Today's verse is 2 Kings 22:20
Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
If we were to read the next chapter, we will find that King Josiah died as the result of a wound recieved in a battle that he had no business starting. This had troubled me, for can that be counted as having died in peace as Huldah, who is called a prophetess, proclaimed God had said. But compare the words of Jeremiah, whose ministry had begun five years before, had said of the same subject, . . . Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them . . . Yet they obeyed not . . . With the God that created Heaven and Earth, and all that in them is, there is almost always an opportunity to Repent, Jeremiah gave them that chance, Huldah basically said that their Repentance would be in vain, whereas Jeremiah proclaimed that their repentance was false. Therefore, even today, turn to God with a True Heart, that whatever else may happen, you will escape the wrath of God to come. Amen.
To God be the Glory
