Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermon, Delivered at Westfield, November 18th, 1817, at the Funeral of Maj. Gen. William Shepard, Aged Eighty: Containing Brief Sketches of His Life And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. The history of God´s ancient covenant people furnishes striking proofs, that the hearts of men are strongly inclined to depart from the right ways of the Lord. God gave them statutes which were good; but they quickly corrupted and forsook his ordinances, and worshipped the gods of the heathen. Deaf to warnings and mad upon their idols, they proceeded from evil to evil. The sacred edifice on Mount Zion, where the God of Israel had placed his name, was almost deserted. Their polluted hearts loathed those holy rites which God had instituted. Delighted with the abominations of the heathen, they builded altars for Baalim and worshipped the hosts of heaven. All sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil doers, children that are corrupters! They have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. But while the mind is pained in contemplating their repeated apostacies, we admire the patience and long suffering of God. The measure of their iniquity was not yet full, and before he gave them over to bondage and the sword, he raised up Josiah to sit upon the throne, and inspired him with holy zeal to attempt the work of reformation. The history of this godly king you may read in the context, and in the parallel records, in the second book of the Kings. He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father. At the age of 20, he began to remove, from the land of Judah, the monuments of idolatry. Beginning at Jerusalem, he proceeded through all the cities, demolishing the high places, and breaking down the graven and moulten images. Having removed the altars which had been consecrated to idols, he sat himself to repair the house of the Lord his God.
