Sure, here are 12 quotes from the transcript that align with the key takeaways:
"Josiah's dad, King Amon, takes the throne, and instead of being like what his father Manasseh was like nearer the end of his life, he chose to follow the earlier example. Thus he was ordained. Then he was ordained. His father, King Amon, was considered evil in the eyes of the Lord. Not much is said about his two years in either Kings or Chronicles." [00:10:47] (25 seconds)
"significant turmoil has occurred in judah and he emerges from it as king but before we read anything about him the author commonly considered to be the old testament prophet ezra of the book of chronicles sets us up to expect great things from josiah when he not only says he did what was right in the eyes of the lord and followed the in the ways of his father david which was a sign that he's this is a good king but he adds not turning to the right or to the left now if that line sounds familiar to you it's probably because you are remembering that it is found shortly after the ten commandments in judah and then again in joshua one it's a line directly from god to moses and then from god to joshua and it's a shorthand version of fully following the law" [00:11:34] (72 seconds)
"now this is something that josiah would have initially struggled with as they seem to have lost the book of the law and that is found and is taken to and is written in the book of the law read for him in his 18th year of reigning we read he began to seek the god of his father david when he was 16 and in his eighth year of his reign then when he was 20 and in the 12th year of his reign he begins to eradicate false worship and false gods from judah tearing down the altars for the baths the Asherah poles and the idols he cuts to pieces the incense altars he mutually desecrates the altars and the graves of the priests who had sacrificed them he does everything to try and rid this false worship does this in Judah and in Jerusalem and then takes this further by going into the area of four of the northern tribes and does similar things there too" [00:12:47] (76 seconds)
"as a little side note here a subtle difference between kings and chronicles versions of king Josiah's time is that in three different ways Ezra highlights that a remnant of Israel have become a connected with Judah at least during Jessica's time and this is a mutually desired relationship and when talking about the great things that Josiah did in the 12th year of his reign as Hall lights that this extended to include the towns of Manasseh airframe and Simeon as far as naphtali and the ruins around them when talking about the money collected for the rebuilt build of the temple." [00:14:04] (51 seconds)
"when King Josiah hears what's written in the book of the law he does not respond with a I didn't know it's not my fault he does not choose to attempt to be a victim he has an inspirational openness to hearing and responding to a huge rebuke he hears the words he comprehends how far he and God's people People have strayed from where they should be." [00:18:58] (45 seconds)
"The tearing of his robes was a classical act of repentance. It's not part of our modern culture. But the act of tearing one's garments could be done in the scriptures for at least four different reasons. There's a bit of overlap with them, but it's good to actually just be reminded of what they were." [00:19:56] (25 seconds)
"Anger is the first one. You probably remember this one from Easter. The high priest tore his clothes when Jesus claimed during the trial to be the son of God. The second one is devastation. When the kingdom of Israel split during King Rehoboam's reign, the elders and the people tore their clothes because of the gravity of the situation." [00:20:21] (28 seconds)
"And from the context, you can normally pick up which of the four is at play. And clearly, King Josiah is overwhelmed by the level of ongoing and generationally entrenched sin that has been occurring in Judah. He knows they have not loved the Lord their God with all their heart and with all their soul and with all their strength." [00:21:33] (29 seconds)
"Josiah knows the stench of collective sin is so great that punishment is rightly deserved. So when he tears his clothes, he is probably mourning what is going to happen to Judah at the same time as repenting personally and on behalf of the people." [00:23:05] (25 seconds)
"Most King Josiah is alive and leading them. He inspires his people. And he inspires us by being open to rebuke, not just being open to it, but being, but fully feeling it, including the consequences upon others, and then does everything he possibly can to lead to repentance. Why?" [00:25:55] (30 seconds)
"King Josiah impresses and inspires us to follow his example of being open to rebuke and holistically and wholeheartedly following the Lord and helping others to do so too." [00:29:03] (18 seconds)
