    2 Chronicles 28:22-25 Even during this time of trouble, King Ahaz continued to reject the Lord. He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus who had defeated him, for he said, “Since these gods helped the kings of Aram, they will help me, too, if I sacrifice to them.” But instead, they led to his ruin and the ruin of all Judah. 2 Chronicles 28:22-25 The king took the various articles from the Temple of God and broke them into pieces. He shut the doors of the Lord’s Temple so that no one could worship there, and he set up altars to pagan gods in every corner of Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 28:22-25 He made pagan shrines in all the towns of Judah for offering sacrifices to other gods. In this way, he aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of his ancestors. 2 Chronicles 29:3-11 In the very first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah reopened the doors of the Temple of the Lord and repaired them. He summoned the priests and Levites to meet him at the courtyard east of the Temple. 2 Chronicles 29:3-11 He said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Purify yourselves, and purify the Temple of the Lord, the God of your ancestors. Remove all the defiled things from the sanctuary. Our ancestors were unfaithful and did what was evil in the sight of the Lord our God. 2 Chronicles 29:3-11 They abandoned the Lord and his dwelling place; they turned their backs on him.

  • Journeys Through the Bible #11. the Books of Chronicles
    JOURNEYS THROUGH THE BIBLE #11. THE BOOKS OF CHRONICLES 1. Chronicles is the story of events in Israel’s monarchy. In our English Bible, it is divided into two books, First and Second Chronicles. The account was considered one book in the earliest Hebrew manuscripts, but was divided into two books when the translation of the book into Greek occurred (200BC). The Latin Vulgate (400AD) is the source for the name Chronicles, which is the shortened version of The Chronicles of Entire Sacred History. 2. The author, according to strong Jewish tradition, is Ezra (Ezra 7:1-6). 3. The Date: Chronicles ends with events of 586BC. The compilation was probably written around 450BC, possible as late as 400BC. 4. Key Chapters 1 Chronicles o Chapters 1:1-9:44 - is the genealogical record of Israel. o Chapters 10:1-29:30 - is the story of King David. 2 Chronicles o Chapters 1:1-9:31 - is the story of King Solomon. o Chapters 10:1- 36:23 - is the history of the Southern Kingdom (Judah). 5. Key Verses 1 Chronicles 14:2 NASB And David realized that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was highly exalted, for the sake of His people Israel. 1 Chronicles 17:9-15 NASB I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and not be moved again; and the wicked will not waste them anymore as formerly, 10even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel.

    SERMON ON 2 CHRONICLES 30: 1, 10-20 @CHRIST CHURCH SOUTH by Daniel Odhiambo For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Prayer. What is required for us to realise a robust and true worship? What is required for revival? Our passage today begins with an admission of spiritual dryness, so to speak. v.2 for they could not keep it at that time. The Passover celebration v.5 for they had not kept it as often as prescribed. They could not; they had not! But then look at v.21: And the people of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept cthe Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great gladness, and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with all their might2 to the LORD. 22 And Hezekiah spoke dencouragingly to all the Levites who showed good skill in the service of the LORD. So they ate the food of the festival for seven days, sacrificing epeace offerings and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers. In fact, at the end of these seven days, the assembly actually agreed to continue for another 7 days. What is required to bring about spiritual awakening? Context: It’s 100years since last week with King Joash and 4 kings have passed: Amariah, Uzziah, Jotham and Ahaz. Their CV is terrible. It’s an escalation of failure climaxing at Ahaz who is the most wicked.

  • 2 Chronicles 1
    The Second Book Of The Chronicles The Argument This second book containeth briefly in effect that, which is comprehended in the two books of the Kings: that is, from the reign of Solomon to the destruction of Jerusalem, and the carrying away of the people captive into Babylon. In this story are certain things declared and set forth more copiously than in the books of the Kings, and therefore serve greatly to the understanding of the Prophets. But three things are here chiefly to be considered. First, that the godly kings, when they saw the plagues of God prepared against their country for sin, had recourse to the Lord, and by earnest prayer were heard, and the plagues removed. The second, how it is a thing that greatly offendeth God, how the good rulers ever loved the Prophets of God, and were very zealous to set forth his religion throughout all their dominions, and contrariwise, the wicked hated his ministers, deposed them, and for the true religion and word of God, set up idolatry, and served God according to the fantasy of men. Thus have we hitherto the chief acts from the beginning of the world to the building again of Jerusalem, which was the two and thirtieth year of Darius, and contain in the whole, three thousand, five hundred, threescore and eighteen years, and six months. 2 Chronicles 1......................................................................................................................... 3 2 Chronicles 2........................................................................................................................

Hezekiah’s reforms (18:1-8). Notes 2 Kings 14:23-29 • The chapter closes with a brief notice of the 41 year reign of Jeroboam II. The era of Jeroboam and Azariah would mark a significant change in the fortunes of God’s people. These would be days of unparalleled prosperity for the two kingdoms, both economically and politically. Indeed, together they would acquire nearly the same territorial areas as in the days of the united monarchy. • The reign of Jeroboam II was the longest of any Israelite king. Jeroboam’s external accomplishments were many. In accordance with an unrecorded prophecy of Jonah, Jeroboam fully restored the borders of Israel so that they extended from the entrance of Hamath (located in the great Beqa Valley amid the Lebanese Mountains south of Hamath) to the Sea of Arabah (or Dead Sea).

In the last couple of weeks, we are in the historical books section of the Old Testament that talks about the kings who ruled in Israel and Judah. Today, I have a graphic that will help us to see the big picture of the kings. Show Kings of Israel & Judah graphic There will not be a test on this later. This is just an aid to help you understand the OT a little better. Saul is the first king. He was not a good king, hence the black graphic next to his name. Then God chose David. David is a man after God’s heart. He is a white king. Then when David dies, his son Solomon becomes king. Solomon starts out faithful to God, but then strays. Then Solomon’s son Rehoboam becomes king. But, shortly after Rehoboam is crowned, there is a civil war against him over forced labor. And the kingdom splits. 10 tribes in the north breakaway and make someone called Jeroboam king And then they are then called Israel. 2 tribes in the south, and all the Levites, stay with Rehoboam and they are called Judah. Both sides go on to have 20 kings for a total of 40 kings. All the kings in the north in Israel are unfaithful to the Lord. They are all coded black. The kings in the south in Judah – some are faithful.

  • 2 CHRONICLES 30 Vs 1 KJV-Lite™ VERSES
    2 CHRONICLES 30 vs 1 KJV-lite™ VERSES www.ilibros.net/KJV-lite.html The Bible is so interesting; even the Old Testament. Remember: when reading the 1st and 2nd Chronicles… we read history and events recorded from the perspective of the 2 tribes of the Southern Kingdom, the House of Judah; not when reading 1st and 2nd Kings… where we read the historical perspective of the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom… the House of Israel. Hezekiah Celebrates the Passover, 1 Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, inviting them to come to the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel. 2 The king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem decided to celebrate the Passover in the second month. 3 They had not been able to celebrate it at the regular time because not enough priests had consecrated themselves and the people had not assembled in Jerusalem. 4 The plan seemed right both to the king and to the whole assembly. 5 They decided to send a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, calling the people to come to Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel. It had not been celebrated in large numbers according to what was written. 6 At the kings command, couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the king and from his officials, which read: People of Israel, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, that He may return to you who are left, who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.
