Days 206-207

Isaiah tells Hezekiah what to do - 2 Kings 19:20-34; Isaiah 37:21-35 (this is after Hezekiah prays to God for deliverance).

Angel destroys enemy - 2 Kings 19:35-36; 2 Chronicles 32:21-22; Isaiah 37:36-37; Psalm 75, 76 (I am continuing to enjoy the Psalms laced w/in the scriptures...the reminder from our spiritual family to give thanks and petitions to the One True God. A God who is in complete control and does not allow anything but HIS will to be accomplished.)

Closing days of Hezekiah - Hezekiah again prospers - 2 Chronicles 32:23-30; 2 Kings 20:20

Shows wealth to Babylonian embassy - 2 Kings 20:12-19; Isaiah 39:1-8; 2 Chronicles 32:31 (reminder to NEVER give away information to the unsaved...how careful are we to NOT cast our pearls before swine?)

Death of Hezekiah - 2 Kings 20:21; 2 Chronicles 32:32-33

Manasseh (55 years - VERY BAD) - in Israel, Assyria populates the cities - 2 Kings 17:24-41 (heh...they are being RULED by a pagan nation...and IT decides who goes where, when, why and how...how close to the end is our nation to being in bondage to another nation?)

Manasseh's sinful ways - 2 Kings 21:1-9; 2 Chronicles 33:1-9 (he followed the heathen ways that the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel - how much like the world does the Bride of Christ look...can a distinct difference be made/known/observed?)

Jehovah's displeasure - 2 Kings 21:10-15; 2 Chronicles 33:10

Sennacherib destroys Babylon - 689 B.C.

Judah is basically a captive and a puppet of Assyria (63 years) - 688-625 B.C.

Future is bright for Assyria, Egypt, Israel - Isaiah 22:15-25

Sennacherib killed, replaced by Esarhaddon - 2 Kings 19:37; Isaiah 37:38

Isaiah martyred (apx 84 years) - 681 B.C. (gave his life for the Truth)

Manasseh's evil ways increase - 2 Kings 21:16

Manasseh's captivity and restoration - 2 Chronicles 33:11-13

Death of Esar-Haddon - Asurbanipal new king - Birth of Amon - 2 Kings 21:19

Return to spiritual leadership - 2 Chronicles 33:14-17

Assyria conquers Egypt - 650 B.C.

Birth of Jeremiah - 650 B.C. (and I thought Isaiah and Jeremiah were alive at the same time!)

Birth of Josiah - 2 Chronicles 34:1

Death of Manasseh - 2 Kings 21:17-18; 2 Chronicles 33:18-20

*~*~*~* Thought it interesting that people who were placed within Israel's borders asked for wisdom to know the God of that land and a priest was sent to them...however, that did not stop them from continuing to incorporate their own gods into worship with the one True God. We see this in the church today...she borrows from the world and tries to add in a new, bold, exciting item(s) to enhance, add, draw in, yet, does it really please Father? How purified from the World is she? What has Father called us, as the members who make up the body of Christ to do, say, act, think, call others to, regarding the Brides defilement?
