5 "Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people, 'This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the LORD. 6 I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.'
Hezekiah was a man of GOD he did wad was right in the eyes of the Lord and see how mightily God has blessed Him. God healed Hezekiah who was about to die that very day but yet God was so great and mercy that he even add fifteen years of life to him and that just that larhx. but also deliver him from his foes. So people, u see if God is so awesome i mean stop wasting your time on wad so on things, the world will fail but only God that will stand by our side and he is forever. that goes for best friends too. you might think that i can be with them forever but, good times will not be forever, one day will still be separated de. Dun indulge in this world but, seek God for only he gives eternal blessing and love.

7 He took the carved Asherah pole he had made and put it in the temple, of which the LORD had said to David and to his son Solomon, "In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever. 8 I will not again make the feet of the Israelites wander from the land I gave their forefathers, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them and will keep the whole Law that my servant Moses gave them." 9 But the people did not listen. Manasseh led them astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
10 The LORD said through his servants the prophets: 11 "Manasseh king of Judah has committed these detestable sins. He has done more evil than the Amorites who preceded him and has led Judah into sin with his idols.
12 Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle. 13 I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab. I will wipe out Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14 I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance and hand them over to their enemies. They will be looted and plundered by all their foes, 15 because they have done evil in my eyes and have provoked me to anger from the day their forefathers came out of Egypt until this day."
Manasseh,he did was was evil the eyes of the Lord and he re built the high place that his father had destroyed and he erected altars for baal. he led the people astray and he did even more evil deeds than of all the people God has destroyed before the israelites. and God promise to bring disaster on Jerusalem even he does not bring it on the time Manasseh reign, he will fulfill it was He is a God that keeps his promise.
2 Kings 22:13
13"Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the LORD's anger that burns against us because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us."Josiah did was was right in the eyes of God. He did not shaken in the walk with God but he stand firm in the Lord. he re bulit all the temple of GOD that Manasseh had destroyed and he even praised the Lord when God wanted to bring disaster on them. On this earth not many are able to do this but the more we have to. For when problems come we must also praise God even when it is hard, we should praise God. He does things all for a purpose. we might not know but we should follow Him and seek always and even more when we are busy and have problems. for when there are problems, it can be a test of faith and we can glorify God. x))
19 Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people, that they would become accursed and laid waste, and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you, declares the LORD. 20 Therefore I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place.' "
So they took her answer back to the king.
God is mercy and he did not wanted to do wad he had promised to Josiah for he was humble and resposive towards GOd. see people, its like when we do not response to God do you think we can be like God? do you think u can grow well? even the pastor humbles and response towards God even being such a long Christian. so its like this journey with God is never ending, we will always learn things and when we do, dun get proud and be humble and continue to learn and response towards God. yupps and see that God he is so mercy and does not want his son , Josiah to suffer. 3 The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the LORD -to follow the LORD and keep his commands, regulations and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant.
Josiah went to renew the covenant which Not since the days of the judges who led Israel, nor throughout the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah, had any such Passover been observed and Josiah went to destroy all the temples that Manasseh had created and all the temple the people had created for thier gods. Josiah did alot to make sure that all was destroyed.
25 Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the LORD as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.
i want to be like Josiah for this is the command of the Lord to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind just like Josiah. even knowing that God was still angry with the Israelites, he still do things and things written in the bible x)) he covenant where many left out but he was the one who find it back x)).
