For it is written “And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?”
“Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.”
I declare my power and authority over the enemy and all his weapons in the name of Jesus Christ by the power in His Blood!!! Remember satan has been defeated he is a defeated foe!!! It is finished!!!
Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
Luke 10:17-19
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
last post here – https://worriedmum.blog/2024/01/06/ezekiels-wheels-alchemy/
Ok so following on from my last post about alchemy and the creation of living things not created by God but first I found this in my Bible: “December 25 168BC Antiochus 5th offered a sow (pig/swine forbidden by God to be eaten by us because they eat anything and are full of parasites which harm our bodies!!!) upon a great alter and erected an alter to Jupiter (the abomination that made desolate from Daniel!!!) The temple worship (worship of the Living TRUE God) forbidden and the people compelled to eat swine’s flesh!!!” Yeah and remember that time of the year they were celebrating Saturnalia which was sacrifice of children and saturn is the black sun which is where the swastika came from it is a black sun and remember that in the book of Adam and Eve when the angels were speaking with Eve, she was like who are those two black angels, and one of the other angels said they were the sun and the moon who were not allowed to shine their light in the presence of God, so that explains the black sun!!! I have also done posts Blood and on Inanna –
So I want to start with Thursdays scripture of Hosea 4-8 as my last post was long enough and I didn’t want to add more but there are some things I want to point out from these chapters:
4:17 – Ephraim is joined to idols let him alone (this is why no one from Ephraim is sealed in Revelation he is the ox also who is left out of the faces of the cherubim in Ezekiel 41:18 from my last post.
5:4 – The spirit of whoredoms (the worship of idols – idolatry because it leads to witchcraft)
5:7 – He is talking to Ephraim, Israel and Judah in this verse: They have dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they have begotten STRANGE CHILDREN – Children not made by God but with the idols through alchemy maybe? The whole way through the OT there are warnings about sorcery and witchcraft not to do it and not to follow the way of the Heathen/Gentiles but to separate from them and their practices also this: Psalm 106:34 – They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them: (yeah and look at the state of the world overrun with evil, God always has a very good reason for everything He says and does!!!) Also it says “Now a month shall devour them with their portions” now the crescent moon is very significant in alchemy it is everywhere in their symbolism like between the horns of the ox, the sun is usually there too and plenty other symbolism! The month is the New Moon which is about to happen over the couple of days.
6:6 – For I desire MERCY and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings. So again He is telling us like He did in Isaiah and Jeremiah that He didn’t ask for sacrifice except the Passover Lamb who is Jesus Christ and that finished all sacrifice forever!!! Also when Noah came out the ark he built an alter and did a burnt-offering this was a gift to God (not sacrifice because sacrifice is for forgiveness of sins and if sacrifices are taking place then His people are sinning but the Blood of the Lamb is the price PAID in FULL!!!) for saving him and his family!!! Moses and the Leviticus law was written because of this: Psalm 106:32-33 – They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: 33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
So because Moses came down the mountain with the 10 Commandments and they were worshiping a golden calf (an Ox) his Spirit was provoked into giving a law that no man could ever keep only Jesus could do this which He did (He fulfilled the entire law of Moses living without blame or sin, we cannot do this because we were born from sin, hence why we need the Blood of Christ and why God tests us like refining silver, until He sees His face shinning on us, He sees His Son’s righteousness!!!) because God didn’t want them in the promised land because they were still practicing the ways of the Egyptians and while we are on that subject go look up the gods of Egypt all the half man/woman and half beast/animal gods and goddesses, I wonder where they came from maybe through alchemy? It was well practiced in Egypt and all this comes back to the host of heaven worship because they use the wandering stars for their elements for the alchemic process with Mercury the trickster and his caduceus being the stirrer of the pot, all the rest are: sun-gold, moon-silver, mars-iron, Jupiter-tin, venus-copper, saturn-lead. Also the fire symbol is a triangle pointing up this is masculine and water is a triangle pointing down the female now go look at the land they call Israel’s flag and what do you see??? This is the flag of their god which you will find at Amos 5:26 & Acts 7:43 and is basically Molech the god of child sacrifice or Jupiter who ate his own children and remember Saturn is Jupiter father!!! I also found this verse:
Ezekiel 21:21 – For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
This is the ESV which says a little more: For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shakes the arrows; he consults the teraphim; he looks at the liver.
