Caption transcript for Kings and Kingdoms: “Judah’s Joash and Uzziah” (5/8)

• 00:02 David Hart: Welcome to "Our Jewish Roots," with
• 00:04 insightful Bible teaching from Israel by Dr. Jeffery Seif.
• 00:07 This week, a mutiny in the palace leads to the king of
• 00:10 Israel, who was the worst of the worst,
• 00:13 coming up on "Kings and Kingdoms."

• 01:07 David: We are so glad you've
• 01:08 joined us today, I am David Hart.
• 01:09 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 01:11 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I am Jeffrey Seif, and what do you think
• 01:15 of my royal bling here?
• 01:19 You know, people came to power in antiquity and they
• 01:21 were decked out, yes?
• 01:23 Kirsten: They were, fancy stuff.
• 01:25 But here's the thing, we're talking about southern
• 01:26 kingdom today, and we're starting out with a
• 01:28 king that was seven years old.
• 01:31 I mean, that's probably taller than he was.
• 01:34 He was just a little one.
• 01:35 Jeffrey: For him, this bling didn't mean a thing, you know.
• 01:38 He was too young, but he grew into something,
• 01:41 and did he grow into the right thing?
• 01:43 Kirsten: I'm excited to hear about our southern kingdom
• 01:45 kings today on the program.
• 01:48 David: Right now, we take you to Jerusalem
• 01:49 for Dr. Seif's teaching, let's go there now.
• 01:51 ♪♪♪
• 02:01 ♪♪♪
• 02:09 Jeffrey: His name was Jehoash, from the
• 02:12 Hebrew "ash," meaning fire.
• 02:15 The name means fire of God.
• 02:18 He started off as a little spark that almost was extinguished.
• 02:24 He grew into a beautiful fire; but eventually,
• 02:30 he was extinguished and came to an inglorious end.
• 02:36 With all the power that he had, surrounded by ramparts,
• 02:41 castle, and wall, like right here in Jerusalem,
• 02:45 it couldn't save him.
• 02:47 Actually, his story began as a very young child when a woman in
• 02:53 the Bible was hellbent on destroying the royal seed.
• 02:58 In 2 Kings chapter 11, the story beings to unfold.
• 03:02 This child, however, was stealthily smuggled
• 03:06 away from the carnage.
• 03:08 The rest of his family was decimated,
• 03:11 but he survived, and eventually, under the tutelage of a priest,
• 03:17 under a priest's guidance, who himself facilitated something of
• 03:21 a coup to bring him to power, this young boy comes of age,
• 03:27 he comes into his own, and becomes something of a faithful
• 03:32 king in Jerusalem for a season.
• 03:38 I don't wanna overstate his faithfulness,
• 03:40 however, because he came to a tragic end.
• 03:45 I'd like you to look in your Bible,
• 03:47 please, in 2 Kings chapter 11, and I'll read it in mine.
• 03:52 [Speaking in Hebrew]
• 03:58 And made a covenant, Jehoiada, Jehoiada who was
• 04:04 the priest who superintended this king, Jehoash.
• 04:09 He made a covenant.
• 04:12 [Speaking in Hebrew]
• 04:16 Between the Lord, between the king,
• 04:19 and between the people.
• 04:21 [Speaking in Hebrew]
• 04:25 That they should be the Lord's people.
• 04:27 Now, this is good.
• 04:29 We're seeing here there is someone who comes to power,
• 04:33 and his power is galvanized with a prophetic seal,
• 04:39 with some divine intentionality of faithfulness to the covenant.
• 04:44 So, I like to see that.
• 04:45 When people come to power in any culture,
• 04:49 I like to see individuals who are tethered
• 04:51 to Judeo-Christian literature.
• 04:55 That there not minded just to parent these things in order to
• 04:58 galvanize votes from evangelicals,
• 05:00 but people who actually appreciate and live by them.
• 05:04 Well, so far, so good.
• 05:06 That this covenant was made between the Lord,
• 05:09 the king, and the people, that they should
• 05:10 be the Lord's people.
• 05:13 [Speaking in Hebrew]
• 05:16 It was made between the king and the people as well.
• 05:21 And then, that's verse 17 and verse 18.
