Well, the prophet asked the guy of God to go eat with him, saying that God had told him to feed him. So guy of God goes and eats. While they are eating, the prophet started prophesying.
21 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
22 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
He gets done eating his last meal, and starts on his way home, and a lion attacks and kills him.
The old prophet hears of this, goes to find him, and the mans donkey is just standing there on one side of the carcass, and the lion is sitting there on the other.
28 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.
Who says that animals only kill for food or when threatened? This lion clearly was used as a tool of the LORD to kill. It wasn't satan who made the lion attack, it was GOD! These are the things that happen when you don't follow the commandments of the LORD. When bad things happen, it's God who allows or even makes it happen! remember that.
So the prophet picks up the corpse, and buries it in his tomb. He then instructs his children that when he dies, he is to be buried next to the guy of God. He should feel kind of guilty as it was his lie that made the guy of God die.

That lie is very important:
15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
17 For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
The Man of God didn't deliberately disobey God, he was tricked into doing it. He genuinely thought God wanted him to go back with the false prophet and eat with him. Doesn't matter what your intentions are, or how sincerely you believe you're doing the right thing, if you do something God doesn't want you to, He'll kill you.

24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Sodomites! Can you imagine! I thank God all the time that I don't know any faggots or homers! God punishes people for even knowing nancy boys!

This is why I'm always shocked when people suggest that we should tolerate homerism, despite the masses of Biblical evidence clearly showing that passive tolerance of sodomy is far more dangerous than any so-called "passive smoking". For these queers to endanger everyone around them with their queerness is just selfish and rude. Do they want the terrorists to win?

1. From the split of the nations, there was only one king with a perfect heart (you know, like David's).
2. Baasha fulfilled promises, but then wasn't any better.
3. When God tells you not to eat bread in a place, don't do it, or more than likely a lion will kill you.

4. Living near fags is dangerous.
5. If you genuinely, sincerely believe you're doing God's will, He's still liable to kill you for disobeying Him anyway. FALSE CHRISTIANS BEWARE!
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
