Top Left: Icon of the Prophet Isaiah Top Right: Icon of the Prophet Jeremiah Bottom: The Death of King Josiah

The person responsible for seven books of the Bible […] deliberately designed his history of the people to culminate in [King] Josiah. Josiah was not just good, and he was not just important. In the writer's picture, Josiah, in many ways, was someone to be compared to Moses himself. [... T]he Deuteronomistic historian paints Josiah in special colors - Mosaic colors. He is the culmination of that which began with Moses. His actions in his day emulate Moses' actions in his own day. He is the hope that the covenant that began with Moses will be fulfilled as never before. [...] All of the Deuteronomist's major themes —fidelity, torah, centralization, Davidic covenant— culminated in Josiah. And then Josiah died from an Egyptian arrow.

- Richard Elliot Friedman (Who Wrote the Bible?, pages 94-95, 97, 116). Bolded emphases added.

Psalm 72 gives a description of the perfect king of Israel. He would be someone who was filled with wisdom like Solomon, as well as being a great warrior who could enlarge the boundaries of Israel from sea to sea, one of David's accomplishments. He would also guarantee justice in the land, especially to the poor. [...] None of the kings of Israel would fulfill all of these expectations. Every time that the prophets spoke of a king whom they hoped would finally do the will of the LORD, they ended up being disillusioned. Thus, they began to speak about an anointed one in the future who would be unlike all the other kings of Israel.

- Rev. Jude Winkler, O.F.M. Conv.'s commentary on Psalm 72

In any case, we should still note that the years between 722 and 587 were not unceasingly bleak. These were times of powerful persons and great events, of the rise and fall of great empires. This period included times of hope and vision, especially, it appears, during Hezekiah's and Josiah's reigns. These times produced an Isaiah, a Jeremiah, and an Ezekiel. Precisely in this age of empires in conflict, of rebellions, of violence, and of cruelty, a man conceived of an era when They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning-hooks. A nation will not raise a sword against a nation, and they will not learn war anymore.

Spiritual Spring Cleaning (2 Chronicles 29:1-11, 16-19)

This task of spiritual Spring cleaning and heart purification is hard and courageous work. 

Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old and was king in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother was Abijah daughter of Zechariah. In God’s opinion he was a good king; he kept to the standards of his ancestor David. In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah, having first repaired the doors of The Temple of God, threw them open to the public. He assembled the…

The Assyrian army is approaching Jerusalem and threatening the kingdom of Judah. King Hezekiah has pleaded with the Lord to save them and he has asked Isaiah for a word from the Lord. Here is what happened! Yeah God! Isaiah 37:7 was God’s answer through Isaiah: “Listen! When he hears a certain report, I will make him want to return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down with the…

The Folly of Misplaced Trust

1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt; 3 speak, and say, Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you,     Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies     in the midst of his streams, that says, ‘My Nile is my…

[ID: A drawing of Jonathan Sims from the Magnus Archives surrounded by various hands. Jon is a thin Pakistani person with medium brown skin covered in various scars. They have curly black hair with grey streaks, dark brown eyes, and is wearing a green off the shoulder dress. Behind his head is a glitchy swamp green halo. Covering his left eye and surround his right are the hands of Jonah Magnus with open eyes on the backs and wearing a dark green suit. Jon has an expression of frozen horror on their face. Surrounding Jon are the hands of various avatars from the podcast holding items. Clockwise from the top right is Melanie, a dark brown hand covered in blood, wearing black jewelry and holding a bullet. Peter, a wrinkled white hand in a dark blue jacket holding the boatswain's whistle. Jared, with extra fingers and muscle showing holding a rib bone. Annabelle, a dark brown hand holding the web lighter giving off a purple flame. Hezekiah, a tan hand covered in dirt holding a rusty lock. Nikola, a jointed mannequin hand holding an apple filled with teeth. The background is a dark swampy green with pale lights behind each hand and Jon's head. End ID/]
