He inherits a nation that is, more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed (2 Kings 21:9) B. Jerusalem was filled with blood from one end to the other (2 Kings 21:16) C. The people were completely given over to idolatry (2 Kings 21:2-7,21)

7 During the eight year of his reign (16 years old), Josiah would begin to seek the God of his father David (2 Chronicles 34:3) During the twelfth year of his reign (20 years old), Josiah began to cleanse the land of idolatrous objects (2 Chronicles 34:3-7) More extensive than that of Hezekiah (2 Kings 18:4; 2 Chronicles 29:3-36) Extended the purge into the territory of fallen Israel (2 Chronicles 34:6-7) Personally supervised destruction of alters and images (2 Chronicles 34:2-7)

8 During the 18 th year of his reign (26 years old), Josiah ordered that the Temple be repaired.

10 II. SOMEBODY WAS WILLING TO LISTEN AND OBEY As for the message that you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we are not going to listen to you! But rather, we will certainly carry out every word that has proceeded from our mouths, by burning sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, just as we ourselves, our fathers, our kings and our princes did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food and were well off and saw no misfortune Jeremiah 44:15-17 Take care what you listen to Mark 4:24 Take care how you listen.. Luke 8:18

11 III. ATTITUDE TOWARD THE WORD OF GOD A. Acceptance 1. As the words of God 2. As applicable for him and his generation B. Proper Priorities 1.

The desire to share (2 Kings 23:1-3)
