THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 61: The Kings of Judah
(Hezekiah) |
|
Hezekiah continued to lead his people in the worship
of the Lord and the southern kingdom prospered. Judeans and other
nations assembled at Jerusalem to worship God, bringing personal
gifts for Hezekiah and the prosperity went to his head. Suddenly he
lay dying on a bed and the prophet Isaiah showed up with the news
that God wanted him to set his house in order. Hezekiah repented and
returned to foreign trade, building new cities, and increasing the
production of grain and cattle. He was flattered when a Babylonian
delegation arrived and showed them all his riches. God was not
pleased and said they would return to plunder all the gold and
silver in the future. Hezekiah shortsightedly thought this good news
since it would not take place during his lifetime. Hezekiah was a
great king, but he lived for the now and did not give much thought
about the future. He failed to properly educate Manasseh and his son
would go on to embrace Lucifer. |
