Jehoshaphat

  
"Triomphe de Josaphat" by Jean Fouquet. Licensed under Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons.  The picture shows Jehoshaphat re-entering Jerusalem after his victory over Adad, the King of Syria.

In 1 Kings 22:48, Jehoshaphat seems to represent a corruption of the church, which takes place by falsifying truth. (Apocalypse Explained 514)

Command

  
Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze

To command is to give an order that something must be done, and is directed to an individual, or a group. It is an imperative, not a suggestion. Commanding can be done in two ways, or from two differing motives. It often comes in an organization, where it is used to impose an order that is necessary to do the organization's work, such as a business, or government or an army, and can be legitimate, or is used in a family by parents to maintain an orderly home. But it can also be used by a person who loves power and having gotten it in some way, loves to impose his or her will on others for selfish gratification. So one motive is love of a use, or of good, and the other is for the love of self, or possessions. The Lord, from His infinite love, has given mankind commandments because He is order itself, and knows that our happiness to eternity depends on our acceptance of His order of creation, which ultimately is the only order that exists.
