-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.

A beautiful reflection on the historic decline of paganism and the rise of monotheism, Douglas. I'll have to check out Part I. Love, Carolyn
