Deuteronomy Chapters 8-9, Remember The Lord Your God And Don't Forget Your Sinful Rebellion Against Him, The Word of God is food; manna; the Fathers Discipline; shema; Christ’s righteousness and and our righteousness; today; stubborn people
A verse by verse commentary on DEUTERONOMY 8 dealing with God teaching His people that "man does not live by bread alone," and that they will only live and prosper by living in obedience to His laws.
God appeared to Solomon in a dream and offered to give him whatever he desired. Rather than asking for wealth or long life, Solomon humbly asked for wisdom to judge God's people rightly. Pleased by this request, God gave Solomon great wisdom beyond all others. To demonstrate his wisdom, Solomon resolved a dispute between two women over a baby by threatening to divide the living child in two, revealing the true mother who refused this division to save the baby's life. The judgment of Solomon in this case spread his fame for wisdom throughout Israel.

Joshua gathered the tribes of Israel and reminded them of all that God had done for their fathers and for them. He recounted how God brought them out of Egypt and gave them the promised land despite the other peoples living there. Joshua told the people to fear and serve only God, not other gods. The people agreed to serve only God. Joshua warned that God is holy and jealous, and would not forgive their sins if they turned to other gods. But the people remained committed to serving only God and obeying his voice.
The Israelites demanded a king to rule over them like the other nations, despite Samuel warning them this was a rejection of God as their king. God told Samuel to appoint a king for them. The document provides historical context about the period of judges in Israel and contrasts the qualities of a godly king described in Deuteronomy versus the type of oppressive king the Israelites would get by rejecting God. It examines how worldviews influence decision making and contrasts a biblical worldview with a secular humanist view.
Journey Through The Bible Part 11: The Glory and Tragedy of SolomonResurrection Church
Solomon began his reign as the wisest and wealthiest king in the world, due to his request to God for wisdom. However, he failed to fully obey God's commands. He accumulated hundreds of wives from foreign nations, which turned his heart away from the Lord. He also focused more on building his own palace rather than the temple. By the end of his life, Solomon worshipped other gods. As a result, God divided the kingdom after Solomon's death, separating the northern and southern kingdoms. Small sins and wrong attitudes, if not addressed, can lead even the wisest of people away from fully following God.
Samuel gives a farewell address to the Israelites after appointing Saul as their first king. He reminds them that God has been their true king and protector in the past. Samuel demonstrates God's continued authority over Israel by calling down thunder and rain to destroy their wheat harvest. He exhorts the people to continue obeying and serving God despite now having an earthly king. This passage establishes the concept of separating the roles and functions of civil government (the king) from religious authority (priests, judges and prophets), a principle that carried over into the New Testament church.

Solomon became king after his father David. He made an alliance with Egypt by marrying the Pharaoh's daughter, which some think was a mistake. Solomon loved God but sacrificed at high places instead of the temple, displeasing God. God appeared to Solomon and told him to ask for anything. Humble Solomon only asked for wisdom to lead God's people well. Pleased by his selfless request, God gave Solomon great wisdom and understanding, as well as riches and honor.
The document summarizes the story of Elijah being fed by ravens during a drought judgment from God. It describes how Elijah, called by God to deliver a message of judgment on Israel for their sins, hides by the brook Cherith where ravens bring him food. The brook eventually dries up due to the ongoing lack of rain, in keeping with Elijah's prophecy that there would be no rain except by his word.
The document contains passages from the Bible discussing King Jehoram of Israel, Elisha the prophet, and the use of music in worship. It summarizes that King Jehoram went to war against Moab but there was no water for his army, so he consulted Elisha for help. Elisha told the king to bring a minstrel to play music, and when he did the hand of God came upon Elisha and he was able to provide water for the army. Other passages discuss how music was used in the temple and how God's glory filled the house when singers praised God with instruments.

