II
Kings 22 – Josiah’s Good Reign
Josiah
began to reign when he was eight years old and reigned for thirty-one years. He
was one of the best kings who reigned after Solomon. He led a movement that
resulted in the greatest revival these people ever had after David and Solomon.
He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. The revival began with
him.
Josiah
had the people repair the temple. In the temple they found the lost Bible. They
found the Word of God and put it back in their lives. The Word of God is the
only weapon we have against Satan. A return to the Bible must be the beginning
of a revival.
When
Josiah heard the Word of God for the first time, he tore his clothes as an
expression of deep emotion. Without the Word of God, they did not realize how
far they had strayed from God’s law. Josiah was frightened because he knew they
deserved God’s judgment. Real revival does not come unless there is true
repentance.
Through
Huldah, the prophetess God reveals his grace to Josiah. He says, “I have heard
thee. Therefore, I will gather you unto your fathers, and you shall be gathered
into your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the evil which I will
bring upon this place.”
