Chronicles 1-9 Names
When
first and second chronicles were first written they were written as one book. The
author was supposed to have been Ezra but of this they were not certain. These
books are primarily a repeat of first and second kings which begins with the genealogies
from Adam to King David in the land of Judah.
These
names belong to real people who once lived on this earth. Now most of them are
forgotten, their names buried in an ancient list. One day you will be a name
and a record filed somewhere. History may forget you, but heaven never will.
These
names were written on earth because these people were born on earth. The most
vital listing is in heaven. The name of those who have been born again through
faith in Jesus Christ. Is your name written there?
These
names belong to what we would call ordinary people they were not all great men
of faith like Abraham and David, but they all played a part in the working out
of God's plan in this world. You may not consider yourself of consequence, but
you are. Every child of God has a place in God’s heart and in His plan. Make
yourself available to him for the task he wants you to do, no matter how humble
or unrecognized it may seem to you or to others. These names belong to Jews,
one nation, called of God to witness for Him in a dark and wicked world. they
were not always faithful, but through them, the world received witness of the
one true and living God. They gave us the written word of God, and in due time,
they gave us the Savior. If nothing else, pause to give thanks for Israel, and “pray
for the peace of Jerusalem.” Psalm 122:6
Please read the chapter listed so that you can
understand God’s Word better.