• 05:23 I don't wanna snow job with a lot of Hebrew,
• 05:26 but, you know, we're all about our Hebrew roots,
• 05:28 you know, and there it is.
• 05:30 That all the people of the land then went to the house of Baal.
• 05:34 That is, in the wake of making an executive decision and in a
• 05:38 commitment to the Lord, we're told
• 05:42 [Speaking in Hebrew]
• 05:46 All the people of the land then went to the house of the pagans.
• 05:52 [Speaking in Hebrew]
• 05:55 And broke down the altars.
• 05:58 What I want you to see here is a paradigm shift.
• 06:03 What happens is, through sloth, indolence,
• 06:08 indifference, faithlessness, sin grows up in a culture.
• 06:12 But what happens here, someone comes into his own,
• 06:16 and is guided by someone with biblical values and vision,
• 06:20 and there is a covenant commitment that brings the
• 06:24 people, the Lord, and the leadership together in a
• 06:30 commitment to the Lord, subsequent to which they start
• 06:34 undoing the things around them that had grown
• 06:36 up that were problematic.
• 06:39 Listen, I can live with this.
• 06:41 I like that, would that I would see it
• 06:44 more and more in our culture.
• 06:45 That is to say people come to power with Biblical vision,
• 06:49 and there's some kind of commitment to inculcate that
• 06:52 vision into the broader culture.
• 06:55 To my way of thinking in my own culture,
• 06:58 there are many things that are bombastic,
• 07:00 the slaughter of the innocents being one of them.
• 07:03 That's been perennial, it's been going door la door from
• 07:05 generation to generation.
• 07:07 It seems that we're killing the unborn,
• 07:09 it seems we're doing a lot of wrong things that are offensive
• 07:13 to biblical vision, to my way of thinking.
• 07:16 Things grow up in culture for one reason or another that are
• 07:20 antithetical to the virtues that were constitutive in the
• 07:24 founding of the culture.
• 07:26 Well, it not only happens today, it happened
• 07:28 yesterday, thus the text.
• 07:31 And so, we're at a place in the book where there's a commitment
• 07:34 that's made, and then there is this momentum to eradicate
• 07:38 that which was problematic.
• 07:39 I like to see that.
• 07:41 But speaking of problematic, something happened in the wake
• 07:45 of that that was really troublesome, and that is
• 07:48 here there's a king, the fire of God, he burns out.
• 07:53 He's riding a wave of popularity, of enthusiasm.
• 07:57 The word "enthusiasm" in Greek, "entheos," means in God.
• 08:01 You know, he's definitely working within that world,
• 08:03 but he gets too full of himself, and I've seen this happen on
• 08:08 more than one occasion.
• 08:10 I remember when I began the journey as a college teacher.
• 08:15 My mentor, when I began the journey at the Moody Bible
• 08:19 Institute in Chicago, was a Jewish believer,
• 08:22 Louis Goldberg, Dr. Goldberg was a Jewish Studies professor,
• 08:26 and, you know, I studied under him.
• 08:28 And I moved to Dallas, I wind up becoming a professor myself of
• 08:31 Jewish Studies, and Dr. Goldberg said,
• 08:33 "Jeff, it's not how you start a race that matters,
• 08:37 it's how you finish it."
• 08:39 And 30 years into the game, and that's how long I've been
• 08:42 teaching, among other things, I get his point.
• 08:45 We wanna have a good finish.
• 08:47 This one didn't, he got intoxicated
• 08:50 by himself, full of himself.
• 08:51 The prophet who guided him, he winds up slaying his son because
• 08:56 his son criticized him.
• 08:58 This king wants to be the object of worship
• 09:00 instead of worshiping God.
• 09:02 He's going to come to an inglorious end.
• 09:04 In fact, he's gonna be murdered, tragic.
• 09:09 There's a story here about someone who started
• 09:10 good enough but ended bad.
• 09:14 There's lessons in the Bible, and when I think of kings and
• 09:17 kingdoms, and that is the object of our attention,
• 09:21 we're throwing light at that.
• 09:23 I want to have the right kind of kings that live by the right
• 09:25 kind of values, thinking it bodes better for the kingdoms,
• 09:29 wherein they exercise influence,
• 09:31 not just yesterday, but today.
