GOOD TIMES RETURN
The Lord answered the prayers of the prophet Isaiah and Hezekiah as an angel of the Lord annihilated the Assyrian army. King Sennacherib returned home in shame to Nineveh and was subsequently murdered by two of his sons. 2 Chronicles 32:20-22
News of the divine intervention that obliterated the Assyrian army spread among the nations and people began to seek out Jerusalem to worship God at the temple complex and offer gifts to Hezekiah. The king of Judah became a celebrity. verse 23
PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION
Hezekiah loved the Lord, but like so many of God’s people, Lucifer snared him through pride. 2 Chronicles 32:25; Proverbs 16:18
The Lord struck him with an illness, and as he lay in his bed, God sent the prophet Isaiah with the message to set his house in order because his time on earth was about to end. 2 Kings 20:1
Hezekiah did not get angry with the prophet; he simply turned his head toward the wall and began to pray. verses 2-3
Isaiah had not made it out of the palace when he again received a word from the Lord that God had heard Hezekiah’s prayer and that he would receive another 15 years on earth. verses 4-6
Isaiah ordered the palace staff to put a lump of figs on the boil that was on Hezekiah’s body and he was healed. verse 7
Isaiah told Hezekiah that God was going to move the marking of the sun 10 degrees – or 20 minutes – on the sun dial. Which way did the king want it moved – forwards or backwards? verse 9
Hezekiah thought it would be more difficult for Jesus to move it backwards. Isaiah forwarded the request and the earth moved 20 minutes backwards.1 verses 10-11
PROSPERING AGAIN
God began to prosper Hezekiah once again after his healing. He brought riches to Judah through trade and built additional cities. 2 Chronicles 32:27-29
During his reign, Hezekiah ordered the construction of the Siloam tunnel. It started at the Gihon spring, stretching 1,749 ft. until it concluded within the walls of Jerusalem at the Pool of Siloam. The spring of Gihon was originally inside the walls of Jerusalem, but the water gushed under the wall to a pool outside the city.
When the Assyrians threatened the capital, Hezekiah wanted to block the Assyrian army from the water by building a tunnel and plugging the outlet under the wall. The end result was that the Assyrians were denied water, while the city’s inhabitants had plenty to drink.
This was quite the engineering feat since dynamite had not been discovered and the tunnel had to be dug by hand. 2 Chronicles 32:30
DELEGATION FROM BABYLON
Hezekiah’s fame spread far and wide, and when King Baladan of Babylon heard that the king of Judah was sick, he sent a delegation to Jerusalem. A sizeable gift was presented to Hezekiah, who was so impressed by the Babylonians that he showed the visitors all his riches. 2 Kings 20:13
This act was noted by the Godhead and they rebuked Hezekiah. verses 14-18
NO PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Hezekiah enjoyed being a king. He had a few mishaps, but repented each time and God kept blessing him. He kept busy worshiping the Lord, tending to trade with many nations, building cities, and increasing farming and cattle production in the land.
Like many of his predecessors, he did not give much thought what would happen once he died. His carelessness about the future can be seen in that he was rebuked by Isaiah and told the Babylonians would return and take all that he had accumulated. Not only that, but his sons would be seized and castrated.
Hezekiah was blissfully happy that these calamities would not happen during his lifetime and accepted the prophetic word. 2 Kings 20:19
HEZEKIAH AND HIS FAMILY
The Bible does not reveal if Hezekiah had more than one wife. Hephzibah bore him a son called Manasseh. Hephzibah in Hebrew means “My delight is in her.” 2 Kings 21:1
It is obvious that Hezekiah did not invest much time in his son and he certainly did not oversee Manasseh’s education. As a king and father, Hezekiah’s role was to take care of things while he lived, but he was also responsible to prepare the next generation of Judah. Deuteronomy 6:1-9
Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became king of Judah, reigned for a total of 29 years, and was 54 years old when he died. Idolatry had been stamped out and the high places were destroyed, but it was obvious that the Kabbalistic Jews had survived and they had been able to enlist new converts. One of them was Manasseh!
Manasseh was just a 12-year-old boy when he became king and his tutors and instructors were Kabbalists. 2 Kings 21:1-2
HOUSE BUILT ON SAND
Hezekiah lived and ruled as a king in vain. All the good that he did in Judah with refurbishing the temple, organizing the priests and the Levites, and leading the people back to Jesus came to an end with his death.
Hezekiah’s cabinet was replaced by Kabbalists on the day that Manasseh became king. Logic would dictate that a 12-year-old boy does not rule as king; instead, there would be a regent or advisors and tutors.
The adult men around the young king must have introduced Manasseh to sexual pleasure, alcohol, and child sacrifice on the altars of Moloch at an early age. The Bible clearly reveals what kind of policies were implemented when Manasseh and his cabinet took power. 2 Kings 21:1-9
SUMMARY
I wrote the eighth Kabbalah book called “Bitter Fruit” a few years ago in which I chronicled how public education was targeted for change in 1832.2 During a period of 190 years, the World Government used the secret student society Skull and Bones at Yale University to replace the Christian based educational system with a hellbent, woke, and destructive system. Impressionable children today are being told they must figure out if they are male or female, transgender, genderless, heterosexual or homosexual.
This malevolent confusion is only possible because the Christian community did not understand the importance of education; whereas, the people following Lucifer know that capturing the youth is the key to taking control.
Hezekiah loved the Lord and repented when he sinned. Sadly, he was totally blind to the fact that all the work and effort during his administration was negated when Manasseh took power.
All the work for Christ that was done in United States since 1832 had a certain value for a particular time period. People were saved and went to heaven when they died, but none of the pastors and evangelists saw the need to secure the educational system in America. They were all like Hezekiah – they lived for the now – but never thought about the morrow. Hosea 4:1-6
1. Let’s say that Isaiah came to Hezekiah at 3 p.m. That means that the rotation of the earth was moved backward, so that the time changed to 2:40 p.m. This was a supernatural event since the earth’s rotation had to be stopped, reversed to the equivalent of 20 minutes, then resume its normal forward rotation.

Remember, it’s not so important how you begin your life after salvation, but how you finish it!
