00:00Imagine being so evil that your own enemies drag you away with a hook in your nose.
00:07This was Manasseh, one of the most wicked kings in Judah's history.
00:12He ruled for 55 years, but his actions were horrifying.
00:17He worshipped false gods, practiced witchcraft, and placed idols inside God's holy temple.
00:24Even worse, he sacrificed his own sons in fire.
00:30God warned him, but Manasseh refused to listen.
00:33Then disaster struck.
00:36The Assyrians captured him, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze chains, and dragged him to Babylon.
00:44But here comes the shocking part.
00:46In prison, Manasseh finally humbled himself and prayed to God.
00:51He repented of his sins, and God listened.
00:56God brought him back to Jerusalem and restored his kingdom.
01:01Manasseh then removed foreign idols and tried to repair the damage he had done.
01:05His story is a powerful reminder.
01:08No matter how far someone falls, genuine repentance can lead them back to God.
01:14No matter how far someone falls, genuine repentance can lead them back to God.
01:14No matter how far someone falls, genuine repentance can lead them back to God.
01:14No matter how far someone falls, genuine repentance can lead them back to God.
