1 Chronicles

My notes listening to Jack Abeelen on 1 Chronicles

Babylonian captivity--606 BC to 536 BC, 70 years total

Chronicles adds to the historical account of this time, official records.

God gives us the large view at times, then comes back and gives us specific lessons.

Deuteronomy is an interpretation and application of the law after 40 years of wilderness experience.

Focus:
1) lineage of  God--from Adam to David to Jesus, generational, watch the way the Lord fulfilled His promise
2) God's covenants--temple, meeting, worship of God

1 Chronicles-emphasis on David
2 Chronicles--emphasis on David's posterity

Chapters 1-10

At the end, historically we'll be at Ezra and Nehemiah, though he's recently covered those, so will jump to Revelation.

Best to read the prophets when going through this history.
