Manasseh, king of Judah's idolatry and abominations
King Manasseh had done to worship demons (erected altars to Baal, who is a devil) made its pass through the fire children (her children sacrificed to the demons in a fire), Manasseh served in the army of the sky (power of the air = demons), he practiced magic and did other bad things to God Almighty.
In times of adversity the king Manasseh repented of the evil things he had done, asked forgiveness from God and was forgiven.
Almighty God is not like a human being, his thoughts are very different and his mercy and justice remain in eternity.
if a person truly repents of the evil he has done, if he stops doing evil, because God, being benign, being the Creator should not forgive?
(Isaiah 55:8)
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways are," says the Lord.
according to the Scriptures as the evil abomination before God is to commit murder, kill, kill, murder.
fact a murder can not be remedied in any way, take the life of a person is the most vicious crime that can make a human being according to the Bible.
fact murderess Cain slew Abel at the instigation of Satan.
Satan is a powerful instigator and accuser.
says well the Word of God John 8:44
You are offspring of the devil, who is your father, and want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks lies, he speaks of his own, he is a liar and the father of lies.
2 Chronicles 33:1-20
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and reigned fifty years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the children of Israel.
He built the high places which Hezekiah his father had demolished, erected altars to Baal, he's Ascerim and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.
also erected altars in the house of which the Lord had said: "My name will remain in Jerusalem forever."
built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
he made his sons pass through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, practiced magic, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and wizards. It gave entirely to do what is evil in the sight of provoking him to anger.
Mise even a graven image, the idol he had made in the house of God, which God had said to David and Solomon his son: "In this house and Jerusalem, which I chose of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever, and I'll wander over the foot of Israel away from the country that I gave to your fathers, provided they take care to put into practice everything I have commanded them, all the law, statutes and decrees given by means of Moses. "
But Manasseh did mislead the people of Judah and Jerusalem by getting them to do worse than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel. 10 The LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention.
Then the Lord did come against them the captains of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with hooks on the nose, bound him with bronze chains and brought him to Babylon.
When he was in trouble, he implored the LORD his God, and deeply humbled before the God of his fathers.
Then he begged and pleaded with him and God heard his supplication and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God. After this, Manasseh built a wall outside the city of David, west of Gihon in the valley, to the door of the fish, which turned around Ophel, and made him very high. Then in all the fortified cities of Judah placed military leaders.
addition removed from the house of the gods and the idol, along with all the altars he had built the house of the mountain and in Jerusalem, and threw them out of the city.
Then he restored the altar of the Lord about it and offered sacrifices of thanksgiving and praise, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel. However, people continued to offer sacrifices in the high places, but only the Lord his God.
The rest of the acts of Manasseh, the prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
But his prayers and how God gave him listening to all his sins and all his infidelities, the places where he built the high places and erected the Ascerim and graven images, before being humiliated, here, are written in the book Hoza.
Then Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in his home. Reigned in his stead his son Amon.