Genesis 12 & 15: Grace to All (Second Baptist South Campus) Spring 2020Lazarou Richard
This Bible study class examines Genesis 12 and 15, focusing on God's promises to Abram and Abram's response of faith. The lesson objective is that God gives us grace in our suffering and doubts and declares us righteous through faith in Christ alone. The study looks at how God promised to make Abram a great nation but Abram doubted due to being childless in old age. God declared that Abram's offspring would be as numerous as the stars, and Abram believed this, counting it to him as righteousness. The discussion emphasizes that we are saved by grace through faith, not works.
The Reubenites, Gadites and half the tribe of Manasseh built an altar by the Jordan River after being given land east of the river. This alarmed the other Israelite tribes who gathered to go to war against them, thinking they had turned away from God. A delegation investigated and the tribes explained the altar was merely a witness to future generations that they too worshipped God, not for sacrifices which were only permitted at the tabernacle altar. The explanation satisfied the others and the altar was named "Witness."
The document summarizes several Bible passages about healing from illness or disease. It describes how Jesus healed many who were sick or possessed by unclean spirits just by their touching him. It also tells the story of ten men with leprosy who were healed after asking Jesus for mercy, with only one returning to give thanks. Finally, it recounts how the prophet Elisha instructed the Syrian general Naaman to wash in the Jordan River seven times to be healed of his leprosy, which he did, resulting in his being cleansed of the disease.
- Samuel gives a farewell address to Israel after appointing Saul as their first king, marking the beginning of separating the functions of church and state.
- Samuel demonstrates God's continuing authority by calling down rain to destroy the wheat harvest.
- The sermon discusses how this separation of powers began in the Old Testament and continues into the New Testament church, with the state responsible for civil matters and the church responsible for spiritual matters.
- Baptists believe in a full separation of church and state, with neither controlling the other, but both accountable to God. Religious liberty is a core distinctive.
1) David subdued neighboring kingdoms and consolidated power over Israel. He showed kindness to Mephibosheth, the grandson of his friend Jonathan.
2) David committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged the death of her husband Uriah to cover it up. Nathan the prophet confronted David about his sin.
3) God forgave David's sin but the child born from the adulterous relationship became ill and died as consequences of David's actions. David repented deeply.
Daniel prayed earnestly for Israel's sins to be forgiven and the desolation of Jerusalem to end. While praying, the angel Gabriel appeared and told Daniel that God had heard his prayer. Gabriel was sent to give Daniel insight and understanding about future events. Daniel's example shows that God answers the prayers of those who pray fervently and confess their sins and the sins of their people. Believers today face difficulties and need to pray with the same intensity and faith that God will answer their prayers as well.
This document provides a summary of 1 Kings 20, which describes a confrontation between Ahab, king of Israel, and Benhadad, king of Syria. Initially, Ahab immediately surrenders to Benhadad's demands to take all his possessions and family. However, after the elders counsel Ahab not to give in, Ahab finds courage to tell Benhadad's messengers he will not comply fully with the demands. The document analyzes Ahab's actions, noting that when he turned away from God, he became cowardly, but finding strength when reconnecting with God and taking the elders' advice.
1) The Israelites were oppressed by the Midianites for 7 years due to their disobedience to God. They cried out to God for help.
2) God sent a prophet to remind the Israelites that He had delivered them in the past but they had not obeyed. The prophet called the people to repentance.
3) While Gideon was hiding and working hard to thresh wheat in secret, an angel called him a mighty man of valor and said God was with him, even though Gideon saw himself as fearful and lacking in faith.
Ashdod was one of the five major Philistine cities located along the Mediterranean coast. The people of Ashdod worshipped Dagon, a fish-god idol, and attempted to integrate their worship of Dagon with worship of the God of Israel by bringing the Ark of God to the temple of Dagon. However, God demonstrated his power over Dagon by causing the idol to fall and break before the Ark. Integration with false gods leads to their mineralization and the demise of those who worship them, as integrating foreign beliefs corrupts and destroys God's people. God will judge those who worship other gods and integrate false beliefs.
