Speaker 1: you know, so I have recid Stolprahawed Vinni B. Talking
Speaker 1: about a creation. We live on the bottom, God is
Speaker 1: at the top. He also mentioned the sun, moon, and
Speaker 1: stars going in straight lines on a grid that involves portals.
Speaker 2: Vinnie B.
Speaker 1: Yes, I actually saw this gentleman talking about something like
Speaker 1: that as well.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the same guy.
Speaker 1: It probably is, but yeah, I heard somebody talking about
Speaker 1: something they learned from Vinnie B.
Speaker 2: I think if that makes sense.
Speaker 1: But Jordan, if you can DM me on Instagram and
Speaker 1: send me that video you're watching so I can see
Speaker 1: what his train of thought is MDMP twenty and Instagram
Speaker 1: it's Josh Monday Underscore Podcast.
Speaker 2: If you want to DM me on that. Okay, Jordan,
Speaker 2: thank you MDMP twenty two. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. So yeah, let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: get right into it. So I have a quick introduction
Speaker 1: for all of First Chronicles. So it says First Chronicles introduction.
Speaker 1: Chronicle serves as a post a Killic retelling of Israel's history,
Speaker 1: focusing on a Davidic covenant, the temple, and the legitimacy
Speaker 1: of the priestle royal lines for a community returning from Babylon.
Speaker 1: Written around four sixty to four hundred BC, likely by Ezra,
Speaker 1: it starts with extensive genealogies chapter one through nine and
Speaker 1: centers on David's reign. Chapters twenty nine are ten through
Speaker 1: twenty nine, highlighting spiritual renewal and divine worship. Key aspects
Speaker 1: of chronicles purpose to encourage the returned exiles by reminding
Speaker 1: them of their heritage, God's covenant with David, and the
Speaker 1: importance of the temple structure. Chapters one through nine are
Speaker 1: geneologies tracing from Adam to posts Achilic are excelic community,
Speaker 1: highlighting the line of David and the tribe of Levi.
Speaker 1: Chapters ten through twenty nine the reign of David starting
Speaker 1: with Saul's death and establishment of Jerusalem as the capital,
Speaker 1: bringing the arc to the city and preparations for the temple.
Speaker 1: Themes the centrality of the Davidic monarchy, the importance of
Speaker 1: the temple and its ritual, and God's faithfulness to Israel's promises.
Speaker 1: Key differences from Samuel and Kings. The chronicler omits negative
Speaker 1: aspects of David's life the Bathshieva incident to present him
Speaker 1: as the ideal king and founder of temple worship. Temple's worship,
Speaker 1: the book bridges the history of the monarchy with the
Speaker 1: needs of the restored community, emphasizing that the promises of
Speaker 1: David will still we're still relevant for the future. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that's the introduction, and let me just go ahead
Speaker 1: and go over an introduction.
Speaker 2: For chapter one, real fast, so we have that first.
Speaker 1: Chronicles one provides the genealogical framework of the Biblical narrative,
Speaker 1: tracing the lineage of humanity from Adam to the twelve
Speaker 1: Sons of Jacob. This chapter underlines the link between divine
Speaker 1: providence and human history, weaving the ancestry of notable biblical characters.
Speaker 1: The record is more than just a list of names,
Speaker 1: but a testament to God's constant, our consistent presence throughout generations.
Speaker 1: The purpose in setting, the chronicler writes after the exile
Speaker 1: the Judas, when Judas survivors need to know who they
Speaker 1: are and where they came from. By sweeping from Adam
Speaker 1: to Abraham and pausing the name even Israel's rivals, the
Speaker 1: writer anchors and restored the restored community in real history
Speaker 1: and in God's larger plan. Okay, so let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and jump down to my teaching points.
Speaker 2: And I have a lot.
Speaker 1: Of notes because I have to make sure I keep
Speaker 1: this thing interesting. For some it's interesting, you know, learning
Speaker 1: the genealogy.
Speaker 2: For some it's not.
Speaker 1: So what I want to do is I'm going to
Speaker 1: read these names off and please forgive me if I
Speaker 1: ask any of these names, because I don't read Hebrew,
Speaker 1: you know. So if I'm going through the names and
Speaker 1: you feel like I'm asking them or something, I do
Speaker 1: apologize for that. So let's go ahead and start.
Speaker 2: So we'll started a first Chronicles.
Speaker 1: Chapter one, verse one, it says the family of Adam
Speaker 1: to Seth and then to Abraham.
