"Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam Shabbethai the Levite supporting them."
God was doing a wonderful work of calling out His people from a life of compromise. Yet we find opposition to what was being done from not only the people, but from some of the priests also. The Lord wanted a people set apart for Him, not because of exclusivity, or racial purity, but for His divine use and glory. The Messiah would eventually come from this people, but only if they didn't just blend off in a sea of the many nations. Yes, opposition comes on all fronts.