The document provides historical context leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ. It discusses how Israel was taken into captivity due to disobedience, and God's faithfulness in bringing them back according to his promises. It outlines the political landscape under Persian and Greek rule, and the various religious groups that emerged like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Samaritans. The document then discusses the Roman conquest and their governance over Judea through a puppet king Herod. The Jewish people were awaiting the coming of the Messiah to restore David's throne, fulfilling prophecies that the deliverer was coming.
1. The prophet Isaiah has a vision of God on his throne surrounded by angels calling out his holiness.
2. Isaiah acknowledges his own unworthiness and sinfulness in God's presence.
3. Isaiah volunteers in response to God's call for someone to bring his message to the people.
The document summarizes a sermon about the Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon, drawing parallels between her long journey to learn from his wisdom and the importance of regularly attending church services to learn from God. The Queen of Sheba traveled 1200 miles to hear Solomon's wisdom, yet many ignore opportunities to learn from God by attending church, where they can hear His word and wisdom through preaching and fellowship with other believers.
The document is a Christian hymn titled "Follow Me the Master Said" from 1887. It consists of 4 verses where the singer commits to following Jesus no matter what obstacles come in the way. They will follow Jesus through His word and spirit, knowing He intercedes for them. They will follow Him even if the world opposes, as He is greater than any troubles. They will follow Jesus along the pathway He makes clear, with His help in daily life and prayers. The goal is to one day receive eternal life from Jesus when He says "Well done."
The document discusses several biblical passages that illustrate the high cost of ignoring God. It describes how the Israelites faced obstacles in conquering the Promised Land due to their disobedience but were able to take the land when obedient. It also discusses how Solomon, Manasseh and others led Israel away from God through their actions and how prophets foretold judgment for lack of knowledge and obedience.
The document discusses the importance of having a heart that is devoted to God in order to be a good leader. It describes how Saul initially started well as king but failed because he did not fully keep God's commandments. In contrast, God found David to be a man after His own heart because David was entirely submitted to God's will. True obedience and leadership comes from having one's heart aligned with God's through developing a close devotional life with Him.
Solomon became king after his father David. He made an alliance with Egypt by marrying the Pharaoh's daughter, which some think was a mistake. Solomon loved God but sacrificed at high places instead of the temple, displeasing God. God appeared to Solomon and told him to ask for anything. Humble Solomon only asked for wisdom to lead God's people well. Pleased by his selfless request, God gave Solomon great wisdom and understanding, as well as riches and honor.

The document provides an overview and summary of 2 Samuel 7:1-17, which establishes God's covenant with King David. It discusses how Nathan initially told David he could build a temple, but God later told Nathan the promises made to David. God promised to make David's name great, give Israel rest from enemies, establish David's kingdom forever, and that one of David's descendants would build a temple for God's name. The document also summarizes the 5 unconditional covenants God made: Noahic, Abrahamic, Levitical, Davidic, and New Covenants, and how they relate to God's plan to unite all things in Christ.
1. King Solomon, the wisest man who once feared the Lord, strayed from his wisdom and God's commands by developing insatiable appetites for wealth and women later in life.
2. His heart became turned away from fully devoted to God, and he engaged in idolatry by worshipping the false gods of his many foreign wives.
3. The lessons are that no one is immune from temptation, no position or privileges can protect from sin, and sin can gradually creep in if one is not vigilant and committed to resisting it at all times.
The document summarizes passages from Genesis and Deuteronomy describing God's commands and promises to Abram and the Israelites. It discusses how God promised to make Abram into a great nation and bless all people through him, but also warned the Israelites not to forget God or disobey his commands, lest they perish like other nations before them. The document questions what relevance places like Ai and Bethel have for the reader today.
This document discusses wisdom and its relationship to living an abundant life through several examples from the Bible. It describes how Solomon was given great wisdom by God but did not fully follow God's ways as he grew older. While Solomon had wisdom, he did not apply it correctly in his life by taking many foreign wives who turned him to other gods. The document emphasizes that having wisdom is not enough - one must use wisdom properly and follow God fully to live abundantly.

