1 Kings ; Chapter 13 Verse 4 -6
The Man of God From Judah
When King Jeroboam heard what the man of God cried out against the altar at Bethel, he stretched out his hand from the altar and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward the man shriveled up, so that he could not pull it back. 5 Also, the altar was split apart and its ashes poured out according to the sign given by the man of God by the word of the Lord.
6 Then the king said to the man of God, “Intercede with the Lord your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored and became as it was before.
خدا کا بیت ایل کے خلاف کہنا
4 بادشاہ یربعام نے خدا کے آدمی سے بیت ایل کی قربان گاہ کے متعلق پیغام سنا۔ اس نے اپنے ہاتھ قربان گاہ سے ہٹا لئے اور آدمی کو اشارہ کیا اور کہا ، “اس آدمی کو گرفتا ر کرو۔” لیکن بادشاہ نے جب یہ کہا اس کا ہاتھ مفلوج ہو گیا اور وہ اسے حرکت نہ دے سکا۔ 5 قربان گاہ بھی ٹوٹ کر ٹکڑے ٹکڑے ہوگئی اس کی تمام راکھ زمین پر گر گئی۔ یہ ثبوت تھا ان باتوں کی جو خدا کے آدمی نے کہا تھا یہ خدا کی طرف سے ہے۔ 6 تب بادشاہ یربعام نے خدا کے آدمی سے کہا ، “براہ کرم میرے لئے خدا وند اپنے خدا سے دعا کرو کہ وہ میرے ہاتھ کو صحیح سلامت کردے۔”
My point of view about above verses
A man of God cried that Lord says a son named Josiah will be born to house of David – he will sacrifice high priests and human bones on altar – this will happen - sign is that the altar will split apart and ashes on it will be poured out
When king on hearing from man of God that the altar will split he stretch his hand to seize the man of God – his hand freeze and he can’t pull it back so he asked man of God to intercede with the Lord and he interceded & his hand restored – however altar split apart
God speaks through His people - and acts on spot to prove His point - questio is are we attentive to see or understand his signs
May God give us wisdom to understand Him through His Word as He speaks with us through this - and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
