In part two of the Smith's study on King Josiah, Craig and LaDonna continue to unpackage the reasons why this study into the lives of the kings of Israel and Judah. Along with the obvious of their leading God's people into syncretism if they were described by God as evil, or away from syncretistic behaviors when they were described by God as righteous, the Smiths also present the need for Indigenous believers today to be engaged in the political affairs of not just their tribes, but for the larger nations to whom we are citizens of as well. It's an important part of discipleship to engage in our civic duties. But in order to do so, we need to be knowledgable about the candidates and platforms on which they stand before casting a vote their way. Do the exhibit godliness or embrace evil by the platforms their party stands on? We can't respond in the old way we did before coming to Christ. We now must let God's Word guide us in whom we are to cast our votes towards. But also, the prophetic Scriptures (almost 1/3 of the whole Bible is prophetic), give us clues into when Jesus will come again, this time to rule and reign on earth. But most people, tribal or not, do not possess a biblical understanding of the times and seasons we are now in. So all these reasons help us as Indigenous people to have the right view on the role of human leaders God establishes to lead us and guide us. That's why this study into the kings of the Old Testament is so relevant to us today. May God use these dives into the Scriptures to equip us appropriately until Jesus comes again!
