1 Kings

Book: 1 Kings

Aug 20

The plot of 1 and 2 Kings is on the pattern of the plots of the Bible and of all the individual delivers that God (the Protagonist) has enlisted to serve Him as representative. They are equipped in the setting, given (or repeated) the promise, and then they fail by giving into the deceit of Satan, repeating the act of their father Adam and his father, Satan. God then judges them (and the nation) and then, in their failure the only hope is the promise of Messiah, yet to come. The story is always incomplete, leaving room for the ultimate validation in the appearance of Messiah and His resurrection from the dead following a perfectly representative life.
