Ernest T, What started your family downward spiral? Helen Crump can never be your mother figure.
QUESTION RECEIVED:
What is the name of
the person in the Bible whose mother, father and grandfather all died on the
same day but different ways?
MY ANSWER:
Ichabod
1 Samuel 4:19-21 New King James
Version (NKJV)
19 Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas’s wife,
was with child, due to be delivered; and when she heard the news that the ark
of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she
bowed herself and gave birth, for her labor pains came upon her. 20 And about
the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Do not fear, for
you have borne a son.” But she did not answer, nor did she regard it. 21 Then
she named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!”
because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and
her husband.
The unfaithfulness of the priest
Phinehas and his brother Hophni caused
the Lord to depart His favor from Israel The Lord took their life in battle. Israel lost the Ark of The Covenant which contained the Ten
Commandments.
These men did not honor God, Family and vocation and abused the poor and women
These men did not honor God, Family and vocation and abused the poor and women
The news of Hophni and Phinehas
death caused the death of their old father Eli who on receiving fell and broke
his neck. The anguished mother died in
childbirth. The child’s name Ichabod means
“The glory has departed from Israel!”
This is a warning to all people and families to turn to the Lord.