Speaker 2: Okay, so here we go. We're gonna start this out,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: When I look through this and I kind of knew
Speaker 1: what I was up against. Obviously, I need to make
Speaker 1: sure that I'm reading the whole entire Bible, like I promised.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go through the whole entire Bible. So
Speaker 1: didn't matter where we were at in the Bible, we
Speaker 1: went through everything. And I want to make sure we
Speaker 1: go through the whole entire thing, and I think it's
Speaker 1: vastly important for us to do so. So this is
Speaker 1: what we're doing today, right. So first Chronicles one, verse
Speaker 1: one says Adam, Seth, Enosh, Canaan, Mahalil, Jared, Enoch, Mathuselah, Lamech, Noah,
Speaker 1: shem Ham.
Speaker 2: And Japith.
Speaker 1: All right, I didn't do too bad so far. So
Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty good. So that's all we have so far, right,
Speaker 1: So this is the foundation of humanity right here. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we need to make sure we know these of course,
Speaker 1: because this is you know, it started with Adam and
Speaker 1: then they go to Seth and then the Enosh. Okay,
Speaker 1: so they're giving us the foundation of humanity here. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the foundation of humanity I'll go a little deeper
Speaker 1: into that.
Speaker 2: It says the.
Speaker 1: Concept of the foundation of humanity is deeply rooted in
Speaker 1: the Biblical narrative, beginning with the creation account in the
Speaker 1: Book of Genesis. This foundational event is pivotal in understanding
Speaker 1: the nature, purpose, and destiny of man of humankind as
Speaker 1: depicted in the scriptures. The Bible begins with the account
Speaker 1: of creation, where God is portrayed as the sovereign creator
Speaker 1: of the universe. In Genesis one six through twenty seven,
Speaker 1: it is written, then God said, let us make man
Speaker 1: in our image after our likeness, to rule over the
Speaker 1: fish of the sea and the birds of the air,
Speaker 1: and over the livestock, and over the earth itself, and
Speaker 1: over every creature that crawls upon it. So God created
Speaker 1: man in his own image, in the image of God.
Speaker 1: He created him male and female, He created them. This
Speaker 1: passage highlights the unique status of humanity created in the
Speaker 1: image and likeness of God, setting humans apart from the
Speaker 1: rest of creation the image of God. The concept of
Speaker 1: being made in the image of God image oday is
Speaker 1: central to the Biblical understanding of humanity. The image endows
Speaker 1: humans with inherent dignity, value, and purpose. It implies a
Speaker 1: reflection of God's attributes such as rationality, morality, creativity, and relationality.
Speaker 1: The image of God also establishes the foundation for human
Speaker 1: responsibility and stewardship over creation, a set in Genesis one
Speaker 1: twenty eight. God bless them and said to them be
Speaker 1: fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it.
Speaker 1: Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds
Speaker 1: of the air, in every creature that crawls upon the earth,
Speaker 1: all in its consequences. The narrative of the Fall in
Speaker 1: Genesis three marks a significant turning point in the foundation
Speaker 1: of humanity. Adam and Eve's disobedience to God's command result
Speaker 1: in the entrance of sin into the world, fundamentally altering
Speaker 1: the human condition. Romans five twelve states, therefore, just to
Speaker 1: sin enter the world through one man and death through sin.
Speaker 1: So also death was passed on to all men because
Speaker 1: all sinned. This event introduced a separation between humanity and God,
Speaker 1: affecting all aspects of human life and creation itself. Redemption
Speaker 1: and restoration. Despite the fall, the Bible presents a redemptive
Speaker 1: plan for humanity through Jesus Christ. The promise of redemption
Speaker 1: is first hinted at in Genesis three point fifteen, where
Speaker 1: God declares to the serpent, and I will put enmity
Speaker 1: between you and the woman, and between your seed and
Speaker 1: her seed. He will crush your head, and you will
Speaker 1: strike his heel the First Gospel this proto Evangelum or
Speaker 1: First Gospel, foreshadows the coming of Christ, who would ultimately
Speaker 1: defeat sin and death. The New test Testament further elaborates
Speaker 1: on these redemptive work and one Corinthians fifteen twenty one
Speaker 1: through twenty two, where Paul writes, for since death came
Speaker 1: through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes through
Speaker 1: a man. For as an atom, all die, so when Christ,
Speaker 1: all will be made alive. Through Christ's death and resurrection,
Speaker 1: the broken relationship between God and humanity is restored, offering
Speaker 1: eternal life to all who believe the New Creation, the
Speaker 1: culmination of God's redemptive plant is the promise of a
Speaker 1: new creation. Revelation twenty one one through four describes a
Speaker 1: future where God will dwell with his people in a
Speaker 1: renewed heaven and earth. Then I saw a new heaven
Speaker 1: and new Earth. For the first heaven and earth had
Speaker 1: passed away, and this sea was no more. I saw
Speaker 1: the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of
Speaker 1: Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Speaker 1: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Behold,
Speaker 1: the dwelling place of God is with man, and he
Speaker 1: will dwell with them. They will be his people, and
Speaker 1: God himself will be with them as their God. He
Speaker 1: will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there
Speaker 1: will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,
Speaker 1: for the former things have passed away. This vision of
Speaker 1: the New Creation underscores the ultimate restoration and fulfillment of
Speaker 1: humanity's original purpose as intended by God from the foundation
Speaker 1: of the world. All right, that was just a beautiful
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to read. And it's very very important.
