"Thus saith the Lord" is another weapon of warfare. II Kings 22 and 34 tells of Huldah and her prophetic word. Obviously she was known throughout the kingdom of Judah. King Josiah sent five of his messengers to her with the Book of the Law, which had been found while the temple was being repaired. The king wanted Huldah to tell him whether the writings were genuine or not. Huldah sent word back to the king that the writings were authentic and also sent a prophetic word to the king. She said that God would bring evil upon the people of Judah because they had forsaken Him and turned to images, but she sent word that it would not happen in King Josiah's lifetime because his heart was turned toward God.

Huldah's prophecy gave the king the courage to put into action the laws of God written in the book. Josiah had the law read in the house of God and made a personal commitment to follow the Lord. God is calling prophetesses today who will declare the Word of the Lord. Someone said, "The prophets are coming." No, they are already here.
