Clue 13: Jehoiada Dies at 130

 

In Second Chronicles chapter 24 we read about King Joash, who had Jehoiada the priest as his guide. Joash did that which was right in the eyes of God throughout Jehoiada's life:
"And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest." (2 Chronicles 24:2)

But, as soon as Jehoiada died, Joash fell away from following God:
"Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them. And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass." (2 Chronicles 24:17-18)

As a result, God declared that He had forsaken them:
"And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you." (2 Chronicles 24:20)

In this historic parable, the death of Jehoiada typifies the end of the Early Rain when God abandoned the church organization in 1988 because of its insistence on chasing after wrong doctrines. Jehoiada was 130 years old when died:
"But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died." (2 Chronicles 24:15)

We’ve learned that God abandoned the churches in 1988, the year that was foreshadowed in this historic parable. The year 1988 was the 13,000th year of this world's existence and was typified in this historic parable by Jehoiada's death at the age of 130 (13 x 10). This clue serves to further confirm the significance of the year 1988 in relation to the end of the Early Rain, which was followed by the Great Tribulation.
