The altar of the LORD was central to Israelite worship, symbolizing God's presence and the place where sacrifices were made. Manasseh's restoration of the altar indicates a return to proper worship practices, contrasting with his earlier idolatry. The altar's restoration signifies a renewal of the covenant relationship with God, similar to other biblical instances where leaders like Elijah (<a href="/1_kings/18-30.htm">1 Kings 18:30</a>) repaired altars to restore true worship.and sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it Peace offerings and thank offerings were part of the Levitical sacrificial system (Leviticus 3, 7:11-15). Peace offerings symbolized fellowship and reconciliation with God, while thank offerings expressed gratitude. Manasseh's sacrifices demonstrate his desire to restore peace with God and express thankfulness for his mercy. These offerings foreshadow the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who reconciles humanity to God and embodies the perfect peace offering (<a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14-16</a>).and he told Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel Manasseh's command to Judah reflects his leadership role in guiding the nation back to covenant faithfulness. This directive contrasts with his earlier promotion of idolatry (<a href="/2_chronicles/33-3.htm">2 Chronicles 33:3-9</a>). It echoes the biblical theme of national repentance and renewal, as seen in the reforms of other kings like Hezekiah (<a href="/2_chronicles/29-10.htm">2 Chronicles 29:10-11</a>). The phrase emphasizes the importance of communal worship and obedience to God, reinforcing the identity of the LORD as the God of Israel, who demands exclusive devotion (<a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4-5</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/m/manasseh.htm">Manasseh</a> King of Judah who initially led the nation into idolatry but later repented and sought to restore true worship. 2. <a href="/topical/a/altar_of_the_lord.htm">Altar of the LORD</a> The sacred place for sacrifices, symbolizing the restoration of worship and relationship with God. 3. <a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a> The southern kingdom of Israel, which Manasseh ruled and led back to the worship of Yahweh. 4. <a href="/topical/p/peace_offerings_and_thank_offerings.htm">Peace Offerings and Thank Offerings</a> Sacrifices made to express gratitude and seek reconciliation with God. 5. <a href="/topical/r/repentance_and_restoration.htm">Repentance and Restoration</a> The event of Manasseh's transformation from idolatry to leading Judah back to God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_repentance.htm">The Power of Repentance</a> True repentance can lead to personal and communal restoration.
