Joash

In the King Joash narrative, the evil queen is killing off all the male heirs of the line of David but one of those heirs is hidden away. It is a time of great sin and darkness in the land because unhealthy leadership leads to an unhealthy nation. Six years later, King Joash is brought out of hiding and the queen sees him standing. Joash delivers the people from bondage under an evil tyrant but putting the Queen to death. He then begins to rebuild the temple. Joash though only serves to let us know we need an even greater King from the line of David who will deliver us from the Prince of the Power of the Air. This King however, unlike every other son of David, only needs a tomb for 3 days and when He walks out He begins to build a Temple not made with hands!
