Uzziah the King of Israel and the warning of pride
The essay recalls King Uzziah, a mighty builder and soldier, who fell to pride after centuries of blameless rule. It contrasts his public virtue with a leprous fate, warning that moral collapse often comes in mature years and that faithful ministers correct rulers before divine judgment. The piece links Uzziah’s era to present calls for nation at readiness and prayerful detachment.