The document contains summaries of several Bible passages. It discusses the Parable of the Wheat and Tares, about allowing both wheat and weeds to grow together until harvest.

Moses recounts to the Israelites the laws and commandments that God had given them. He reminds them of their history, including their rebellion in worshipping the golden calf after God delivered the Ten Commandments to them at Mount Sinai. However, God in his mercy had Moses carve two replacement stone tablets. Moses exhorts the Israelites to fear and obey God by keeping his commandments for their own good, as God had brought them out of Egypt and given them the promised land.

The document provides an overview of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on June 24, 2018. The sermon focused on God's covenant with King David as described in 2 Samuel 7:1-17. It discusses how this Davidic covenant, along with the Noahic, Abrahamic, Levitical, and New covenants, are part of God's overall plan to unite all things under Christ.
Asa was the third king of Judah who reigned for 41 years in Jerusalem. He did what was right in God's eyes by removing idols and sodomites from the land, unlike previous kings. When a large Ethiopian army of one million men and 300 chariots came against Asa's army of 580,000 men, Asa prayed to God for help. God defeated the Ethiopians, and Asa and his men pursued them, gaining much spoil. Asa turned the people back to righteousness and seeking the Lord, and the land had peace during his reign.

This document provides an overview of the biblical book of 1 Samuel. It discusses Samuel's role as a prophet who helped bring rebirth to Israel during a dark time. It describes how the people rejected God and demanded a king, leading Samuel to anoint Saul as the first king. However, Saul disobeyed God and his kingdom was taken away. The document concludes by introducing David, who God chose to be king after Saul despite facing trials and threats from Saul.

The document lists seven things that infuriate God or are considered abominations according to the Bible: 1) Sodomy, 2) Fornication, 3) Friendship with the world, 4) Transgender cross dressers, 5) Tolerance for evil, 6) Wizards, 7) Refusal to repent (Calvinism). It states that God will judge those who commit such abominations and will settle accounts for them in His own time, not man's.

Paul Davis will be ordained to preach next Sunday. There will be a dinner afterward at a nearby voting precinct. The church will provide meat and drinks, while others bring sides or desserts. No evening service that day. On February 12, worship will be led at 6pm and all are invited to attend and be blessed.
The document contains several biblical passages from the Old and New Testaments. It discusses themes of obeying God over other gods, rejecting God by rejecting his prophets and commandments, Israel's unfaithfulness in turning to idolatry, Jesus as the light of the world and his teachings, Paul's teachings on love and salvation through Christ, and calls to be holy as God is holy and to spread his message.
Jesus resurrected from the dead on the first day of the week, Sunday. His disciples and Mary Magdalene discovered his tomb was empty and saw angels who said Jesus had risen. Jesus later appeared to his disciples and others, proving he had been resurrected with a glorified, physical body. His resurrection ensures that all who believe in him will also be resurrected to eternal life. Jesus then ascended to heaven and will one day return in the same way.
The document discusses Jesus' crucifixion according to the Gospels of Mark and Matthew. It describes how Jesus was betrayed by Judas, arrested, and brought before the high priest and Pontius Pilate. Though found innocent, he was sentenced to death by crucifixion due to the urging of the high priests who were envious of him. While on the cross, Jesus endured great physical suffering and cried out feeling abandoned by God. With his final words "It is finished," he gave up his spirit, and with his death the veil of the temple was torn signifying access to God.
- Jesus knew that Judas would betray him, as it was foretold in scripture. At the last supper, Jesus troubled by what would happen, told the disciples one of them would betray him. He identified Judas by giving him a piece of bread dipped in broth. After receiving the bread, Satan entered Judas and he went out to betray Jesus to the chief priests. Though Jesus loved Judas, his betrayal was part of God's plan to fulfill scripture and bring about salvation for mankind.