Speaker 2: For us to know that.
Speaker 1: So let me just jump back down to my notes here,
Speaker 1: and then we'll continue reading. Okay, let me get there.
Speaker 1: Things going a little fast. Okay, God's summon planning. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll read that in a second. All right, Now, let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and start with verse four. The sons of
Speaker 1: Japith were Gomer, maygog Madai, Javin, to ball Mes, Shechek,
Speaker 1: and Tyrus.
Speaker 2: Y are Arras.
Speaker 1: The sons of Gomer were Ashk, nas Depath, and Tagama.
Speaker 1: The sons of Javin were Alisha or yeah, Alisha, uh Shah,
Speaker 1: Kiddim and Rodening.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll go ahead and continue. It says uh.
Speaker 1: In verse eight, it says the sons of him were Kush, Miserim,
Speaker 1: misraing put In Canaan. The sons of Kush were Seba, Hava, La, Saptah, Rama,
Speaker 1: and Sapteka. The sons of Rama were Shiba and ded
Speaker 1: Ankush begot Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one
Speaker 1: on the earth. Misserm begot lootim anamim Lahaibim.
Speaker 2: Nafta him.
Speaker 1: Path Resime cast Lehem, from whom came the Philistines and
Speaker 1: the Kaftereine. Canaan begot Sidron his firstborn and heath, the Jebusite,
Speaker 1: the Amurite and the Gergashite, the Hivite, the Arkite and
Speaker 1: the Synite, the Aradite, the Zemurite, and the Hammurit Hammatite,
Speaker 1: so Hammathite.
Speaker 2: So let's stop there real quick. Why is this important?
Speaker 1: Well because we have some giants mentioned here, okay, so
Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting. So we have Canaan begat sit
Speaker 1: on the firstborn of Heth okay, thebu Site, and then
Speaker 1: it says the Amorite. So we have the Amorites were
Speaker 1: king of Bashan, right, So you know, we believe that
Speaker 1: they were giants because in am To ten it says
Speaker 1: that they were biggest cedars.
Speaker 2: The Gurgashite, I'd have to look real quick.
Speaker 1: I know that the Zemerite or the Zamim were giants.
Speaker 1: Let me just hold on real quick, back to check
Speaker 1: this out real quick.
Speaker 4: I don't know about the Gurgashites, gurgas Shiites, Gurgashites.
Speaker 1: The Gurgashites, where an ancient canaan I tribe descended from
Speaker 1: handsome Canaan, often listed among the nations driven out by
Speaker 1: the Israelites, while some interpretations group them among the giants
Speaker 1: the Raphaium of Canaan. They're mostly mentioned as one of
Speaker 1: the seven Canaanite nations with limited specific information. All right,
Speaker 1: so they are listed within with the giants, because these
Speaker 1: are all giants, the Hipites.
Speaker 2: Let's check those out real quick. The Hipbites.
Speaker 1: While the Bible explicitly identify as group like the anachem
Speaker 1: Emim and Rafaim as giant nephilm and having Canaan, the
Speaker 1: Hibites are generally listed separately as one of the indigenous
Speaker 1: Canaanite nations. However, some interpretations just the hip Bites lived
Speaker 1: among or were associated with the.
Speaker 2: Giant clans during the conquest.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm not going to go through all of
Speaker 1: this because you guys probably don't care too much about that,
Speaker 1: but I it interests me, you know. But it's just
Speaker 1: interesting that it says that Canaan begot the Amorite. So
Speaker 1: the Amorite, so.
Speaker 2: Canaan.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So I just want to just make
Speaker 1: that little point there. I know, like I said, you
Speaker 1: guys don't really some people don't care too much about that,
Speaker 1: but I like to look that up.
Speaker 2: Let's continue verse seventeen.
