When there was a failure of leadership in ancient Judah, it was devastating. When the leadership did not obey, honour, and praise God, there was a clear pathway to spiritual devastation. Hezekiah spent his life and reign reforming Judah and preparing them for the Assyrian invasion. Hezekiah knew that survival depended on the LORD, and that the people had to repair the covenant they had broken with God. His son Manasseh, did not agree.
Manasseh took the kingdom at the age of twelve and he was foolish. He began reversing the policies of his father. He went back to the false worship of pagan gods, including the horrifying god named Molech. He desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem and had no regard for any of the reforms Hezekiah had painstakingly worked for. Judah was even worse than it had been before
Hezekiah, and it happened within a generation. God has no grandchildren, each of us must decide who God is and whether we will respect and honour Him.
