Survey of the books of 1& 2 Chronicles

Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.

This is the ministry of Striving for Eternity. The books of 1st and 2nd

Chronicles, now this again is one of the books that as we look in the Old Testament, this is known as just Chronicles.

There is no 1st and 2nd Chronicles. Now, this traditionally has been assumed to have been written by Ezra.

Why is that important? Well, this puts it after the captivity of 70 years.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