Speaker 1: The Sons of sham Or Elam are sure are fact.
Speaker 1: Sad lud aram oohz whol gether and mashek Araksad begot Sheila,
Speaker 1: and Sheila begot Eber.
Speaker 2: And Eber was born two sons.
Speaker 1: The name of one was Peleg, for in his days
Speaker 1: the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Jock
Speaker 1: ten Jock ten begat allah allah Dad. That's kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: Hold on, let's stop the real quick. It's interesting that
Speaker 1: says for in his days the earth was divided. So
Speaker 1: probably because of the Tower of Bowel, right where the
Speaker 1: earth was divided, That's probably why it's mentioning that where
Speaker 1: the languages were divided, right, But was the actual earth divided.
Speaker 1: That's kind of interesting because I've heard somebody say, we
Speaker 1: know when they talk.
Speaker 2: About the earth being all together. Oh, I can't believe.
Speaker 1: I can't remember what that's called. Hold on, real quick,
Speaker 1: see you guys, I'm I'm.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't mean to bring this up. But
Speaker 2: Earth was what is it called, oh, Pangaea. It says
Speaker 2: that Pangaea was a super.
Speaker 1: Continent that existed approximately they say three hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: five to two hundred million years ago. But I would
Speaker 1: say maybe it was like fifty five hundred years ago.
Speaker 1: It could be like a Pangaea thing. I've heard someone
Speaker 1: have that interpretation for in his days, the earth was divided.
Speaker 1: I've heard someone say that was Pangaea. Was the earth
Speaker 1: together the flood happens. That's why you have kangaroos and
Speaker 1: all these different animals were able to come to the
Speaker 1: to the to the arc and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you know, the water's immensed. And then then they ended
Speaker 1: up building the tower in Genesis ten and eleven. And
Speaker 1: then you know, maybe the Earth was divided. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe the continent spread and that could have that could
Speaker 1: have been something we don't know. But it's kind of
Speaker 1: interesting how it says that there that the Earth was
Speaker 1: divided right there. That's not necessarily my interpretation, but I
Speaker 1: like to give you guys different interpretations of what some
Speaker 1: people say. Some people say that when the Earth was divided,
Speaker 1: that it was actually the languages were divided and the
Speaker 1: earth was divided, meaning it was Pangaea. So it was
Speaker 1: connected before a lot of people that try to bring
Speaker 1: up the flood try to say, well, hey, this was
Speaker 1: a worldwide flood. Because I debated somebody on this, then,
Speaker 1: how could there be kangaroos and all these animals from
Speaker 1: different continents, is what they would say.
Speaker 2: So who knows. Maybe there's something to it, maybe not.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's interesting though, Let's continue it, says Hazara, Rameath Juran, Okay, sorry, joke,
Speaker 1: ten be got Alo Almodad, Shalev, Haser, Ravith, Juran had Aam.
Speaker 1: It was all Dick law A ball ab Emil Sheiba, Afeir,
Speaker 1: Hava La and Joe bab All these were the sons
Speaker 1: of Jock ten and guys, stick with me, okay, because
Speaker 1: I do have an explanation of what we're reading.
Speaker 2: Shem racted Sheila.
Speaker 1: Eber peleg Rue, Siag Nohoor, Tarah and Abraham who is Abraham.
Speaker 1: The sons of Abraham were Isaac and Ishmael.
Speaker 2: So there we go. Let's stop there real quick and
Speaker 2: all right, and uh okay.
Speaker 1: The importance of heritage in verses five through twenty three
Speaker 1: lists the descendants of Jpith, Ham and Shem. You know,
Speaker 1: Jpith being the son of Noah, Ham being the son
Speaker 1: of Noah, and Shem being the son of Noah, Showing
Speaker 1: the spread of nations and the importance of heritage. And
Speaker 1: identity in God's plan Let's look up. The importance of heritage.
Speaker 1: Heritage in the Biblical context refers to the transmission of faith, values, traditions,
Speaker 1: and blessings from one generation to the next. It is
Speaker 1: a reoccurring theme throughout the scriptures, emphasizing the continuity continuity
Speaker 1: of God's promises and the responsibility of each generation to
Speaker 1: uphold and pass on their spiritual legacy. The concept of
Speaker 1: heritage is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where God
Speaker 1: establishes his covenant with Abraham, promising that his descendants would
Speaker 1: inherit the land and become a great nation. Genesis seventeen
Speaker 1: to seven states, I will establish my covenant as an
Speaker 1: everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you,
Speaker 1: to be your God and the God of your descendants
Speaker 1: after you. This covenanial promise underscores the importance of heritage
Speaker 1: as a divine assurance passed down through generations. The Israelites
Speaker 1: journey from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land is
Speaker 1: a testament to the significance of heritage. The land itself
Speaker 1: is described as an inheritance from God, a tangible representation
Speaker 1: of his faithfulness. In Deuteronomy four twenty, Moses reminds the people,
Speaker 1: but the Lord has taken you and brought you out
Speaker 1: of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be the
Speaker 1: people of his inheritance as.