• 09:34 When you have opportunity to vote for someone,
• 09:36 whether it's a local election or a national one,
• 09:38 look for those who live their lives in accordance with
• 09:43 biblical faith, value, and vision.
• 09:53 Jeffrey: According to the Greeks, it was the beauty
• 09:56 of one princess, Helen of Troy, that
• 09:59 launched a thousand ships.
• 10:03 And according to the Hebrew Bible, it was the perfidy,
• 10:07 that is the faithlessness of one king that launched one prophet,
• 10:14 arguably the most famous prophet in the Hebrew Bible.
• 10:19 And what interests me is that the author of Kings doesn't
• 10:24 want to talk about it.
• 10:28 It's a scandal.
• 10:30 It's an outrage.
• 10:31 It's an upset.
• 10:33 It's the unexpected for Uzziah, arguably was one of the greats.
• 10:40 The author of Chronicles goes into great details in chapter
• 10:43 26, but in 2 Kings 15, where we're going to alight,
• 10:49 5 scant versus are dedicated to a telling of this man's life,
• 10:55 his ministry, and his misery.
• 10:58 Let me begin at Chronicles.
• 11:00 Therein we learn about a man named Uzziah,
• 11:04 also referred to as Azariah.
• 11:07 He starts off as a teenager, 16 years of age,
• 11:10 and he starts off great.
• 11:13 The author of 2 Kings, as you'll see, says as much.
• 11:17 The greatness is enfleshed in the Chronicles account,
• 11:22 wherein the author there says how he built up Judea's army.
• 11:28 It was magnificent.
• 11:30 The author goes out of his way to say they were all according
• 11:34 to their various battalions, they're adorned in various
• 11:38 colors, they have the necessary accoutrements.
• 11:42 It speaks of wealth and power and strength;
• 11:46 and speaking of strength, therein we're told that it was
• 11:50 this Uzziah who built up Jerusalem, the ramparts,
• 11:54 the walls were built with fortifications, akin to
• 11:58 where we are right now, in a wall around Jerusalem.
• 12:02 He built up battle stations, that is,
• 12:04 defensive fortifications.
• 12:06 Beyond that, he expanded the realm.
• 12:09 He had so much going for him, according
• 12:13 to the author of Chronicles.
• 12:14 But then, something tragic happened.
• 12:19 Scant attention is given to it in 2 Kings chapter 15.
• 12:24 Therein we're told, looking in verse 3,
• 12:26 relative to this Uzziah, who's name means God is my strength,
• 12:32 who's also called Azariah, which means God has helped.
• 12:35 But we'll see how strength and help evaporate.
• 12:38 We're told here in the text in verse 3
• 12:40 [Speaking in Hebrew]
• 12:45 "And he did that which was right," or that which was
• 12:47 straight, not crooked, straight, "In the eyes of the Lord."
• 12:53 It's a poetic expression for he was a Tzadik,
• 12:56 he was a righteous man.
• 12:57 He was just, equitable, good, God-fearing.
• 13:01 Of so many kings, it says they did evil in the eyes of the
• 13:04 Lord, but not this one, at least not at first.
• 13:09 He's noted for his stellar performance in verse 3,
• 13:13 but then, interestingly, in verse 5,
• 13:16 and tragically, with no details given here,
• 13:20 again, for that we go to 2 Chronicles.
• 13:22 But with no details here, we're told
• 13:26 [Speaking in Hebrew]
• 13:30 "And the Lord smote the king."
• 13:33 Indicative of a judgement, and we're told particularly
• 13:38 [Speaking in Hebrew]
• 13:42 and that he was a leper until the day of his death.
• 13:47 Noted therein is a providential affliction.
• 13:50 A sudden death would have been kinder.
• 13:52 Leprosy is death by inches.
• 13:55 In as much as crucifixion wasn't about killing a man,
• 13:58 it's making a statement, don't mess with Rome.
• 14:02 Crucifixion kills you as painfully,
• 14:04 and it goes on as long as it was known to man at the time.
• 14:07 Leprosy, before that, is akin to that,
• 14:10 in that it's a slow-moving death.
• 14:13 Why is it that the author of 2 Kings notes that he did right in
• 14:20 the eyes of the Lord?
