Yesterday I left you in a remarkable and shocking moment in history. We were at the ancient city of Bethel, about 10 miles north of Jerusalem, in the year 930bc. This is the famous place Jacob had twice experienced very significant encounters with the living God! But that was long ago and our visit to Bethel at this time was because Jeroboam was the man the people of Israel were asking to be their leader as they revolted against King Rehoboam, the son of King Solomon. Jeroboam was well qualified for two reasons: He had served well on King Solomon’s leadership team (1 Kings 11:28) and also Jeroboam some years before, had a powerful, life changing, encounter with God. (1 Kings 11:29-31)
