Our Temple

I have really been searching out something in my Bible. I was reading 2 Kings and came across Hezekiah. Hezekiah was only one in a long line of kings in Israel. He was one of the few, however, that followed God. Over the years, every idol had been brought into Israel. There was even an altar to burn children. God had long told the Israelites that there were to be no other gods that they worshiped. God cleaned Israel out, the Israelites filled it back up with other gods. 

Hezekiah systematically went throughout the land and destroyed all other gods. Followed the True God and though it didn't remove the consequences of the past, God was with the Israelites through Hezekiah's lifetime. 

God showed me that the Israelites were a body. God cleansed the body of disease and no sooner had He cleaned it out then some king would start bringing the disease back in. When a king allowed God to rule the kingdom, while He did not remove the consequences of the past, he healed the present and the future. When God cleanses the body with His Son, through His Word, it is our responsibility to keep the body strong and flee from all evil. He gives us the means to do this, we need to choose to use the Word, Prayer, Fellowship, etc... to keep the body clean, sanctified for Him. 

Praise God!
