We see in King Jotham a example of the thousands of people mentioned in Hebrews 11 who are written for our example: And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, did not receive the promise, for God had provided some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us. (Heb 11:39-40)
Similarly there were 7,000 unnamed people whom Elijah did not know about (1Kings 19:18)
How many in Israel pleased God, so as to be in the First Resurrection?
It's amazing how much truth can be in so few verses...
Amen!

Every day one must choose whether they will follow Jesus or step out of their ordained path and follow their own ways.
Very true!
