TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly. And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.” (2 Kings 1:11-12 KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: Despite knowing that Ahaziah was in the wrong, that Elijah was God’s man, and that fire had fell from heaven and consumed the first fifty, the captain of the second fifty not only demanded Elijah to come down, but impertinently insisted that he do so “quickly.”

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Surely, the obstinacy of stiff-necked sinners, even when staring into the face of outright oblivion, serves as proof positive of the total depravity of fallen humanity.
