2 Kings 22:1-20: What Happens When You Dust Off the Bible
Manage episode 493334307 series 2094168
Although Josiah’s father and grandfather were wicked idolaters, Josiah’s thirty-one-year reign is characterized by more faithfulness than even his great-grandfather Hezekiah. When Josiah begins to repair the temple in the eighteenth year of his reign, the book of the Law is found and read. Rather than keeping the Word of God at arm’s length, Josiah realizes that repentance is needed immediately. He turns to the LORD, and the prophetess Huldah reveals that exile will come upon Judah after Josiah has died in peace. The delay in God’s judgment does not prevent Josiah from taking faithful action in his own day.
Rev. David Boisclair, pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Kings 22:1-20.

"A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Kings. The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ.
Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: [email protected]
