“When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family. But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes, who were about to be murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah; so he was not killed.” – 2 Kings 11:1-2 NIV

Her reign clearly will not end well if she tries to destroy her entire family. Authoritarian governments never usually do. God had a plan in place for justice to prevail over this wicked woman and her evil deeds and reign. We need to remember that he will always bring justice and never lose hope in that even if it takes a while and it may not even be in this life.
