    About this ebook

    The Bible teaches that the fall of Israel and Judah as once Godly nations resulted from their own continued sinfulness and disobedience to God's commands ... not from the strength and power of their enemies. In this book the author focuses on a portion of the history of Israel and Judah stretching from 750 BC to 586 BC and in particular the leadership of King Hezekiah and his son Manasseh. Parallels are drawn between the sinfulness of Israel/Judah and modern-day America. Topics covered include the positive reforms of Hezekiah such as the revival of the worship of Yahweh; the building of Hezekiah’s Tunnel; the lies, intimidation and blasphemy of Assyria’s King Sennacherib; Hezekiah’s illness unto death and his miraculous recovery; the consequences of Hezekiah’s pride; and the failure of Hezekiah as a Godly father in rearing his son Manasseh. The final chapter deals with what will be required for God to Save America from a similar downfall.