Speaker 2: You are today. Okay, so the heritage.
Speaker 1: The Bible places a strong emphasis on the spiritual aspect
Speaker 1: of heritage. Parents are instructed to teach their children about
Speaker 1: God's laws and deeds. Deuteronomy six six through seven commands
Speaker 1: these words I am commanding you today are to be
Speaker 1: upon your hearts, and you shall teach them diligently. To
Speaker 1: to your children, and speak to them when you sit
Speaker 1: at home, when you walk along the road, and when
Speaker 1: you lie down, and when you get up. This passage
Speaker 1: highlights the role of family in preserving and transmitting faith.
Speaker 1: The Psalms also reflect on the importance of spiritual heritage.
Speaker 1: Psalms seventy four or seventy eight four declares we will
Speaker 1: not hide them from their children, but will declare to
Speaker 1: the next generation the praises of the Lord Yahweh and
Speaker 1: his might and the wonders he has performed. This verse
Speaker 1: emphasizes the duty to share God's works and character with
Speaker 1: future generations. Ensuring that his name is glorified perpetually. Heritage
Speaker 1: and identity. Heritage is closely linked to identity in the Bible.
Speaker 1: The genealogies found in the Books of Genesis and Chronicles
Speaker 1: serve not only as historical records, but also as affirmations
Speaker 1: of identity and belonging. They remind the Israelites of their
Speaker 1: roots in God's ongoing relationship with them and the New Testament.
Speaker 1: The genealogy of Jesus in Matthew One underscores his rightful
Speaker 1: place in the lineage of David, fulfilling the Messianic prophecies
Speaker 1: in affirming his identity as the Savior. The apostle Paul
Speaker 1: speaks in the spirit to the spiritual heritage of believers
Speaker 1: in Christ. In Roman's eight seventeen, he writes, and if
Speaker 1: we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God
Speaker 1: and co errors of Christ. If indeed we suffer with Him,
Speaker 1: so that you may also be glorified, so that we
Speaker 1: may also be glorified with him. This passage reveals that
Speaker 1: through faith in Christ, believers inherit the promises of God
Speaker 1: become in part of a spiritual family that transcends earthly lineage.
Speaker 1: Preservation of heritage, the Horns against the neglect of heritage
Speaker 1: and Judges two ten. It is recorded after the whole
Speaker 1: generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation rose
Speaker 1: up who did not know the Lord Yahweh or the
Speaker 1: works that he had done for Israel. This serves as
Speaker 1: the cautionary tale about the consequences of failing to pass
Speaker 1: on the knowledge of God and his deeds. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: when it says Lord, I say Yahweh because it's capitalized Lord,
Speaker 1: so I'd say Lord Yahweh.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying that, because that's what it means. Okay.
Speaker 2: The New Testament encourages.
Speaker 1: Believers to hold fast to their spiritual heritage and two
Speaker 1: Timothy one verse five, Paul commands Timothy, faith first lived
Speaker 1: and our first lived in your grandmother Lois and your
Speaker 1: mother Eunice, and I am convinced it is in you
Speaker 1: as well. This acknowledgment of generational faith highlights the importance
Speaker 1: of nurturing and preserving one's spiritual heritage. The Biblical narrative
Speaker 1: consistently underscores the importance of heritage as a me means
Speaker 1: of preserving faith, identity, and divine promises. It calls each
Speaker 1: generation to faithfully transmit their spiritual legacy.
Speaker 2: Ensuring the knowledge and worship of God enduring through time.
Speaker 2: So let me just hop back down.
Speaker 1: I got some more real quick before we go over
Speaker 1: a brief description of what we even just read in
Speaker 1: the Line of Promise Verses twenty four through twenty seven,
Speaker 1: where I was talking about Abraham and Isaac and Ishmael
Speaker 1: focuses on the line of Shem to Abraham, underscoring the
Speaker 1: covenant promise that God made with Abraham, which is essentral
Speaker 1: to the Biblical narrative. The line promise refers to the
Speaker 1: genealogical lineage through which God's covenantial promises were transmitted, ultimately
Speaker 1: culminating in the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. This
Speaker 1: line is a central theme in the Biblical narrative, illustrating
Speaker 1: God's faithfulness and sovereign plan for redemption. Adam to Noah,
Speaker 1: the line promise begins with Adam, the first man created
Speaker 1: by God.
