“And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.”
2 Kings 23:7 KJV
He tore out the rooms of the male sacred prostitutes that had been set up in The Temple of God; women also used these rooms for weavings for Asherah. Josiah was young when he became king but he was confronted with a decadent society, where the people of God had lost their moral bearings and were in decline. He, with the help of the high priest and his officials, restored the sanctity of the temple and bringing back the words of the book of the covenant. However, the land was defiled as were the people and they had to face the consequences of dispersion and exile, which came upon them in the following years. When we cross the boundaries of what God has ordained from the beginning, society and culture will face a breakdown. The decline in our times of the confusion of gender identity, of what marriage means, the mental health issues, hate crimes (the list goes on) - is the sign that society is going through a drastic decline. Scripture tells us that in the last days perilous times will come. Let’s prepare ourselves to be more in the Word, led by the Spirit, so we overcome victoriously the troubled times coming upon this world. It’s only by the Blood of the Lamb of God. Amen!
