“Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.”
2 Chronicles 25:27 KJV
During those last days, after Amaziah had defected from God, they cooked up a plot against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he had to flee to Lachish. But they tracked him down in Lachish and killed him there. Amaziah turned away from God and his end was tragic. To those who trust God and are loyal to Him, He is our true help. Our protection is only from the Lord, our Creator Who made the heavens and the earth. In the new covenant, our protection is to be in Christ because there is a war in the spiritual realm. Though we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide. We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought, insisting it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. Christ alone is our protection and our victory. Amen!