Speaker 2: After the Fall, God.
Speaker 1: Promised a future redeemer who would crush the serpent's head.
Speaker 1: The proto Evangelum or First Gospel, set the states for
Speaker 1: unfolding of God's debt to plan. The line continued through
Speaker 1: Adam's son Seth, as stated in Genesis Fire three, when
Speaker 1: Adam was one hundred and thirty years old, he had
Speaker 1: his son and his own likeness and his own image
Speaker 1: he named, and he named him Seth. From Seth, the
Speaker 1: line proceeded through Enos, Keenan, Mahaleel, jared Enoch, Mathuselah, Lahmek,
Speaker 1: and finally Noah. Noah found favor in the eyes of
Speaker 1: the Lord, and he was chosen to preserve humanity through
Speaker 1: the flood, thus continuing the line of promise Noah to Abraham.
Speaker 1: After the flood, the promise continued through Noah's son Shem.
Speaker 1: Genis eleven traces the descendants of Shem, leading to Terah,
Speaker 1: the father of Abram, later Abraham. God called Abram out
Speaker 1: of er of the Chaldeans, promising to make him a
Speaker 1: great nation and to bless all the families of the
Speaker 1: earth through him. Genesis twelve, verses one through three, Abraham
Speaker 1: to Isaac and Jacob. Abraham's faith was tested and he
Speaker 1: was found right just before God. The promise was reaffirmed
Speaker 1: to him and passed to his son, Isaac, the child
Speaker 1: the promise born to Sarah in her old age Genesis
Speaker 1: twenty one to twelve states but God said, But God
Speaker 1: said to Abraham, do not be distressed about the boy,
Speaker 1: and your maid servant listened everything Sarah tells you through Isaac,
Speaker 1: your offspring will be reckoned. Isaac married Rebecca, and the
Speaker 1: promise continued through their son, Jacob, later named Israel. God
Speaker 1: reiterated his covenant with Jacob, saying, I am the Lord,
Speaker 1: the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac.
Speaker 1: I will give you and your descendants to land which
Speaker 1: you now lie. Genesis twenty eight thirteen, Jacob to Judah.
Speaker 1: Jacob had twelve sons who became the patriarchs of the
Speaker 1: twelve tribes of Israel. The line of promise was carried
Speaker 1: through Judah, as promised by Jacob up in Genesis forty
Speaker 1: nine to ten, the scepter will not depart from Judah,
Speaker 1: nor the ruler's staff from between his feet until Shiloh
Speaker 1: comes and the allegiance of.
Speaker 2: The nation is his.
Speaker 1: Judah to David. The lineage continued through Judas descendants, leading
Speaker 1: to Jesse, then to David, the shepherd boy, who became king.
Speaker 1: God made a covenant with David, promising that his throne
Speaker 1: would be established forever Tewod Samuel seven, verse sixteen. This
Speaker 1: covenant further solidified the line of promise, pointing to a
Speaker 1: future king who would reign eternally.
Speaker 2: David to Jesus.
Speaker 1: The genealogies of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke trace
Speaker 1: the line of promise from David to Jesus Christ. Matthew
Speaker 1: one one begins with the second record of the genality
Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Speaker 1: Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary. Fulfilled the prophecies
Speaker 1: and promise made throughout the Old Testament. He is the
Speaker 1: ultimate fulfillment of the line of promise, the Messiah who
Speaker 1: brings salvation to all who believe. Throughout the Bible, the
Speaker 1: line of promise demonstrates God's in wavering commitment to his
Speaker 1: covenant and his sovereign orchestration of history to bring about
Speaker 1: his redemptive purposes. Okay, so why am I reading all
Speaker 1: this to you? Because it's showing you. Like what we're
Speaker 1: reading here, this is like all important stuff. There's names
Speaker 1: here that you probably don't recognize, and there's names that
Speaker 1: you will recognize, but if you were actually a historian
Speaker 1: and you wanted to go through each individual one and
Speaker 1: find out about them and what they did, you might
Speaker 1: be able to find something in the Bible that kind
Speaker 1: of goes back to some of these people, and then
Speaker 1: you can find out biblically what's.
Speaker 2: Going on with them.
Speaker 1: And then some historians would try to grab you know,
Speaker 1: you know, some of these names that they may be
Speaker 1: found in history, archaeological finds or whatever.
