Two evil kings are followed by Josiah – the final righteous king before the exile.  Note:

• Influence and Consequences – Manasseh led the people of Judah astray into much evil, and God’s judgment was coming. Do you influence people towards God or away from him?  To do what is right or wrong?  Toward blessing or judgment?
• Repentance – Josiah reads the Book of the Law and truly repents. He humbles himself, rips his clothes, and weeps over their past sin.  Then he moves in the right direction – he cleanses the temple from all the instruments of idolatry, destroys the high places, rids the land of mediums and idols, and much more.  When confronted with sin – do you seriously repent like this?