So at the head of the two ways who is the goddess of crossroads? – “Hecate is a goddess in ancient Greek religion and mythology, most often shown holding a pair of torches, a key, or snakes, or accompanied by dogs, and in later periods depicted as three-formed or triple-bodied. She is variously associated with crossroads, entrance-ways, night, light, magic, witchcraft, the Moon, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, graves, ghosts, necromancy, and sorcery.” Also known as Diana, Artemis and is the twin brother of Apollo who carries a bow and arrows and is the punisher of mankind, ALL SUDDEN DEATHS were believed to be the effect of his arrows he is the son of Jupiter. In Babylon she is Ereshkigal – “Queen of the Great Earth” sometimes it is given as Ninkigal, lit. “Lady of the Great Earth” and apparently the sister of Inanna (but I would argue that all these gods/goddesses are one and the same androgyne god of the underworld or bottomless pit) and she was queen of the underworld deities, ruling over the category of so-called “transtigridian snake gods” (such as Ninazu, Tishpak, Ishtaran and the Elamite god Inshushinak, in Mesopotamia known almost exclusively in the afterlife context), while Nergal, who fulfilled analogous functions in the north in Sumerian times, had an entourage of minor war gods and disease demons instead. (Inanna is known as the “queen of heaven”!!!) In Hittite she was known as “sun goddess of the earth” and in Hurrian she is Allani, in Hattian Lelwani. Now I have researched all these goddesses/gods and it is fact they have a female/male persona every single one of them which goes back to the alchemy of NO GENDER just like the star of fake Israel the cosmic androgyne this is why the world is in such a fuckin mess with these subjects they come straight from the serpents mouth!!! Also Rhea is the same who is also Cybele the great mother of gods!!!
Now guess which god is associated with the liver in Alchemy?? Jupiter!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruspex
But what else is interesting is the Teraphim which the king of Babylon consulted which they say was a household god could this be a “homunculus” the little human like thing created by alchemy??? It could well be and the whole point of alchemy is the philosophers stone which is the creation of a being without God!!! This is where all the secret societies come in they are all teaching the same thing this forbidden knowledge which was actually created by God for the purpose of GOOD but they use this for evil!!! Remember the sacred sciences from the garden which were taught to Adam, then Cain and Seth!!! Cain then managed to build cities and brought in the first weights and measures and dividing the land!!! Now who helped him??? Well if we go back to what the keys of Solomon were which was symbols he used to control demons or unclean spirits (from the flood) they say he used them to build the temple which was built in 7 years and then you go and look at the ancient architecture of the buildings we still have standing and it is not hard to see that these buildings were not created by man!!! Also remember my post on Rosslyn Chapel??? https://worriedmum.blog/2023/05/08/rosslyn-chapel-scripture/
So would it be fair to say that the masons had help to build all these chapels and cathedrals??? We couldn’t even build these today with all the machinery and technology we have so yes they did have help!!! They have hidden the knowledge we were all meant to know about within their secret societies and they have used this for their own gain and benefit and they still are today!!! The definition of witchcraft is summoning demons and controlling them to do your will and also consulting them on future events like today’s mediums and most of them don’t even know this is what they are doing!!! There are a few instances of God says about people inquiring of the familiar spirits why don’t they enquire of their God who is ALIVE instead of inquiring of the DEAD!!! And remember when you go to a medium these spirits are NOT your relatives but they have studied you your entire life and know almost everything about you and your family, and make no mistake you are opening doors to these demons by doing this and you are pissing God off at the same time so stay away from them!!!
Now lets get back to Hosea 6 in which He is saying they have transgressed His Covenant, Gilead is a city of them who work iniquity and polluted with blood, they murder by consent and He had seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel which is the whoredoms of Ephraim and has defiled Israel, but He also says He has set a harvest for Judah when He returns the captivity of His people which is releasing us from the enemy!!!
