A chronological study of the kings and prophets of divided Judah and Israel.
God brings out his good despite all of man's chaos. You might be hoping for this to be true in your life and for your family. Even in the darkest times, God is The God of all hope. This truth becomes clear in this chronological study which encompasses all or portions of 15 "books" in our Bible, covering 36 kings, 10 prophets who have their own "books" in the Bible, and other prophets whose words and actions are included in the histories of Kings and Chronicles.
The historical setting is after King David and his son King Solomon die, when the kingdom divides into what was called Israel in the north (10 tribes) and Judah in the south (comprised of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin). After about 345 years both kingdoms had been conquered. People were forcibly removed from their homes and carried into exile. This study's coverage includes some of the prophecy applicable for the future of those in exile and beyond.
God reveals over generations that humans always fail – even the best. Actions have consequences! At the end of the day, season, and life, the only thing that matters is God's opinion, not man's. God reveals that we need outside help – not a human ruler or king, but a divine one who truly knows us and faithfully does what is right.
