Stand Up Against the King? Judah Was a Nation At a Crossroads.

America What About Us? Are We At a Crossroads?

Someone Did Say Something 2 Chron. 26:17-18 These Are the Types of Men and Women Our Country Needs…Now. Believers In Christ Need to Let Their Voice Be Heard. What Happens When Churches Don’t Talk About “The Issues”?

Uzziah What Would He Do? 2 Chron 26:19-23 Prov 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.” How Prideful Are Those Who Reject God and His Ways Today? What Does Leprosy Symbolize in the Bible?

Don’t Live at the Crossroads “Here were brought the bones of Uzziah, king of Judah. Not to be opened.”
