2 Chronicles 35:22

[Rob McNair]

King Neco of Egypt wants to pass through the land of King Josiah of Israel. Josiah says no and Neco says "but God wants me to." Josiah doesn't listen, fights Neco, and dies because he did not heed the words of God through King Neco of Egypt. I find this interesting because God is speaking to the King of Israel through a gentile, the King of Egypt. I am sure there might be other examples of this where God uses gentiles instead of his "chosen people."

I find it kind of odd how God uses an Egyptian to spread His word. I mean before Egyptians were bad, like so bad that they got plagues put on them, but then God uses them for good.
huh, small world

Well, sometimes the Jews would refuse to listen even if it came from God's own mouth. Actually, that happened alot. Maybe it was an act of trust, to see how much we can rely on God to work though all people and not just those we think to be on our side. God might have wanted us to be at peace with one another, so therefor he sent an enemy to give the word to see if we could trust that it was actually God speaking, and not just the Egyptians trying to use the name of God to get their way. Sadly, King Josiah didn't want to believe that God would chose the enemy to spread his word and so he rebelled. And since he did so, he died. Whatcha think of that?
