I finished reading II Kings in the Bible this morning. It was the part about when the Kingdom of Judah transitioned from evil kings to one of the greatest good kings, Josiah, then back to more evil kings which led to their captivity in Babylon. It is interesting that Judah had been so evil that even when Josiah spent his reign destroying evil and upholding good, God told him, through his prophets that Josiah would be fine in his time, but that judgment would come to Judah after he was gone. There certainly seemed to be some analogies to our life here in the United States, not to mention Europe and the rest of the world. We will soon have a new president here, but even if we get a good one, it feels like it is too little too late. Is my generation as evil as those evil generations and kings in Judah and Israel described in Kings and Chronicles in the Bible? It probably is.
