Inculcating the Fear of God into the NEXT generations

2 Kings 21 - 23

Inspired thots

Despite the massive clean up of Josiah on all the high places and Baal worshiping, God's anger could not be kindled over the many sins which Manasseh caused the people to indulge in; he set up all forms of idolatrous worship.

Why was the fear of the Lord not inculcated into the lives of the next generations to stay the blessings of God? It is so sad.

Another lesson here is that it is the whole nation of Judah sinning against God. The king is responsible to lead the people into repentance and following God. A good leader is crucial in leading the people into a deep relationship with God. A bad leader takes the people into destruction.
