The Narrative today really highlights that the culture of idolatry in Judah was really a culture imposed upon the people from the top down. That it was all the people (all: the whole amount, quantity, or extent of, the whole number or sum of – Webster’s) who rejoiced when Athaliah was deposed from ruling over them; who tore down the altars to Baal; reveals that the kingdom groaned under their enforced separation from the house of David and his governance, and from YHVH and His worship. Far from being archaic and irrelevant, this ancient history has much to say to us today.

Our lives in the Lord could be a grand adventure, if we would let it. It begins with taking the first step of faith, in obedience to the Holy Spirit, out of our comfort zone, trusting in Him that when we set our foot down, the Lord will be there with a plan, ready to show us the next step.