The document discusses Jesus' ministry according to the Gospel of Matthew. It notes that Jesus began his public ministry after being tempted, and mentions John the Baptist being imprisoned. It then summarizes Jesus moving to Capernaum and preaching there, fulfilling a prophecy about Galilee. Jesus preached that people should repent, as the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The document asks several questions about Jesus' message and ministry, including his healing of a paralytic and calling of Levi.
John the Baptist preached a message of repentance in preparation for the coming of the Messiah. Jesus, though sinless, was baptized by John to fulfill all righteousness. He was then led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan. Jesus overcame the temptations by relying on scripture, demonstrating His identity as the Son of God and obedience to God over Satan.
The document describes Jesus's birth and early life as recounted in the gospels of Luke and Matthew. It discusses his conception by the Holy Spirit, birth in Bethlehem, presentation at the temple where Simeon and Anna recognize him as the Messiah, and childhood spent in Nazareth. When Jesus is 12 years old, he lingers in the temple discussing scripture with religious teachers, astonishing them with his wisdom. Mary and Joseph are anxious to find him after assuming he was with their caravan, but Jesus says he must be about his "Father's business," revealing his identity as the Son of God.
God instructed Moses to build a sanctuary called the tabernacle so that God could dwell among the Israelites. The tabernacle consisted of an outer sanctuary and an inner most holy place separated by a veil. Only the high priest could enter the most holy place once a year on Yom Kippur with blood sacrifices to atone for sins. The tabernacle and its furnishings, including the ark of the covenant, were built according to God's precise instructions. The tabernacle services involved animal sacrifices on the altar, which pointed to the need for blood atonement but did not ultimately take away sins.
For some they were plagues; for others just wonders

The document discusses God's calling of Abram and the promises He made to him. It notes that God called Abram to leave his country and family and go to a new land, promising to make him a great nation and bless all people through him. Abram obeyed God and traveled to Canaan with his wife Sarai, nephew Lot, and possessions. God appeared to Abram, reiterated His promise of the land, and Abram built altars in response. The document examines Abram's faith and trust in God's promises despite uncertainties about having descendants, given his and Sarai's age.
The futile intent of men to make a reputation for themselves and enter eternity.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. - What was God’s desire for Israel?
- Did He want to be their King?
- Why did Israel want to be like all the other nations?
3. - Was it too difficult to love God?
- Who did God appoint to be King over Israel?
4. 1 Samuel 5:1-4
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron
and spoke, saying, “Indeed we are your bone and your
flesh. Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us,
you were the one who led Israel out and brought them
in; and the LORD said to you, ‘You shall shepherd My
people Israel, and be ruler over Israel.’” Therefore all
the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and
King David made a covenant with them at Hebron
before the LORD. And they anointed David king over
Israel. David was thirty years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned forty years.
5. - Did the people of Israel know who God appointed?
- Why was Saul then usurping the throne?
6. 1 Samuel 7:8-17
Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David,
‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “I took you from the
sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over
My people, over Israel. And I have been with you
wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your
enemies from before you, and have made you a great
name, like the name of the great men who are on the
earth. Moreover I will appoint a place for My people
Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a
place of their own and move no more;
7. 1 Samuel 7:8-17
nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them
anymore, as previously, since the time that I
commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and
have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the
LORD tells you that He will make you a house. “When
your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers,
I will set up your seed after you, who will come from
your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall
build a house for My name, and I will establish the
throne of his kingdom forever.
8. 1 Samuel 7:8-17
I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he
commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men
and with the blows of the sons of men. But My mercy
shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom
I removed from before you. And your house and your
kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your
throne shall be established forever.”’” According to all
these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan
spoke to David.
9. - Who is God talking about?
- How can God be the father of David’s son?
10. - Did the promise seed descend from David?
- How was His kingdom going to be established forever?
12. 1 Samuel 7:18-29
Then King David went in and sat before the LORD; and
he said: “Who am I, O Lord GOD? And what is my house,
that You have brought me this far? And yet this was a
small thing in Your sight, O Lord GOD; and You have also
spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to
come. Is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD? Now
what more can David say to You? For You, Lord GOD,
know Your servant. For Your word’s sake, and according
to Your own heart, You have done all these great things,
to make Your servant know them. Therefore You are
great, O Lord GOD. For there is none like You, nor is
there any God besides You, according to all that we have
heard with our ears.
