The Life and Times of Josiah

"Two thousand five hundred years have rolled away since King Josiah lived and reigned; but his history is bursting with instruction, which can never lose its freshness nor its power. The moment at which he ascended the throne of his fathers was one of peculiar gloom and heaviness. The tide of corruption, swollen by many a tributary stream, had risen to the highest point; the sword of judgment, long held back in divine patience and long-suffering, was about to fall in terrible severity."

If that rising tide of corruption sounds suspiciously like the day in which we live, then perhaps The Life and Times of Josiah contains vital instruction for us as well.
