Welcome to today’s Bible study.

In this episode of 2 Kings 21 (KJV), we continue our verse-by-verse journey through the book of 2 Kings as Judah falls deeper into idolatry under King Manasseh. This chapter explores rebellion, corruption, judgment, repentance, and God's holiness.

Manasseh becomes king and does evil in the sight of the LORD. He rebuilds high places, worships false gods, practices forbidden spiritual rituals, and places an idol in the temple of the LORD. His actions lead Judah into greater wickedness, and innocent blood fills Jerusalem.

God declares judgment upon Jerusalem because of the nation's persistent rebellion and Manasseh's evil leadership. After Manasseh's death, his son Amon becomes king and continues in idolatry. Amon is eventually assassinated by his servants, and his son Josiah succeeds him.

Through this chapter, we see the destructive consequences of idolatry and corrupt leadership, as well as the seriousness of rejecting God's commands.

Together, we will study this chapter verse-by-verse, exploring its historical context, theological depth, and spiritual lessons about idolatry, rebellion, leadership, judgment, repentance, and the holiness of the LORD.