Chapter 7 is still His response and He starts by saying that they commit falsehood and He remembers all their wickedness (He sees, hears and knows everything so do you think these evil people will get away with their shite? Nope if He is going to do the things He said to His own people then the Heathen/Gentiles would be very silly to think they will get away with anything!!!) He then goes on to say that Ephraim has mixed himself among the people (the beings not created by God maybe? And the reason He told Israel not to take a wife from the Heathen/Gentiles which Cain did and Esau, also the reason God told them to destroy certain nations/races from Psalm 106 above!!!) The rest of this chapter is exactly where we are today because of our sins and disobedience scattered among the Heathen, swallowed up by them just like it says at the beginning of chapter 8 – The eagle in this chapter is the destroyer because we have transgressed His covenant therefore the punisher gets to punish!!! He also says they have set up kings but not by Him and princes that He knew not so our entire royal BS family is NOT OF HIM so not the bloodline of King David which is the 7th Covenant!!! So we are seeing from this chapter that our actions always have consequences from God we allow ourselves to be punished by the punisher when we disobey God and His Commandments because this is the full law!!! The rest of the book of Hosea continues in the same way!!! Go read them!!!
So on Friday He took me to Isaiah 1 and this jumped out at verses – (keeping on the same subject as above with the unclean spirits and beings created not of God)
Isaiah 1:2-4 – Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. 3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
Seed of evildoers links to Isaiah 57:3-5 – But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore. 4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood. 5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the cliffs of the rocks?
Opening your mouth and sticking out the tongue, how many celebrities have you seen doing this pose??? Too many!!! Sons of the sorceress now could that be a reference to alchemy???
Then we have yesterday Isaiah 52:11 – Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.
We are the vessels of the Lord, our bodies are His temple 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 & 6:19-20!!! This verse links to 2 Corinthians 6:17 – Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Revelation 18:4 – And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. (This is talking about Babylon the whore with the red apparel and interestingly every single celebrity at some point wears a red dress or red shoes and this seems to be connected with the Cherub and their burning coals of fire also the red is for menstrual blood and so symbolic of sacrifice too, they have a thing about menstrual blood which we are warned about in Leviticus women are unclean for 7 days during this time!!! All ancient paintings of Jesus Christ which is actually their antichrist because of the 2nd Commandment we are not to make images, paintings or physical things of anything on the earth, below the earth or in the Heavens these things lead us away from God!!! Anyway all these painting have so much alchemic symbolism in them starting with the Knights templars or temple of Solomon who created Rosicrucian’s who created the Jesuits who created Catholicism and Islam and today’s freemasons and most other secret societies!!! These are the ones who control everything through these illuminati families who may I add only marry each other and people in their families, they say they carry the bloodline of Jesus because he had children but if that were the case then God would have told us this in scripture!!! Jesus made a very bad bloodline pure by cleansing it!!! He did have brothers but remember God was His Father not a mortal man!!! The Rosicrucian’s (they created the cross everyone uses which is not correct as this cross came about the same time as the Rosicrucian’s in the 1400’s) have the symbol of the swan (under the freemasons square and compass) which has pierced itself to feed it’s young with it’s own blood and this as well as the rose pops up time and again as well as other symbolism connected with the others like freemasons!!! Crosses should not be worn or pictures and painting of Jesus hung up anywhere because we have NO IDEA what He looked like except tiny pieces of information from the Bible we could and probably are worshipping the antichrist through all these things!!!
So Jezebel was a Phoenician princess a Zidonian from Tyre she had at her table 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Astarte and she was full of witchcraft and whoredoms hence why she was eaten by dogs!!!
Getting back to Isaiah 54:15 – Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
So who are they gathering together with if it is not with God???
So I asked Him who is the sorceress??? Well this morning He took me to Kings which is when Josiah becomes King (also 2 Chronicles 34) and He took away all the idolatry out the land, everything he destroyed and he was the only King to do this, all the rest left things which led back to idol worship, I will put it below but first let’s get into my notes on this:
23:5 – Sun, moon, Baal, planets (the wandering stars they use in alchemy Mercury’s caduceus mixes everything he is in almost all the paintings too!!!) and the host of heaven which means all of it!!!
