"O altar, altar! Thus says the LORD: 'Behold, a child, Josiah by name, shall be born to the house of David; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you and men's bones shall be burned on you.'" 1 Kings 13:2-3 NKJV
1 Kings 13:2-3 is an astounding piece of scripture. An unnamed prophet by the Word of the Lord stands face to face with a pagan king and prophesies against his altar of idolatry! King Jeroboam had created altars of convenience to protect his kingdom and caused the nation to fall into sin. The unnamed prophet goes on to say that as a sign, the altar will be split and the ashes will be poured out! Just when the king puts his hand out to arrest him, his own hand withered, he could not move it, the altar split, and the ashes poured out! The Sound of Awakening was released through this unnamed prophet and the Justice of Heaven was enthroned! WHOA! I am lying in my bed, eyes wide open at 3am, and I find myself meditating on this story. My heart is weeping, as I continuously hear these words over the church tonight, “burn the bones!!!!”