• 14:22 And in the aftermath of that, with really little to no details
• 14:25 to speak of, we're told that he incurred God's judgment with
• 14:30 a judgement like this.
• 14:33 The author in Chronicles tells the story,
• 14:35 how what he did is he got full of himself.
• 14:39 This Uzziah was very powerful, and it can
• 14:41 be with political leaders.
• 14:43 They start off right, their head is in the right place,
• 14:46 the heart is in the right place, but then their full of hubris.
• 14:49 They get so full of themselves.
• 14:51 They think they're God's gift to planet Earth;
• 14:54 and instead of following God, they wanna play God.
• 14:56 And in fact, Uzziah's problem was akin to that in that
• 15:00 political power wasn't enough, he wanted to claim for himself
• 15:06 tasks that belonged to the priests in going into the temple
• 15:10 and doing the various sacrifices.
• 15:12 He wanted to be more than what he was, and the net
• 15:15 result is that God struck him with a providential affliction.
• 15:21 Would that people that had power,
• 15:24 would that they learned their bounds.
• 15:28 This becomes a problem.
• 15:29 People get intoxicated by it.
• 15:32 They overextend themselves.
• 15:34 There's overreach, and there's judgment.
• 15:38 We see it happen in biblical literature,
• 15:40 and if you look at the story of Kings,
• 15:43 therein the author just gives little bites,
• 15:46 sometimes a paragraph, maybe a chapter,
• 15:48 a few words about these various kings in Israel and Judah.
• 15:52 Most of 'em don't even start off right.
• 15:54 Those that do go south because they get full of themselves.
• 15:58 Instead of following God, they wanna play God.
• 16:00 Listen to me, it's important for us to vote in leaders that don't
• 16:05 just have the right ideas, but they have
• 16:07 the right kind of character.
• 16:10 We wanna look for that, character
• 16:12 that's tested and true.
• 16:14 Napoleon Bonaparte said give a guy some--you know,
• 16:17 elevate a guy, make him a corporal,
• 16:19 give him some power, and you see what they're made out of.
• 16:22 I like to see what people are made out of,
• 16:24 the lives they live, how they are with their wives,
• 16:26 how they are with their friends, how they deal with people,
• 16:30 not just, you know, ideas, political ideas.
• 16:32 We need to find the right kind of people.
• 16:38 The author of Kings says as much, and would that we learn
• 16:41 that lesson and got the right kind of people in the right kind
• 16:44 of place, so we can have the right kind of result.
• 16:58 male announcer: Our resource this week, the
• 16:59 series "Kings and Kingdoms."
• 17:01 These eight programs examine the rulers of ancient Israel and
• 17:04 Judah, because within their stories we find lessons of Godly
• 17:08 leadership and principles we can observe today,
• 17:11 even in our political leaders.
• 17:13 Get this series for yourself or to share with friends by
• 17:16 contacting us and asking for the DVD series "Kings and Kingdoms."
• 17:24 announcer: If you only watch us on television,
• 17:25 you're missing additional content available only on our
• 17:28 social media sites, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
• 17:32 You can always visit our website which is home base for all of
• 17:36 our ministry activities and information.

• 17:41 watch the TV program, or visit the online store.
• 17:46 You can sign up for a tour of Israel and Petra,
• 17:49 or a cruise to Greece and Ephesus.
• 17:51 Please contact us for more information.
• 17:58 Kirsten: We're a television program,
• 18:00 I think that's obvious, but we're also a ministry that has
• 18:03 taken tours to Israel for over 35 years as part of who we are
• 18:09 and what we do and our vision.
• 18:11 You can be a part of that.
• 18:12 Go to the Holy Land.
• 18:14 I believe that God will beckon, and he does beckon people
• 18:17 to come visit his land.
• 18:19 David: We'd love for you to join us.
• 18:20 We also wanna thank you for your financial support.
• 18:23 We could not do any of this without you.
• 18:25 Again, we just wanna say thank you so much.
• 18:27 Right now, let's go back to Sarah Liberman.
• 18:29 We hope you're enjoying her Hebrew lessons.
• 18:32 King David was a praise and worshipper, it's about him
• 18:35 today, let's go there now.
