2 Kings 1:16

Study

       

16 And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no god in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 16. And thence perception, that it is according to Divine Order, that since the wicked have sought salvation from the extreme evils and falsities of faith alone which is barren and desolate; and have neglected interior good and its truth, which are peculiar to the true spiritual church; therefore they cannot separate themselves from their false doctrine, and must be entirely vastated.
