• How are we to “inquire of Jehovah” regarding what we are to do, knowing that according to this Word we have incurred His displeasure? The prophet alone, the representative of the Spirit of Christ (1 Pet. 1:11), can interpret it for us. Josiah does not turn to Shaphan the scribe for this, or even to Hilkijah the high priest; he seeks to be put into direct relationship with the Word. (“Josiah and the Second Revival: 2 Kings 22” by H.L. Rossier)
