In biblical times, prolonged suffering was often seen as a sign of divine judgment or testing. The repetitive nature of the suffering emphasizes the severity of the punishment and the inescapability of God's judgment.<p><b>you yourself will suffer</b><br>The personal nature of this suffering highlights that it is directed specifically at the individual, in this case, King Jehoram. This personal affliction can be seen as a direct consequence of his actions, particularly his idolatry and leading Judah astray. The personal pronoun "you" underscores the accountability and responsibility of the king for his deeds.<p><b>from a severe illness</b><br>The severity of the illness indicates the seriousness of the judgment. In the ancient Near East, illnesses were often attributed to spiritual causes, and severe illnesses were seen as a sign of divine displeasure. This reflects the biblical theme that physical ailments can be manifestations of spiritual realities.<p><b>a disease of your bowels</b><br>Diseases of the bowels were particularly feared in ancient times due to their painful and debilitating nature. The bowels were considered the seat of emotions and deep feelings, and a disease affecting them could symbolize internal corruption or moral decay. This specific ailment may also reflect the internal corruption of Jehoram's reign and his spiritual state.<p><b>until it causes your bowels to come out</b><br>This graphic description of the disease's culmination serves as a vivid illustration of the ultimate consequence of sin and rebellion against God. The physical disintegration mirrors the moral and spiritual disintegration that Jehoram's actions brought upon himself and his kingdom. It also serves as a warning to others about the dangers of turning away from God's commandments.<p><b>’”</b><br>The quotation marks indicate that this is a direct message from God, delivered through the prophet Elijah. This prophetic word serves as a divine pronouncement of judgment, reinforcing the authority and certainty of the message. It underscores the role of prophets as God's messengers, delivering both warnings and judgments to His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jehoram.htm">Jehoram</a></b><br>The king of Judah who turned away from the ways of his father, Jehoshaphat, and led the nation into idolatry and sin.
