- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is the ministry of Striving for Eternity. The books of 1st and 2nd
- 00:17
- Chronicles, now this again is one of the books that as we look in the Old Testament, this is known as just Chronicles.
- 00:26
- There is no 1st and 2nd Chronicles. Now, this traditionally has been assumed to have been written by Ezra.
- 00:35
- Why is that important? Well, this puts it after the captivity of 70 years.
- 00:43
- So where you have 1st and 2nd Kings being the history of the kings before they go into the captivity, this is the account after they come out of that captivity.
- 00:57
- So what we end up seeing here is we're going to see here an accounting that is going to provide for us lessons learned of how not to repeat.
- 01:09
- This is going through the life of the kings, trying to teach a historical lesson to the nation of Israel about what brought them in their disobedience to be brought into the captivity that they just got out of.
- 01:25
- And so this is something that when we look at this, this is something as a somewhat of a warning to the nation of Israel to not be disobedient to God.
- 01:36
- You're going through all the lives of the kings, most of which were disobedient to God, worshiping idols and wanting to be like the world.
- 01:44
- That lesson still applies to you and I today. There's a temptation to be like the world, but we must be obedient to God.
