The lesson reviews 2 Kings chapters 22 and 23 with the golden text from Matthew 4 10 emphasizing worship of the Lord alone. It highlights prophetic reform under Josiah and devotion to God as central themes.
A preacher recounts an Indian king visiting England learning that true greatness lies beyond ships and parliaments. He contrasts this with Josiah’s 650 B C reform in Judah, restoring the temple, discovering the Book of the Law, and sealing a covenant with God. The piece asks what the modern New Deal lacks.
The speaker warns that without spiritual certainty and communal well being alongside material wealth and prosperity society risks becoming like ancient Jerusalem with sun-altars on rooftops and a temple filled with rubbish.
The account notes Josiah at eight when he began to reign and his thirty one year rule in Jerusalem. Hilkiah finds the law in the Lord’s house and Shaphan reads it. The king convocates elders and all people to covenant with the Lord and observe the words of the book. Passover is commanded to be kept as written in the covenant.
