2Ch 34:1-3, Josiah was eight years old when he became king, … And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of his father David; HE DID NOT TURN ASIDE TO THE RIGHT HAND OR TO THE LEFT…. while he was still young, HE BEGAN TO SEEK THE GOD OF HIS FATHER DAVID; and in the twelfth year HE BEGAN TO PURGE JUDAH
A Prophesied coming king by name of Josiah
1Ki 13:2, …Thus says the LORD: ‘BEHOLD, A CHILD, JOSIAH BY NAME, SHALL BE BORN TO THE HOUSE OF DAVID…
Josiah cleansed the land of Judah and Israel from their abominations, Idols, alters, he also burned the wicked priest of Baal! Josiah also repaired the house of the LORD!
2Ch 34:14, Now when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest FOUND THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF THE LORD GIVEN BY MOSES.
THEY LOST THE BOOK OF THE LAW IN THE HOUSE OF GOD? There are many churches today that teach the wisdom of men rather than the word of GOD! They are motivational speakers who like to tickle your ear and make you feel good, but in reality the word of GOD is lost in those churches!
2Ti 4:3-4, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
They read the book in front of king Josiah!
2Ch 34:19, Thus it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his clothes.
For years they lived their lives without the word of GOD, yet when they read it Josiah knew the coming judgement on the land of Israel! SO MANY PEOPLE TODAY LIVES IN IGNORANCE OF HIS WORD. THEY CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS OR BELIEVERS YET THEY LIVE FOR THEIR OWN PLEASURES; NOT REALIZING JUDGEMENT IS COMING TO THE WORLD, AND IT’S NEAR!
1Co 15:34, AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND DO NOT SIN; FOR SOME DO NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. I SPEAK THIS TO YOUR SHAME.
