  15. Let’s review some history…

  17. Do You Remember How Judah was Protected?

  18. Why were they spared? 2 Kings 18

  19. Can one person make a difference? Hezekiah Manasseh

  20. Why was Manasseh considered one of the worst kings of Judah ever? 2 Kings 21:1-6, 9, 16 Can one person make a difference?

  21. “Manasseh … barbarously slew all the righteous men that were among the Hebrews; nor would he spare the prophets, for he every day slew some of them, till Jerusalem was overflown with blood.” Flavius Josephus Roman-Jewish Historian (Antiquities of the Jews, bk. 10, chap. 3, par. 3.)

  22. Jewish tradition says that Manasseh also destroyed every copy of the scriptures he could locate as well as the people who owned them (so they couldn’t recreate them from memory). What would happen if true prophets, true scripture, and true temple worship were snuffed out of our society for the next 50 years?

  31. King Josiah’s Reform 2 Kings 23:1-25

  32. “I feel strongly that all of us must return to the scriptures just as King Josiah did and let them work mightily within us, impelling us to an unwavering determination to serve the Lord. “Josiah had the law of Moses only. In our scriptures we have the gospel of Jesus Christ in its fulness; and if a taste is sweet, in fulness there is joy. Spencer W. Kimball President (Ensign, July 1985, p.1-3)

  33. “The Lord is not trifling with us when he gives us these things, for ‘unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.’ (Luke 12:48.)

Kimball President (Ensign, July 1985, p.1-3)
