Tax Collector Stoned
2 Chronicles 10:18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute (tax collection); and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
When taxes became outrageous in Israel, the northern states formed a “Stone Party,” pelted the government's tax collector, and sent the king racing in his chariot back to the nation's capital in order to save his life. Interestingly, God sided with the assassins and intervened to keep the arrogant king from punishing the rioters (2 Chronicles 11:2-4).
As America faces the largest tax hike in history (January 2012), I recommend we start a new political party . . . Let's be Biblical and call it, “The Stone Party.”
Anybody want to join?
Start building your pile of rocks. “I'm sure God will approve!!”
Pastor Brooks
"Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die): Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches— Feed me with the food allotted to me; Lest I be full and deny You, And say, “Who is the Lord?” Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God."
[Prov. 30:7-9, Bible, NKJV]