Speaker 2: So, like I said, it's important. So let me just
Speaker 2: go over a brief description of what we just read.
Speaker 1: Give me one second here, I'm going down to my
Speaker 1: notes to make sure I'm missing anything because I can't
Speaker 1: make this too drive for you guys.
Speaker 2: I need to make this exciting, so I have to
Speaker 2: go through a lot of different notes, okay.
Speaker 1: So in Verses one first, Chronicles one one through twenty
Speaker 1: eight provides a comprehensive condensed genealogy from Adam to Abraham,
Speaker 1: highlighting the lineage of the seed of the Woman through
Speaker 1: Seth to Noah's son Shem. Written post exile, it establishes
Speaker 1: the Jewish people's direct historical connection to the founders of
Speaker 1: humanity and God's Covenant promise. Key aspects of the genealogy
Speaker 1: from Creation to Noah. Verses one through four traces the
Speaker 1: line from Adam through Seth to Noah, focusing on the
Speaker 1: godly line rather than Cain's descendants. The Nations five through
Speaker 1: twenty three lists the descendants of Noah's sons, japith, Ham,
Speaker 1: and Shem, to show that all nations share a common
Speaker 1: origin and are part of God's broader, unfolding and orderly plan.
Speaker 1: In verses twenty four through twenty eight, it's Shem to Abraham,
Speaker 1: focusing on the semi line culminating in Abraham, originally Abrahm,
Speaker 1: identified as the covenant recipient who fathered Isaac and Ishmael.
Speaker 2: These verses, along with.
Speaker 1: The subsequent chapters, serve as a skeleton framework that unites
Speaker 1: the entire Old Testament history, assuring returning exiles from the
Speaker 1: heritage and place in God's ongoing plan. The passage highlights
Speaker 1: God's sovereignty and history, tracing the lineage that ultimately leads
Speaker 1: to the promised Messiah. Let's go ahead and read the
Speaker 1: family of Ishmael. These are the genealogies. The firstborn of
Speaker 1: Ishmael was Nabajath, then Kadar, adbl Mivsham Mishmah, Dumah, Massah, Hadad, Tima, Tima,
Speaker 1: juturnt Fish, and Kiddema. These were the sons of Ishmael. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let me just go over a three description of
Speaker 1: what we just read there. So First Chronicles one twenty
Speaker 1: nine through thirty one list the twelve sons of Ishmael,
Speaker 1: son of Abram and Abraham and Hagar, who become heads
Speaker 1: of Arab tribes. The genealogy demonstrates God's faithfulness and fulfilling
Speaker 1: the promise that he made to Ishmael promise to make
Speaker 1: Ishmael a great nation Genesis twenty one eighteen. It highlights
Speaker 1: that God tracks every generation and fulfills his covenancial promises,
Speaker 1: even those outside the direct line of Isaac Key points
Speaker 1: regarding the meaning of First Chronicles one twenty nine through
Speaker 1: thirty one fulfillment of promise, The listing of Ishmael's twelve
Speaker 1: sons historical significance. These sons become heads of twelve tribes,
Speaker 1: representing the origins of the Arab peoples in the northern
Speaker 1: Arabian desert and surrounding areas. Contexts in First Chronicles, the
Speaker 1: Book of First chronicles Bride's extensive genealogy to show the
Speaker 1: continued continuity of God's coming to people, but including Ishmael's
Speaker 1: descendants immediately after listening Abraham. It emphasized the importance of
Speaker 1: Abraham's wider family line while setting the stage for the
Speaker 1: focus on the lineage of Isaac significant names. Several names,
Speaker 1: such as Kadar and Naboth are historically linked to nomadic
Speaker 1: Arab tribes mentioned in both other Biblical passages and secular history.
Speaker 1: How interesting, that's what I mean. You see how they
Speaker 1: can pull these names from the Bible and then bring
Speaker 1: it to secular history, which is great. Instead of denying
Speaker 1: the Bible and people try to deny that these people
Speaker 1: even existed. In essence, these verses illustrate God's sovereignty and
Speaker 1: faithfulness in creating nations, recognizing the descendants of Hagar within
Speaker 1: the larger framework of Abraham's family tree.
Speaker 2: All right, now, let's go ahead and check out the
Speaker 2: family of Kutah. Now.
Speaker 1: The sons born to Kuturah, Abraham's concubine, were Zimran, Jokhshan, Madan, Midian, Midian, Ishbach,
Speaker 1: and Shua. The sons of Jakshan were Sheiba and Didan.
