Good news ? IBB kbgn or budae Wicked Ahaz rebelled against God. turned to idolatry, cut up the sacred vessels of the temple, and "(hut up the doort of the house of the Lord." indicating that all relations with God were severed. KXVIVAL nChnatefa>lt:M,l? Touched deeply and grieved tremendously by the sinful actions of his wicked father, upon ascending the throne at the age of twenty-five, Hezekiah dedicated himself to the task of arresting the frightful degeneration of his nation, and leading his people into the right relationship with God and persuading them to obey Him. Outraged by the fact that the temple had fallen into such a shocking and deplorable condition, Hezekiah opened the doors thereof and repaired them by replacing the gold and other metals which his father had stripped from them. He renovated the temple, removing therefrom all of the idolatrous paraphernalia and the filth found therein. Hezekiah then called in the priests and the levites for the purpose of in structing them what to do. Because of his grave con cern about the prevailing shameful conditions, Hezekiah's instructions to these religious leaders were very specific, and it required sixteen days for them to complete their assignment. Giving reform efforts priority in his administration im pressed his subjects favorably. Pointing out the fact that the failure of the people to wor ship God and their wicked conduct had invited the divine wrath upon them, Hezekiah exhorted the religious leaders to remember that their first - responsibility was to God. Hezekiah declared his in tention to "Make a covenant with the Lord God of Isreal. He wanted to renew the covenant which God and His people had made previously. His greatest -desire was for the will of God to be done in his life and in the lives of the poeple over whom he reigned. Hezekiah knew that God's children who yielded their wills to His will, and spent their time and strength in His service, would enjoy the assurance of the divine presence and blessings, so he challenged the spiritual leaders to fulfill their mission. REJOICING n Chronicles 30: 23-27 Without delay Hezekiah < urged the people of Israel and Judah to make the necessary l preparations for their par ticipation in the proper ob- I servance of the precious bat neglected Feast of the Pasaover. Upon the removal of the altars to the maamade gods, the sincere acknowledgement of sin, the request for forgiveness and cleansing, and the making of offerings to God, there was widespread rejoicing on the part of the religious leaders and the people.