13. 1 Samuel 7:18-29
And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation
on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a
people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for
Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—
before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself
from Egypt, the nations, and their gods? For You have
made Your people Israel Your very own people forever;
and You, LORD, have become their God. “Now, O LORD
God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your
servant and concerning his house, establish it forever
and do as You have said. So let Your name be magnified
forever, saying, ‘The LORD of hosts is the God over
Israel.’
14. 1 Samuel 7:18-29
And let the house of Your servant David be established
before You. For You, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, have
revealed this to Your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a
house.’ Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart
to pray this prayer to You. “And now, O Lord GOD, You
are God, and Your words are true, and You have
promised this goodness to Your servant. Now therefore,
let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that
it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord GOD,
have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of
Your servant be blessed forever.”
15. - Did David know God?
- Can we notice a difference with Saul?
16. - Is there a personal relation between God and David?
- Who inherited David’s throne?
17. 1 Kings 3:3-5
And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the
statutes of his father David, except that he
sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for
that was the great high place: Solomon offered a
thousand burnt offerings on that altar. At Gibeon
the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night;
and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”
18. - Did Solomon follow in his father steps?
- What were those sacrifices in high places?
- What did God tell him?
19. 1 Kings 3:6-10
And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to
Your servant David my father, because he walked
before You in truth, in righteousness, and in
uprightness of heart with You; You have continued
this great kindness for him, and You have given him a
son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. Now, O LORD
my God, You have made Your servant king instead of
my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know
how to go out or come in. And Your servant is in the
midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great
people, too numerous to be numbered or counted.
20. 1 Kings 3:6-10
Therefore give to Your servant an understanding
heart to judge Your people, that I may discern
between good and evil. For who is able to judge this
great people of Yours?” The speech pleased the
Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
21. - Why did Solomon ask for wisdom
instead of riches and power?
- What do you need to have in order to ask in this manner?
22. - Was Solomon being Humble?
- Had he a personal relation with God?
- How did it go to Solomon with the gift of wisdom?
23. 1 Kings 11:1-6
But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well
as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites,
Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites— from
the nations of whom the LORD had said to the
children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them,
nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your
hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in
love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses,
and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned
away his heart.
24. 1 Kings 11:1-6
For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives
turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was
not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his
father David. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the
goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the
abomination of the Ammonites. Solomon did evil in
the sight of the LORD, and did not fully follow the
LORD, as did his father David.
25. - Did Solomon follow the ways of his father David?
- Did God approve his behavior?
- Who is this goddess Ashtoreth?
Ashtoreth, the goddess of erotic love, fertility, and feminine dominance.
26. - Is there people today worshipping this goddess?
- Can men do what is right before God?
- What happens when we turn our hearts away from God?
- Can we repent if our heart is astray?
27. 1 Kings 11:9-13
So the LORD became angry with Solomon, because his
heart had turned from the LORD God of Israel, who
had appeared to him twice, and had commanded him
concerning this thing, that he should not go after
other gods; but he did not keep what the LORD had
commanded. Therefore the LORD said to Solomon,
“Because you have done this, and have not kept My
covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded
you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and
give it to your servant.
28. 1 Kings 11:9-13
Nevertheless I will not do it in your days, for the sake
of your father David; I will tear it out of the hand of
your son. However I will not tear away the whole
kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for the sake
of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem
which I have chosen.”
29. - What was God’s judgment?
- What do we observe from God?
- Why is God showing Him mercy?
- Was God faithful to David or to His promise?
30. - Will God have mercy on our children
if we are faithful to Him?
- What happened after God divided the kingdom?
