Death is a blessing? – 2 Kings 2

8th Year 12-14 Edition 3 –II Kings 21 l The Feast l Death is a blessing!  – 2 Kings 22        Feb 7, 2013 - 2 Kings 22 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we are prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 22.  In deference to what we have been reading in the second book of kings, Josiah the king of Judah is a Godly man.   Because he is right with the Lord God, he is rewarded with death before the wicked reap what they have sewn; “19 because your heart was penitent, and you humbled yourself before the Lord, when you heard how I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares the Lord. 20 Therefore, behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not see all the disaster that I will bring upon this place.’” And they brought back word to the king.“  2nd Kings 22:19-20 English - Standard Version (ESV).   I suppose there were many there who said; “Why has God taken him, it is unfair he was a Godly man?”  God alone knows everything and death is a blessing that allows some to avoid the pain in an ungodly world.  Remember God created us in his image eternal beings.  Death was given to man as a blessing so he could escape an ungodly eternity here separated from him.  “O you who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 97:10 ESV.   God rewards his people with death in this temporary world.  Then gives them eternal life in in His kingdom.  Keep the first thing first!  That is salvation through the blood of the Lamb.  Remember we are looking to God however, we don’t understand everything He has in store for us.  We have seen this mercy before.
