The Life Of A Wicked King (King Manasseh)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020

The Old Testament prophets are relevant to our question because their major theme is judgement, and because God's great act of judgement at the end of the Old Testament may be a foreshadowing of his judgement of the whole world in 'End Times'.
