“And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.”
2 Chronicles 23:21 KJV
This was a time of restoration in Judah as the temple and the land was corrupted all over by ungodly man-made images. There was cleansing as the unclean was removed. Everybody celebrated the event. And the city was safe and undisturbed—Athaliah had been killed; no more Athaliah terror. When God created, He blessed day seven and made it special-an open time for pause and restoration, a sacred zone of Sabbath-keeping, because God rested from all the work He had done in creation that day. The children of Israel went far away from God. But God had the marvellous plan of sending His Son Jesus to bring the perfect restoration through His sacrifice. Jesus Christ Who descended is also the One Who ascended above the heights of heaven, in order to begin the restoration and fulfillment of all things. Our part is to rejoice, and aim for restoration by comforting one another, agreeing with one another, living in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with us. Let’s bow down and worship Him for He is worthy. Amen!
