THE BIBLE UNEARTHED: THE MAKING OF A RELIGION -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |
|
From the very beginning of the STORY we read that Josiah did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord. And later, that he walked in the ways of David -- his father -- and didn't turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
It will be shown, in fact, that in all that he did he was the worthy successor to THE FOUNDER OF THE DYNASTY, leaving the reader with no conclusion other than we are dealing with a new David.
[Narrator] ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, the divine commitment to the dynasty of David was an unconditional one. That promise, recorded in the Biblical text, makes the mission of his descendant Josiah an inescapable one.
Megiddo, Israel
Its PLAN is the REALIZATION of that PROMISE.
But once again [according to the Bible] THE TIDES OF FATE decided otherwise.
A TRAGEDY WAS IN THE MAKING at Megiddo.
Egypt, which had been FORGOTTEN ABOUT, CAME BACK ON THE SCENE with a VENGEANCE. Pharaoh Necho II summoned Josiah and killed him.
