Perhaps you’ve watched as a new leader has worked hard to undo the failings of the past and bring in a new era? We see it often in athletics as a new coach is brought in to lead a losing team to a new future by building a winning culture. We’ve seen it in business as a new leader changes the org chart and replaces key positions and sometimes changes the brand logo and even the mission statement. We see it in government when a new leader is elected and passionately implements new policies both domestic and international.

I wonder what the relationship is between Government and Religion in your city, your State or Province, your Nation? In America where I live, this is often a topic of discussion, sometimes a heated discussion with strong emotion. Did you know God designed the nation of Israel to function with a wonderful balance and blend of Religion & Government?

Some of you may remember the significance of this date 11/22 in the year 1963. It was the day President John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Tx. That event sent shock waves around the world which still reverberate today. You’ll remember the remainder of that decade was very turbulent with assassinations of both Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, as well as civil war in the Belgian Congo and the ramp up of the Vietnam war. What a dramatic day it was 61 years ago today and may I invite you to another dramatic, world changing day?

You understand the fundamental life principle of “cause and effect” don’t you? When you drop a stone in a pool of water, ripples flow out in all directions from that spot, right? When you shout in a canyon you hear an echo, right? God has designed our universe and the human life experience to function very predictably with many ’cause and effect’ relationships, right? So today, let’s return to Jerusalem about 2600 years ago as God is proclaiming some very important ’cause and effect’ realities about God’s relationship with our human race.

What is the greatest discovery you’ve ever made? Maybe something about your heritage past which you discovered in an old box of faded photographs or family lineage? Maybe some buried treasure that you discovered under the sand at the beach or underground around your house as you were planting flowers? Join me today in one of the greatest discoveries of all time which was made during a restoration project of the great Temple of God in Jerusalem in 622bc. 2 Chronicles 34:14 and 2 Kings 22:8 give us this record: “Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the LORD that had been given through Moses. Hilkiah said to Shaphan the secretary: ‘I have found the Book of the Law in the Temple of the LORD!”

Are you a heritage chain breaker? I live now in a town where our public schools have a very large percentage of kids growing up in absentee father homes. In many cases these kids have no idea who their biological father is! We even have many kids being raised by grandparents or foster homes because their biological home is such a mess the kids would not be safe with their parents! Perhaps it’s the same in your city. Perhaps that’s your story and now as an adult you are a ‘chain breaker’ making sure your children do not grow up in the mess you experienced.

I wonder if you have discovered, and do you spend much time in, the ancient book of Proverbs in the Bible? There is great wisdom in every verse, much of it penned by King Solomon, the man to whom God gave an unusual anointing of great wisdom. (2 Chronicles 1:7-12) Here’s a powerful statement from Proverbs 1:8 “Listen my son to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.” Those same words are echoed in Proverbs 6:20. I like to link that with this wonderful declaration in Psalm 61:5 “You, O God, have heard my vows, You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.” Is that you, my friend? Do you thank God for a wonderful spiritual heritage? If not, are you beginning such a heritage in your generation for the descendants who follow you?

I wonder what biographies of your life and mine would be like, my friends? Probably for all of us there would be some pages, maybe some chapters which would not be very flattering and perhaps we all have some life events we hope would be omitted from our life story. The last few lines summarizing King Manasseh’s long life in Jerusalem are these: “The other events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel. His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself – all these are written in the records of the seers.” (2 Chronicles 33:18,19)

I wonder how much you know about the history of the city where you live? The city where I live, from what I’ve learned, only has history going back about 150 years. But in the past few days we’ve been looking at one of the greatest cities of all time, Nineveh. For several centuries it was considered one of the most magnificent cities in the world far larger and far more developed than almost any other city, with sophisticated architecture and the finest art and music and libraries filled with education and even some famous ‘hanging gardens’!

We know God is holy and loving and merciful, but is God also a God of Justice and Vengeance against wickedness? Yesterday we began looking at the words God was speaking to the people of Jerusalem and Jews everywhere in about the year 660bc, perhaps 30 years or so after old Isaiah the prophet had been executed by the Jewish King Manasseh. As we saw in 2 Chronicles 33:10,11 God had removed His hand of protection for wicked King Manasseh and an Assyrian attack force had entered Jerusalem and captured the Jewish king. These words describe the remarkable scene: “They took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon!”
