Prelude

In the days of Jeroboam, an unnamed man of God from Judah prophesies the birth of Josiah, and his campaign to cleanse the land. 1 Kings 13

Four hundred years later, that prophecy is fulfilled. 2 Chronicles 34

The book of the law is found

In the 18th year of Josiah’s reign, the book of the law is rediscovered while repairing the temple. Josiah sees the awful wicknedness of the nation and humbles himself before the LORD. The prophetess Huldah proclaims the decree of God: the nation will be conquered by foreigners according to the curses written in the law.
2 Chronicles 34:24

But - there can still be blessing under that rule if they repent and submit to their punishment. Or destruction of Jerusalem if they continue to rebel.