• 18:43 Sarah Liberman: Shalom haverim, welcome back to our series
• 18:46 "Exploring Words of Worship in Hebrew."
• 18:48 I'm so excited as a worship leader that we get to do this
• 18:52 together, because I know that if you take these meanings of these
• 18:56 words in Hebrew into your own personal worship life,
• 18:59 they will transform your relationship with God.
• 19:02 You see, in English, we have two primary
• 19:04 words, praise and worship.
• 19:06 But in Hebrew, where those words are mentioned,
• 19:09 there's so much more that comes into our expression of worship.
• 19:13 Today's word is the word "l'zamer."
• 19:16 Now, in modern-day Hebrew, that word can be translated as to
• 19:20 sing; but in the Bible, it means to make music
• 19:25 with musical instruments.
• 19:26 Isn't that great news for us as musicians?
• 19:29 King David had a heart after the Lord,
• 19:32 and he would make and create all kinds of different instruments,
• 19:37 so that God could be worshipped in song and in music.
• 19:41 So, as we go forward in our worship services and our worship
• 19:45 life, sometimes just making music unto the Lord,
• 19:49 just having no words sung, but having musicians offer a
• 19:54 offering of thanksgiving unto the Lord on their instruments is
• 19:58 a blessing to God's heart.

• 21:10 Jeffrey: The Bible really is a beautiful story,
• 21:12 and I like to punctuate Bible teaching with beautiful music.
• 21:17 And who better than our founder, Zola Levitt,
• 21:19 a very accomplished musician in his own right,
• 21:22 and I'm glad you got to experience him.
• 21:25 Now, however, we go from inspiration to desperation.
• 21:28 The world's gone bad.
• 21:30 We're looking at biblical literature.
• 21:32 The good news is so good because the bad news can be so very bad.
• 21:36 People blew it. Leaders went south.
• 21:39 Dr. Baruch Kvasnica is gonna talk to us about that as we
• 21:43 continue on our journey into the kings of Israel and Judah.
• 21:48 Jeffrey: Baruch, There's an old saying,
• 21:50 "Another one bites the dust."
• 21:52 I hated to see this guy fall apart,
• 21:54 but Uzziah fell hard, didn't he?
• 21:57 Baruch Kvasnica: He really did, he did it because
• 21:58 he took on too much.
• 22:00 He wanted to be king, he wanted to be priest,
• 22:03 he wanted to do it all.
• 22:04 Jeffrey: He had a lot going for him at the start.
• 22:06 He was very promising, but then he went south.
• 22:09 Baruch: He really did, the key moment was when he
• 22:12 attempts to go into the temple and bring that sacrifice
• 22:15 himself, rather than letting the priest do it
• 22:17 as God had ordained.
• 22:18 Jeffrey: Yeah, you know, and it reminds me there are some
• 22:21 people, they come to power and they do it right,
• 22:23 but they get too addicted to it.
• 22:25 They want more of it, and it becomes their downfall.
• 22:28 Baruch: They're not team players,
• 22:30 and Uzziah wasn't a team player here.
• 22:31 He didn't allow that.
• 22:33 In fact, God punished him greatly.
• 22:34 He broke out with a type of leprosy, a scale disease, which
• 22:38 is indicative that he had pride in his heart.
• 22:41 Jeffrey: Yeah, he wanted everything,
• 22:43 and he came to nothing, and he came to it painfully slow.
• 22:47 I mean, he starts off with divine promise,
• 22:50 but then he winds up with divine punishment, not good.
• 22:54 Baruch: We have amazing archaeological evidence of
• 22:56 Uzziah needing to build a freestanding house
• 23:00 because of his leprosy.
• 23:02 And that's been discovered at a place called Ramat Rachel today.
• 23:05 Jeffery: Fascinating, because the text says that he dwelt
• 23:07 alone, as I recall correctly.
• 23:10 Baruch: This is because he had this scaly disease which we
• 23:13 see linked again and again to pride.
• 23:16 In Psalm 51, David says, "Purify me with hyssop," just like the
• 23:24 person who has leprosy needs that purification process.
• 23:28 And Uzziah needed that healing in his heart,
• 23:31 which would have resulted, probably, in the healing of his
• 23:34 skin, but it never happened.
