This is incredible for me. I knew it! And why was Jerusalem invaded and conquered? Because every nation that legalizes child sacrifice is eventually conquered. God’s red line is making it legal.
“Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD WOULD NOT FORGIVE.” (All caps mine)
Manasseh repented in Babylon and was reinstated. His grandson? Josiah. Great revival.
Sorry, missed reference.
2 Kings 24:3 & 4
also, if you want to know how the survivors felt,
read Lamentations.
