As we come now in our study of 2 Kings 5, we are introduced to Naaman, a captain of the Syrian Army, an area known as Aram. We are told that Naaman was a great man with the king of Aram. He was highly respected, a valiant warrior, and he was even used of the Lord when God wanted to give a victory to Aram, no doubt because of Israel's hard heart.
However, in spite of the fact that Naaman was such a highly respected man, he was a leper. He was highly successful; no doubt he was a hard worker, self-assured, self disciplined, self motivated, and self sacrificing. But all of that could not help him. He had leprosy and it was fatal.
Leprosy was a debilitating disease that was greatly feared in all cultures and civilizations. Leprosy was incurable at that time, and has been incurable throughout the centuries. With modern medicines, the disease can be completely halted, but the devastating effects cannot be reversed. Today there are less than 100 cases reported in the US each year, but there are 100,000’s of cases reported every year throughout the world, 60% of which are in India.
Today leprosy is called Hansen’s disease because in 1873 a Norwegian doctor by the name of Hansen discovered that leprosy was caused by a bacterium. This bacterium is exceptionally resistant to antibiotic treatment and in fact by the 1960s, the world’s only known anti-leprosy drug became virtually useless. Only by utilizing a powerful multi-drug antibiotic therapy can leprosy be effectively treated today. And that treatment may take 2-3 years to complete.
In the Old Testament, leprosy came to represent sin. There was no cure, it was progressive in nature, it was contagious, and it was fatal. It's interesting to note that God made a provision in the Law of Moses for what a priest should do if a man was ever healed of leprosy. But leprosy was incurable. In fact, the only person in the entire Old Testament that was ever cleansed of leprosy was Naaman and he wasn't a Hebrew, he was Syrian.
This is an amazing story and filled with personal application and spiritual significance because we see the person and work of Jesus Christ very powerfully in this story. Being cleansed of leprosy is a picture of the salvation that we have in Christ and the picture here of a Gentile being the only leper cleansed is important as well.
