The history of King Ahaziah's sin and its punishment has in it a warning which none can disregard with impunity.
Men today may not pay homage to heathen gods, yet thousands are worshiping at Satan's shrine as verily as did the king of Israel. The spirit of idolatry is rife in the world today, although, under the influence of science and education, it has assumed forms more refined and attractive than in the days when Ahaziah sought to the god of Ekron.
Every day adds its sorrowful evidence that faith in the sure word of prophecy is decreasing, and that in its stead superstition and satanic witchery are captivating the minds of many.
Today the mysteries of heathen worship are replaced by the secret association and seances, the obscurities and wonders, of spiritistic mediums. Believers in spiritism may speak with scorn of the magicians of old, but the great deceiver laughs in triumph as they yield to his arts under a different form. Others are led astray by the teachings of Christian Science, and by the mysticism of Theosophy and other Oriental religions.
Ahaziah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam. 1 Kings 22:52
