Scripture: 2 Kings 11
Theme: God Preserves the Davidic Line
In 2 Kings 11, Athaliah seeks to destroy the royal family in Judah, but God
preserves the Davidic line through the courage of Jehosheba and Jehoiada.
Joash is hidden, crowned, and anointed king, proving that no enemy can
thwart God’s promises. This passage highlights God’s covenant faithfulness,
the necessity of courageous faith, and the ultimate fulfillment of His plan
in Christ the King.
