Calvary Church is dedicated to doctrine, and we want you to experience the life change that comes from knowing God's word and applying it to your life.

So we explain the Bible verse by verse, every chapter, every book, this is expound.

Second Chronicles 34, and we're going to jump right in.

We are witnessing the death of a nation.

God had warned Solomon early on, back in chapter 9 of this book that if chapter seven and chapter nine if that if his

people turn away from him and cease to follow his commandments and his ordinances and be responsive

to the relationship he wanted with him. If they did that,

that God would uproot them from this land and take them out of the land and make them his people,

the children of Israel, Judah in particular, a byword among the nations. And that is how

the book will close out with the Babylonian captivity in Chapter 36. But in the meantime, there is a

spiritual movement afoot. As we open up chapter 34, we remember from last week there is a good

and godly king named King Josiah. King Josiah is the great-grandson of King Hezekiah.

Hezekiah was also an awesome guy who celebrated the

Passover. We saw a few weeks back. But his great-grandson, King Josiah, is presently the king.

He becomes king when he's eight years old. When he's 16, he begins to seek the Lord.

When he's 20 years old, he drives out the idols, breaks them down, demolishes all of the altars and the statues around Judah,

and then goes up north into different territories and does that as well.

Six years after that, when he is 26 years old, something happened.

Hilkeye the priest was cruising around in the temple one day and was amazed to find a Bible in church.

And it took him by surprise because they hadn't seen a copy of the scriptures for so long.

And so he went and he told the king, King Josiah.

I found a Bible in church. I found the law of God in the temple.
