Three & One

Families from long ago. Families of Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Asher and Saul. All Israel was recorded as the remnant returns to rebuild and restore. And, all the unrighteous are invited to receive God’s righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ.

Families from long ago. Families of Judah, Simeon, Reuben, Gad, Manasseh, Levi and Aaron. And, Paul talks about how the Jews were just as guilty, before a holy God, as the Gentiles were.

Families from Adam to Abraham. Families of Ishmael, Keturah, Isaac, Seir, Edom, Israel, Hezron, Jerhmeel, Caleb, David, Solomon and Jeconiah, as Ezra reassures the remnant. And Paul speaks on wrath and righteousness to the Romans.

Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, is sent to take control, leading to taking Judah into captivity. All the while, the last few kings of Judah go from bad to worse, inspiring prophecy and fulfilling prophecy. And, the Apostle Paul ministers on Malta and in Rome.

An eight year old becomes king, a good king. Josiah repairs the temple, recovers the Scriptures, reads the Scriptures, removes all of the idolatry and restores worship. And, the Apostle Paul encounters an intense storm on his way to Rome.

Lies, intimidation, and the enemy, extinguished by the Lord with the truth. Hezekiah pleads for more time. God gives it. But, was that for the best? And, the Apostle Paul gives the gospel to King Agrippa.

Israel is taken captive to Assyria. Assyria resettles the land of Samaria. Hezekiah reigns in Judah. He REMOVES the high places. He receives his first test as king. And, the Apostle Paul appeals to Caesar.

Kings, kings and more kings, evil in the North, partially obedient in the South. Elisha dies. God is full of goodness and severity. And, the Apostle Paul shares the good news with the governor, Felix.

Death and destruction reign during the reign of Jehu. During the reign of Jehu in the North, a seven year old named Jehoash is crowned king in the South. Jehoash walked in the ways of the Lord, mostly. And, the Apostle Paul testifies before the Sanhedrin.

A siege ends. A severe famine ends at one word from the Lord. Lepers give the good news. God’s timing is perfect. Hazael hatches an awful plan. Evil kings in the north. Wicked kings in the south. Jezebel dies in Jezreel. And, the Apostle Paul gives his testimony in Jerusalem.
