Just Obedience

Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the LORD. The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me. I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me. Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me: Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.-Jeremiah 35:12-17***Moses was an Israelite from the tribe of Levi, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah,  Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Jonadab (Jehonadab) was a Kenite, descended from the family of Kenites related to Moses' father-in-law. King Ahaziah was an Israelite from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Ahaziah was the 6th king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. King Ahab was an Israelite and the 7th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land. Ahab's wife Jezebel was a Sidonian (Zidonian) princess. Ahab and Jezebel's son Ahaziah was the 8th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, and their son Jehoram (Joram) was the 9th king to reign. Jehu was an Israelite. After being anointed and becoming the 10th king to rule the northern nation of Israel, Jehu killed Joram, and commanded some eunuchs to throw Jezebel down to die, and commanded Israelite elders in Jezreel to behead 70 of Ahab's survivors, and led 42 royals from Judah, who were journeying to visit Ahazaiah, to be killed. After Jehu saw Jonadab, Jonadab rode with Jehu to Samaria and went with Jehu into a temple of idol worshipers, and Jehu commanded that the idol worshipers be killed. Jehu's son Jehoahaz was the 11th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Jehoahaz's son Joash (Jehoash) was the 12th ruler, and Jehoash's son Jeroboam was the 13th ruler, and Jeroboam's son Zechariah  (Zachariah) was the 14th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Shallum killed Zechariah and became the 15th king to reign, Menahem killed Shallum and became 16th king, and Menahem's son Pekahiah became 17th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Pekah killed Pekahiah and became the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During 20-year Pekah's reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites to Assyria. Hoshea killed Pekah and became the 19th king to rule the northern nation. During the 9th year of Hoshea's reign, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. After Ahaziah's death, his mother Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab, began killing her royal descendants and started ruling the southern kingdom. Athaliah was the only woman and the only person not descended from King David to rule Judah. After a 6-year reign, Athaliah was killed, and Jehoash (Joash), the son born to Ahaziah and Zibiah, became the 7th king to rule Judah. The Lord God revealed to Jeremiah the prophet that the Rechabites (Recabites) always obeyed the commands spoken by their ancestor Jonadab. Less than 125 years after Samaria was conquered, Jehoash's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Jehoiakim (Eliakim) became the 17th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiachin's 3-month reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. During the 11th year of the reign of Jehoiakim's brother King Zedekiah (Mattaniah), the 19th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Israelite began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of David and his descendants, all of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-3:24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
