Ahab wounded in his chariot

1 Kings 22: 34 – 35: And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.

With the encouragement of four hundred prophets who forecasted a victorious battle, Ahab King of Israel went up to Ramothgilead and fought against the Syrians. Whilst the battle raged, the king was struck by an arrow and died that evening from the wound he had received.

The death of Ahab from the arrow wound he received in his chariot has a startling resemblance to the death of John F. Kennedy. As America’s first Catholic president with the hidden power of the Catholic Church behind him, the prophet of God likened Mister Kennedy to a modern Ahab, and the Catholic Church to Jezebel. As Ahab was struck by an arrow in his chariot and died from his wound, so Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, having been hit by a bullet whilst riding in the Lincoln Continental presidential limousine.
