1 & 2 Chronicles

Aug 18

The purpose of 1 Chronicles is that of demonstrating God’s preparation of a line from Adam through the promised Abraham, through the chosen David, through the work of a nation to prepare the temple of God.

The purpose of 2 Chronicles is to examine the continuance of the temple order in the declining kingdom. All who respect God’s commandments with regard to the temple worship are blessed. Those who do not are not blessed. The book ends with the expectancy of the rebuilding of the temple at Jerusalem by the exiles, simply showing the continuance of the temple and its worship.