• 23:36 Jeffrey: The last word's yours,
• 23:37 but it reminds me that politicians that get so full of
• 23:41 themselves, they become diseased in a certain way,
• 23:44 and we see it literally with this one.
• 23:46 We only have a few seconds left, what say you?
• 23:51 Baruch: Uzziah had outward signs of an
• 23:53 inward reality that troubled greatly.
• 23:56 And we hope that each person would have purity of heart,
• 24:00 and our leaders would as well.
• 24:01 Jeffrey: Thank you.
• 24:05 David: We hope you're enjoying learning about kings
• 24:07 and leadership as much as Kirsten and I are.
• 24:09 I say enjoy, but there's a lot of tragedy with these guys.
• 24:13 Jeffrey: Yes, when I look at the Bible, and the
• 24:17 Bible is the great professor in the sky giving grades.
• 24:21 Now, he's not inclined to go A, B,
• 24:23 C, D, or F, but the scores are notated in the literature.
• 24:29 Jehoash, you know, I kind of debated him a little bit.
• 24:33 I'm gonna give him a C.
• 24:35 I was going to go D, that's as good as it gets so far.
• 24:38 And the reason is because the Bible says he did good all the
• 24:42 days of his life, but the reason why I'm not grading him higher,
• 24:45 and I was tempted to grade him lower,
• 24:48 is idolatry was everywhere around him, idolatry, and he
• 24:51 wasn't minded to get rid of it, he let it all stand.
• 24:55 So, he develops a toleration that I find problematic.
• 25:00 Kirsten: Now, I'm curious of what you're gonna give Uzziah.
• 25:04 I'm very curious about this.
• 25:05 Jeffrey: Well, I love him, but then I don't.
• 25:07 I mean, he's one of those, he starts off with an A,
• 25:10 he does so good.
• 25:12 I mean, I'm really rooting for him,
• 25:14 rooting for him, but at the end, he blows it.
• 25:17 I've gotta give him an F.
• 25:19 Now, I'm gonna give him an F because God gives him an F.
• 25:22 What happens is he does so good, he's strong,
• 25:25 he builds up the military, he builds up the boarders,
• 25:28 he fortifies the walls, there's prosperity.
• 25:32 But then he gets too full of himself,
• 25:35 he takes on more than he should, he acts like a priest when he
• 25:40 wasn't, and God judged him with an F by giving him leprosy,
• 25:44 which is a kind of living death, so that's God's score.
• 25:48 Kirsten: It is so tragic.
• 25:50 We think that all the, you know, great scripts and the drama
• 25:53 comes from Hollywood, it's right here in the Bible.
• 25:56 I mean, he's swinging his incense, right?
• 25:58 The priest said uh-uh-uh, you know,
• 26:00 don't do that, and then God just starts with a little circle of
• 26:03 leprosy, and then it spreads.
• 26:04 I mean, it's dramatic, right there on the scene.
• 26:08 Oh, my goodness, it is.
• 26:10 Jeffrey: Cecil B. DeMille said, "Give me any two pages,
• 26:12 I can give you an epic motion picture."
• 26:14 Kirsten: There are a lot of pages right here full of it.
• 26:17 Jeffrey: And one of the things we do is, we try
• 26:20 and bring 'em all to life.
• 26:21 I say that because we do dramatic vignettes,
• 26:26 we take people to Bible lands.
• 26:28 Now, we don't have Cecil B. DeMille's budget.
• 26:32 We're not a big movie house in Hollywood,
• 26:35 we really are simple people on a Spartan budget.
• 26:38 If you love what we do by looking at the news through the
• 26:43 eyes of the Jews, if you love it,
• 26:45 don't love in word and speech, but in deed and in truth.
• 26:49 Please catch up with us and give us a dime
• 26:52 so we can pay the airtime.
• 26:53 We really need it, and God will bless you
• 26:55 for helping us get it.
• 26:56 David: Give us a quick takeaway for today, what we've learned.
• 27:00 Jeffrey: Let's run the race and be faithful to the end.
• 27:03 Kirsten: That's good, we have more coming up next week.
• 27:06 Watch us next week, come back.
• 27:07 Jeffrey: And speaking of the end, as we go now,
• 27:09 [Speaking in Hebrew]
