11.30 Evening:

We glory in tribulations.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.―Sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.―They departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His Name.

The God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

11.30 Evening:

(Romans 5:3)And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

(I Corinthians 15:19)If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

(I Peter 4:12,13)Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.--(II Corinthians 6:10)As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

(Philippians 4:4)Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.--(Acts 5:41)And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His Name.

(Romans 15:13)Now the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in Hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

(Habakkuk 3:17,18)Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
I Peter 5:11 To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

The LORD is gracious

For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word,
that ye may grow thereby:
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(I Peter 1:24-2:3)

The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


The Word for the month--
Psalm 27:13,14 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the Goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.


The Word for the day--
Psalm 107:5,6 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.

Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--

"Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses."

Psalm 119:81 My soul fainteth for Thy salvation: but I hope in Thy Word.

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after Righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Psalm 107:5-9 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses. And He led them forth by the Right Way [cp. Jn 10:3,4; Jn 14;6], that they might go to a City of Habitation [cp. Eph 2:22; Rev 21:2]. Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Galatians 1:4,5 Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: to Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son:

I Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for His Son from Heaven, Whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

II Corinthians 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in Whom we trust that He will yet deliver us;

Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 27:13,14 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Again, the Word for the day--Psalm 107:5,6 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.

11.30 Morning:

Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

Peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come.―The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.―Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

The Comforter . . . even the Spirit of truth.―The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace.―The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto Him, If Thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and Thy people have found grace in Thy sight? is it not in that Thou goest with us?

11.29 Evening:

Do ye now believe?

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?―Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy Seed be called: accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead.―Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?―Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

By their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven.―If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Joh 16:31 Jas 2:14,17 Heb 11:17-19 Jas 2:21,24 1:25 Mt 7:20,21 Joh 13:17

(Hebrews 11:17-19)By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy Seed be called: accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.--(James 2:21)Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?--(James 2:24)Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

(James 1:25)But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)

Here is the entire sentence--

Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;) and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the Day approaching.


Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--

"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering"

I Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

II Timothy 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound Words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a Son over His Own House; Whose House are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the Hope firm unto the end.

Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a Great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.


"for He is faithful that promised"

I Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

I Thessalonians 5:24 Faithful is He that calleth you, Who also will do it.

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

Habakkuk 2:3,4 For the Vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by His faith.

II Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, Who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

II Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself.

Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

I Peter 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Revelation 19:11 And I saw Heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in Righteousness He doth judge and make war.

Hebrews 12:26 Whose Voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of Life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.

I John 2:25 And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even Eternal Life.

II Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth Righteousness.

Again, the Word for the day--Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)

11.29 Morning:

We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Thy House.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in His temple.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after Righteousness: for they shall be filled.―He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He hath sent empty away.

He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.―I am the Bread of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.

How excellent is Thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the Shadow of Thy Wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy House; and Thou shalt make them drink of the River of Thy pleasures. For with Thee is the Fountain of Life: in Thy Light shall we see Light.

As the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that ... He might... deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?―Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.―For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

We know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, Eternal in the Heavens.―Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: ... we are ...willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's House are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

11.28 Morning:

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Not every one that saith . . ., Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven.―Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.―Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.

By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in Him was yea. For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.―Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil.

Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.

None of us liveth to himself.―Brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.―Take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.―When ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

For all flesh is as grass,

Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, Who of God is made unto us Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of Life.

11.27 Morning:

The glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them.

I saw . . . the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. Above it stood the Seraphims: . . . And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.―These things said Esaias, when he saw His glory, and spake of Him.―Upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness . . . of a Man above upon it. . . . As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

I beseech thee, shew me Thy glory. . . . And He said, Thou canst not see My Face: for there shall no man see Me, and live.―No man hath seen God at any time; the Only Begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.―God, Who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Light of the Knowledge of the glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ.

Above it stood the Seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain He covered His face, and with twain He covered His feet, and with twain He did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.--(John 12:41)These things said Esaias, when he saw His glory, and spake of Him.--(Ezekiel 1:26)And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire Stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a Man above upon it....(Ezekiel 1:28)As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a Voice of One that spake.

The sorrow of the world worketh death.

When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died.―A wounded spirit who can bear?

Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?―The Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, . . . to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.―Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

(Jeremiah 8:22)Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of My people recovered?--(Isaiah 61:1-3)The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me; because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of Righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.--(Matthew 11:28-30)Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Revelation 3:14-22 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of Me Gold tried in the Fire, that thou mayest be rich; and White Raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with Eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My Voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.


Revelation 19:11-16 And I saw Heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in Righteousness He doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of Fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a Name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His Name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in Heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of His mouth goeth a sharp Sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a Name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Hebrews 6:17-20 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for Refuge to lay hold upon the Hope set before us: which Hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the Veil; whither the Forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an High Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Lamentations 3:22-26 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness [cp. 1Jn 1:9; 1Cor 10:13]. The Lord is my Portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in Him. The Lord is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him.

The Lord delighteth in thee.

Thus saith the Lord that created thee, . . . Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.―Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; thy walls are continually before Me.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in His Way.―My delights were with the sons of men.―The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His mercy.―They shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that Day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

You, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight.

Evening devotional

Hear this evening's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]

11.25 Evening:


Whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.

Manasseh . . . Did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, . . . And he reared up altars for Baal, . . . And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.―And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and prayed unto Him: and He was intreated of him, and heard his supplication.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.―The Lord is . . . longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish.

Ac 2:21 2Ki 21:1,2,3,5,6 2Ch 33:12,13 Isa 1:18 2Pe 3:9

11.25 Evening:


(Acts 2:21)And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.

(II Kings 21:1-3)Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzi–bah. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them....(II Kings 21:5,6)And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.--(II Chronicles 33:12,13)And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and prayed unto Him: and He was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord He was God.

(Isaiah 1:18)Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.--(II Peter 3:9)The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