The grove was built for the goddess Ishtar/Aphrodite/Venus/Astarte/Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians the Phoenician goddess – the queen of Heaven.
Aphrodite had many lovers (sexual fornication!!!) including her husband Vulcan, Mars, Dionysus, Mercury, Poseidon who is Neptune and two mortals Anchises and Adonis!!! She had the power dove or the SWAN (from above that feeds it’s young with it’s blood kinda like alchemy on making a little being they were fed on blood this is NOT the same as the Blood of Jesus and possibly one of the reasons God had to come Himself and be a sacrifice, because everything was messed up and filthy with blood, child sacrifice and all these abominations they were doing!!! We are clothed with His Blood SPIRITUALLY not physically!!! But this is what they do to trick people and lead them astray keep it as close to the truth as you can and hope no one with spiritual eyes can see it to point it out to others!!! Also the swallow and the iynx bird – IYNX was the nymph inventress of a magical love-charm known as the iynx–a spinning wheel with a wryneck bird attached. Iynx used her enchantments to make Zeus fall in love with her or, some say, with the nymph Io. Hera was enraged and transformed her into a wryneck bird. Eastern worship was introduced by the Pheonicains is Astarte or Ashtoreth!!! I am going to add this in here too because I think we overlook the origins of where all this worshipping the host of heaven came from before the Egyptians it started with the tower of Babel or Babylon and was founded by Nimrod and his wife Semiramis they served Baal or Belus and Semiramis was an Assyrian monarch of Nineveh. The Babylonians were the Chaldeans and their religion was Sabaeism – Sabeans mentioned in the Quran a few times they believe John the Baptist was more important than Jesus Christ mostly in Islam also the alchemy book for creating a homunculus came from Islam it was written in Arabic!!! Sabaeism is the WORSHIP OF THE HEAVENLY BODIES that isn’t working out well for Mecca right now is it??? They are being hit with every kind of weather and still they are all walking around their fallen angel stone or black sun or black cube of saturn!!! The priests formed a caste which is pure unmixed lineage and social class system (royals and the unelected arseholes who think they rule this world) and cultivated science (alchemy is a science which all the rest of the sciences come from it is the root of science!!!) and astronomy which was one of the sacred sciences not astrology this is BS lies by demons!!! They introduced the weights and measures that the Greeks and Romans used and still do, just like Cain!!!
So getting back to 2 Kings 23:10 – Josiah defiled Topheth in the valley of the sons of Hinnom where they sacrificed their children to Molech.
23:13-14 – And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile. 14 And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
23:24-25 – Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord. 25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
And finally we have at verse 35 – And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaohnechoh.
So the Egyptians were taxing everyone back in those days too!!! Fancy that!!! So we have a complete list of all the abominations in this chapter of Kings and in 2 Chronicles 34 also the same but maybe with a few more details added in because Chronicles is just an extension of Kings!!!
Leviticus 19:26, 31 – Ye shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. 31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 20:27 – A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
Go read the whole chapter of Leviticus 26 – One of the most scary of the entire Bible!!!
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 – There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
1 Samuel 15:23 – For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Jeremiah 8:1-4 – At that time, saith the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves: 2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth. 3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the Lord of hosts.
Isaiah 47 – Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. 2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. 3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. 4 As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. 6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. 7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. 8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: 9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. 10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. 11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. 12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. 13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. 14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. 15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander everyone to his quarter; none shall save thee.
Acts 19:19 ESV – And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Revelation 18:23 – And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Revelation 21:8 ESV – But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
2 Kings 23 KJV
And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the Lord.
3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.
5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
6 And he brought out the grove from the house of the Lord, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.
7 And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
8 And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
11 And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14 And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
16 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
17 Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel.
18 And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19 And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
20 And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
22 Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the Lord in Jerusalem.
24 Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord.
25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
26 Notwithstanding the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
27 And the Lord said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
30 And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
