In progress =)

Tonight I want to share on my blog what I have learned about last night’s message from the Bible in the Book of 2 Chronicles 34:14-33 ‘The Book of the Law Found’(that had been given through Moses) that was found by Hilkiah then he gave it to Shaphan. Then Shaphan took the book to the king (King Josiah) and reported to him.

Contemplating on the setting of the story, the book was finally given to the reigning king of Jerusalem that time and he was King Josiah. A king who did what was right in the eyes of the Lord (2 Chronicles 34:2). Knowing the personality of King Josiah, he was filled with love and respect to God just like his father David.

When the king heard the words of the law, he tore his robes (meaning as a sign of grief or sadness) 2 Chronicles 34:19. Wow, it’s really a great loss! In the succeeding passage, “Great is the Lord’s anger that is poured out on us because our fathers have NOT kept the word of the Lord, they have not acted in accordance with all that is written in the book.” 2 Chronicles 34:21.

Knowing the personality of the King Josiah, I believed that the Book of the Law was kept properly after it was found; the exciting journey of reading the Bible onwards is to know whether it was lost again or stolen as some people claimed it was sold, bought and translated.
