Message to Kings - A Biblical History of Man

After King Josiah conducts his revival in Judah, geopolitical circumstances invite Josiah to expand his policies and revival into Northern Israel.

His actions at Bethel are prophetic and speak to a potential Biblical theory on the history of civilizations. 2 Kings 22:15-25 1 King...

Josiah became king at the age of eight. In his sixteenth year, he began to encounter God and around his twenty-sixth year, something overtakes him.

His actions personify the Zeal of the Lord. 2 Kings 22 2 Kings 23:1-14 Matthew 12:29 www.messagetokings.com

The calling of the prophet Jeremiah parallels the calling of the prophet Samuel, due to their age, the relational aspect and the immediacy of the prophecies.

It's these words that set apart his calling and the callings of men and women of God. Je...
