In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah. And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

The story of two kingdoms. The nation of Israel and its king, Hoshea, deserted the LORD, God the Almighty, but Hezekiah, King of Judah, turned to the LORD and cleaned the nation. He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD.

Is there hope for the Western Church today? Yes, of course. It is to adopt a course of repentance and obedience. It is to bring every aspect of our lives and testimony into accordance with the Word of God and to live that life boldly.
