Scary fast!!!


This little baby goes 675 kilometers per hour!!!  That's not just fast, its scary fast!!!  So is its driver.  It takes a certain craziness to do things like that; I guess you just have to be zealous enough for what you like doing to run something like this.  When I saw this picture, I immediately thought of someone from the Old Testament.  Here is the passage from the book of Second Kings and I think you will see it as well.

2 Kings 9:20-26 (WEB)
20) The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.”
21) Joram said, “Get ready!” They got his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22) It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”
23) Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “There is treason, Ahaziah!”
24) Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25) Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him:
26) ‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the word of Yahweh.”


Jehu is a hard person person to forget because he the essence of enthusiasm!!!  Yet, I have to look a little deeper into this situation, for the God of Heaven put it into Jehu's heart to be this way.  People forget that God remembers the wrong that men do.  Jehu was an instrument of God's will and as such he was terrifying!!!  God's justice may take awhile to be accomplished, but it does happen and when it does... its scary fast!!!!!
