Jehu King of Israel: Anointed for Judgment: King Jehu’s Mission from God (2 Kings 9-10)

King Jehu of Israel’s reign was marked by a violent mission to fulfill God’s justice by ending the wicked line of Ahab. Anointed as king by divine commission, Jehu executed key figures like Joram, Ahaziah, and Jezebel, and purged Israel of Baal worshipers, fulfilling prophecies of judgment. Despite his zeal for God's commands, Jehu did not fully commit to the Lord and allowed idolatry to persist; however, his actions led to a four-generation dynasty, illustrating both the severity of divine judgment and the ultimate grace offered through Christ.