31. 2 Kings 17:4-13
And the king of Assyria uncovered a conspiracy by
Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So, king of
Egypt, and brought no tribute to the king of Assyria, as
he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria
shut him up, and bound him in prison. Now the king of
Assyria went throughout all the land, and went up to
Samaria and besieged it for three years. In the ninth
year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and
carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in
Halah and by the Habor, the River of Gozan, and in the
cities of the Medes.
32. 2 Kings 17:4-13
For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned
against the LORD their God, who had brought them up
out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of
Pharaoh king of Egypt; and they had feared other gods,
and had walked in the statutes of the nations whom
the LORD had cast out from before the children of
Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
Also the children of Israel secretly did against the LORD
their God things that were not right, and they built for
themselves high places in all their cities, from
watchtower to fortified city.
33. 2 Kings 17:4-13
They set up for themselves sacred pillars and wooden
images on every high hill and under every green tree.
There they burned incense on all the high places, like the
nations whom the LORD had carried away before them;
and they did wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger,
for they served idols, of which the LORD had said to
them, “You shall not do this thing.” Yet the LORD testified
against Israel and against Judah, by all of His prophets,
every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways, and keep
My commandments and My statutes, according to all the
law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to
you by My servants the prophets.”
34. - What was God doing? Was He judging?
- What did God tell Israel through His prophets?
- Did He warn Israel before it happen?
35. - Could Israel repent from his evil ways?
- Was David’s inheritance of the kingdom doing better?
36. Jeremiah 32:26-30
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there
anything too hard for Me? Therefore thus says the
LORD: ‘Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the
Chaldeans, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon, and he shall take it. And the Chaldeans who
fight against this city shall come and set fire to this city
and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs they have
offered incense to Baal and poured out drink offerings
to other gods, to provoke Me to anger;
37. Jeremiah 32:26-30
because the children of Israel and the children of Judah
have done only evil before Me from their youth. For the
children of Israel have provoked Me only to anger with
the work of their hands,’ says the LORD.
38. - What was Jeremiah
prophesying over Jerusalem?
- Was God now passing
judgment over Judah?
- What was God’s plan
with Israel?
- Why did he keep Judah
apart from Israel?
- When and how did it happen?
39. 2 Kings 25:1-12
Now it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in
the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came
against Jerusalem and encamped against it; and they
built a siege wall against it all around. So the city was
besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. By
the ninth day of the fourth month the famine had
become so severe in the city that there was no food for
the people of the land. Then the city wall was broken
through, and all the men of war fled at night by way of
the gate between two walls, which was by the king’s
garden, even though the Chaldeans were still
encamped all around against the city.
40. 2 Kings 25:1-12
And the king went by way of the plain. But the army of
the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him
in the plains of Jericho. All his army was scattered from
him. So they took the king and brought him up to the
king of Babylon at Riblah, and they pronounced
judgment on him. Then they killed the sons of
Zedekiah before his eyes, put out the eyes of Zedekiah,
bound him with bronze fetters, and took him to
Babylon. And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of
the month (which was the nineteenth year of King
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan the
captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon,
came to Jerusalem.
41. 2 Kings 25:1-12
He burned the house of the LORD and the king’s
house; all the houses of Jerusalem, that is, all the
houses of the great, he burned with fire. And all the
army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of
the guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem all
around. Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard
carried away captive the rest of the people who
remained in the city and the defectors who had
deserted to the king of Babylon, with the rest of the
multitude. But the captain of the guard left some of
the poor of the land as vinedressers and farmers.
42. - Why God didn’t avoid the siege of Jerusalem?
- Can the Holiness and Judgment of God be mocked?
43. - Why did their captors leave some
of the people in their lands?
- Can God separate the innocent
in the middle of judgment?
45. WHAT DID WE LEARN TODAY?
- God desires to be King in our hearts.
- It is He who establish and remove the Kings of the earth.
- In order to please God, we must have a relationship based
in obedience and humility.
- True wisdom is found in meditating God’s word
and obeying its commands.
- The Judgment of God follows men’s disobedience
and rebellion.
- God delivers the innocent from judgment.
