The articles refer to the sacred items used in temple worship, which had been neglected or defiled. The act of preparing and consecrating these items signifies a return to proper worship and reverence for God. In the context of the Old Testament, consecration involved purification rituals, often using water or blood, to set apart items for holy use. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness and the need for purification before approaching God, as seen in <a href="/exodus/29.htm">Exodus 29</a> and <a href="/leviticus/8.htm">Leviticus 8</a>.<p><b>that King Ahaz in his unfaithfulness cast aside during his reign.</b><br>King Ahaz was known for his idolatry and unfaithfulness to the covenant with God. He introduced pagan practices and desecrated the temple, as recorded in <a href="/2_kings/16.htm">2 Kings 16</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/28.htm">2 Chronicles 28</a>. His actions led to spiritual decline in Judah. The casting aside of sacred articles symbolizes the rejection of God's commandments and the embrace of foreign gods. This historical context highlights the consequences of turning away from God and the importance of faithful leadership.<p><b>They are now in front of the altar of the LORD.”</b><br>The placement of the consecrated articles in front of the altar signifies their readiness for use in worship. The altar of the LORD was central to Israelite worship, representing God's presence and the place of sacrifice. This act of restoration is a physical and spiritual renewal, aligning with the reforms initiated by King Hezekiah, who sought to restore true worship in Judah. The altar's significance is echoed in the New Testament, where Christ is seen as the ultimate sacrifice, fulfilling the sacrificial system (<a href="/hebrews/9-11.htm">Hebrews 9:11-14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/king_hezekiah.htm">King Hezekiah</a></b><br>The king of Judah who initiated religious reforms and sought to restore proper worship in the temple.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/k/king_ahaz.htm">King Ahaz</a></b><br>Hezekiah's father, known for his unfaithfulness and idolatry, which led to the desecration of the temple.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/l/levites_and_priests.htm">Levites and Priests</a></b><br>The religious leaders responsible for the cleansing and consecration of the temple and its articles.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/temple_of_the_lord.htm">Temple of the LORD</a></b><br>The central place of worship in Jerusalem, which had been neglected and defiled under Ahaz's reign.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/consecration.htm">Consecration</a></b><br>The act of making something sacred or dedicating it to the service of God, which was necessary for the temple articles.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_consecration.htm">The Importance of Consecration</a></b><br>Just as the temple articles were consecrated for God's service, believers are called to consecrate their lives to God, setting themselves apart for His purposes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/restoration_and_renewal.htm">Restoration and Renewal</a></b><br>Hezekiah's actions demonstrate the possibility of spiritual renewal and restoration, even after a period of unfaithfulness.
