The term "horror" suggests a state of shock and fear that will be so severe it will serve as a warning to other nations. This reflects the covenantal curses outlined in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-37.htm">Deuteronomy 28:37</a>, where disobedience to God would result in becoming "an object of horror" among the nations. Historically, this prophecy was fulfilled when Judah was conquered by Babylon, leading to the exile. The scattering of the Jewish people served as a testament to the consequences of turning away from God.<p><b>because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem</b><br>Manasseh's reign is recorded in <a href="/2_kings/21.htm">2 Kings 21</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/33.htm">2 Chronicles 33</a>, where he is described as one of the most wicked kings of Judah. He reversed the religious reforms of his father Hezekiah, reintroducing idolatry and even practicing child sacrifice. His actions led to spiritual and moral decay in Jerusalem, provoking God's wrath. The reference to Manasseh highlights the long-lasting impact of a leader's sin on a nation. This serves as a reminder of the importance of godly leadership and the severe consequences of leading a nation into sin. Manasseh's actions are a type of antichrist, opposing the ways of God, contrasting with the righteous reign of Jesus Christ, the ultimate King.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A prophet called by God to deliver messages of judgment and hope to the people of Judah.
