2nd. Chronicles

 

2^nd. Chronicles

This Chronicle opens with the reign of Solomon and describes the kings of Judah from the division of the kingdom to the captivity.

These two books were very important to the Jews who returned to Jerusalem. The genealogy was significant to the priests. The people needed David’s example of godliness and the much needed temple.

Nothing symbolized God’s presence among His people more than the temple.

When Hezekiah ruled he repaired and purified the temple and reinstated worship in Jerusalem. When Josiah became King he destroyed the idols, repaired the temple again and led the people to a renewed devotion to the covenant and to God.

God sent the Babylonians to destroy Jerusalem when they chose to worship idols. The temple was burned down during the reign of the last King of Judah, Zedekiah.

God later moved the Persian King Cyrus to allow the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple.

“Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you…..therefore glorify God in your body and in your Spirit.” I Corinthians 6:19,20.

God purchased you with the blood of Jesus Christ.
