Through the book of Chronicles we
get the history of the Jewish nation. It begins with Adam and goes through the genealogy
of Israel. It continues through all the 12 tribes of Israel. Through this
nation our Lord came to earth. God chose this people for the fulfilment of his
great promises and purposes. He is still their God (Romans 11:1) and he has his
purposes yet to be fulfilled in them. 1 Chronicles ends with Solomon reigning
as the King of Israel.
In second Chronicles, we see
great revivals
- · Asa – 2 Chronicles 15
- · Jehoshaphat – 2 Chronicles 20
- · Joash – 2 Chronicles 23-24
- · Hezekiah – 2 Chronicles 29-31
- · Josiah – 2 Chronicles 35
2 Chronicles begins with the
reign of King Solomon and goes on with the split of Israel into two kingdoms
and ends up with the beginning of Babylonian captivity. Jesus Christ is portrayed
as King in the books of Kings and Chronicles.
These books are a revision of the
previous books. Hope this will encourage you and revise how God will lead you
when you are chosen.
