1 & 2 Chronicles (Program #1) – An Introductory Word
The 12 books of history in the Old Testament occupy an unique portion in the Holy Scriptures. They give us the story of God’s chosen race Israel in some of their glorious times as well as show us the degradation and fall of God’s people to their lowest condition overtaken by idolatry and the hardness of their hearts. Ten of these books deal almost exclusively with Israel, God’s chosen people in the Old Testament. But the two books of Chronicles show us not only God’s move within the history of Israel but also His move within the history of the entire human race.
To fully understand the burden and get into the heart of these books, we need what the Apostle Paul prayed for in Ephesians and that is a spirit of wisdom and revelation and that the eyes of our heart would be enlightened that we could see how these are not just books of history but how these books are books of types and pictures that can more clearly reveal to us the very center of God’s heart desire, His eternal economy which is fully centered and focused on the excellent Christ.
