-that Place That Should Not Be-(Part 2)
(The Heart of the Young King)
and I remembered how that young King Josiah
went out to those places where the previous kings of Judah
had allowed and promoted the raising of idols
and other sorts of abominable worship
Having taken place from the time of
Solomon, son of David.
By this,
over the years,
the people of the One True God
were willingly led astray
and prostrated their hearts
before those things
which exalted themselves against God
and provoked Him.
Now,
centuries later,
Young Josiah in His eighth year
began to seek the Lord
and do that which was right
so that by his eighteenth year,
with a zealous heart,
he began to have removed from all Israel and Judah
all manner of abominations from out of the land
before the Lord His God
and return the hearts of his people
back to the Lord their God
(as the returning of the wayward sheep of God's pasture)
and times of rejoicing.
