I WAS IN PRISON, AND YOU CAME TO ME (Matthew 25:36c)
"My testimony to my Christian Brothers and believers in Jesus Christ our
Savior. I want to thank the Lord for saving me from the life I was once
leading. First of all, I was living in darkness and I thought that I truly
loved the way I was.

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of
the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said
unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day
ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil.

Chapter 32 records the invasion against Judah by
Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. Note especially Hezekiah's
encouragement to his soldiers as Sennacherib comes. He says, "Be
strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of
Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be
more with us than with him. With him is an arm of flesh; but with us
is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles." When they
received this message, "The people rested themselves upon the words
of Hezekiah king of Judah.".
The words of the Lord brought comfort to the people of
Judah. They believed their king, and they were not discouraged in
the face of the enemy. Hezekiah did not want to fight the war
against the Assyrian army but, in the face of discouragement, he
sought the Lord's face, and God gave him the courage to fight the
battle. He also gave him a message of encouragement for his people
and, as we see in verse 21, the Assyrian army was destroyed.
The last verse of chapter 32 records Hezekiah's death.
Chapter 33 records the idolatry of Manasseh and Amon, and their
wicked rule. Many historians note that Manasseh was probably the
most wicked king that ever ruled over Judah. Verses 1-10 of chapter
33 cover some of his wicked deeds; then his captivity and
restoration (verses 11-13). His reform and death are covered in
verses 14-20, and Amon began his rule in verse 21.
The reign of Josiah is recorded in chapter 34. He was only
eight years of age when he became king, and he reigned 31 years. He
is known as one of Judah's best kings. He fought against idolatry
and a great revival took place under his rule. This revival was
greatly the result of finding the Mosaic Law which was lost during
Manasseh's reign of terror.