Speaker 1: The sons of Midian were if ifir hanak Albadah.
Speaker 2: And el Dah.
Speaker 1: All All these were the children of Kutuah okay So
Speaker 1: and First Chronicles thirty two through thirty three details the
Speaker 1: descendants of Abraham through his wife concubine Kuttarrah, listing six
Speaker 1: sons Zimran, Djokashan, Madan, Midian, Ishbach, and Shua, and their
Speaker 1: offsprings including Shebaddan and Midian sons. These verses established the
Speaker 1: ge genealogical roots of various Arab tribes, confirming Abraham's wide
Speaker 1: influence and the fulfillment of God's promise to make him
Speaker 1: a father of many nations. These verses repeat the genealogy
Speaker 1: found in Genesis twenty five to one through four, highlighting
Speaker 1: the importance of accurate record keeping for the Israelites returning
Speaker 1: from exile distinction from the Covenant line. While Abraham gave
Speaker 1: gifts and sent Kutara's sons away to the east, the
Speaker 1: focus remains on Isaac as their heir and the Covenant,
Speaker 1: marking the boundary between the Chosen line and the surrounding tribes.
Speaker 1: Significance of nations the descent is listed. Particularly Midian plays
Speaker 1: significant roles in later Biblical history, the Midianites, the Queen
Speaker 1: of Sheba. Contexts of First Chronicles, the genealogy serves to
Speaker 1: remind the post exile community of the identity ancestry and
Speaker 1: God's faithfulness and preserving their history. These verses highlight the broader,
Speaker 1: non covenant family of Abraham, showing his significance outside the
Speaker 1: immediate lineage of Israel perfect. So this is all stuff
Speaker 1: that I'm learning as well. I think that when me
Speaker 1: and my wife went through the Bible, we probably just
Speaker 1: skipped it through all this. We probably didn't even read
Speaker 1: this part, you know, because we did sat down and
Speaker 1: we were going through the Bible together, and uh, this
Speaker 1: is probably something we didn't even focus on. But now
Speaker 1: that we've read from Genesis to to Chronicles, First Chronicles,
Speaker 1: you guys have like kind of done a three three
Speaker 1: chapter study with me, like on each you know, every week.
Speaker 1: So now there's gonna be names that you guys are
Speaker 1: gonna recognize that you probably would never recognize.
Speaker 2: Before if you didn't read the Bible all the way through.
Speaker 2: So that's what's cool.
Speaker 1: And then you're gonna you're gonna see some of these
Speaker 1: tribes like the midian Nites you remember them, or you know,
Speaker 1: the whole Rights, or the Hipites or the Amorites. You
Speaker 1: see these different tribes, you're like, oh, I know exactly
Speaker 1: because we read about all these tribes that they're that
Speaker 1: the Israelites were fighting, you know, the Chosen people versus.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I'll do that. Actually after that.
Speaker 1: Now, the family of Isaac thirty four verse the four Says,
Speaker 1: and Abraham begat Isaac. The sons of Isaac were Esau
Speaker 1: and Israel or Jacob. Right. The sons of Esau were
Speaker 1: eliphaz Raoh rule It's Raul, Jayush, Jalam and Korah. And
Speaker 1: the sons of Ilafhas were timan Omar, Zeffie, Gatam, and
Speaker 1: Kenas and by Tima Amelek. The sons of Raoul or
Speaker 1: Raul were Nahaf, Ziah, Shama.
Speaker 2: And Miza. Okay, so let's see what we have here.
Speaker 1: That's thirty four through Oh I didn't get thirty four
Speaker 1: through thirty seven, Okay.
Speaker 2: No worries, all right, let's go ahead and continue. So
Speaker 2: we got thirty eight through forty two, yep. Okay.
Speaker 1: So the family of Syr The son of Sir were
Speaker 1: low Tan, Showball, Zibian, Annah, Deshon, Azir, and Dishon. And
Speaker 1: the sons of Loutan were Hori, Hamam. Lowton's sister was
Speaker 1: tim Na. The sons of Showball.
Speaker 2: Were Alien, Manathah, ebaal Chefee, and Onum.
Speaker 1: The sons of Zibeon were Aha and Ajah, and Annah
Speaker 1: son of Anah was Deshon. The sons of Dijon were Hamron, Ashbahn,
Speaker 1: Uthern and Sharon. The sons of Izir were bill, Han, Zavon,
Speaker 1: and Jakhan. The sons of Dishon were Us and Iran
Speaker 1: okay So and First Chronicles one thirty eight through forty two,
Speaker 1: which we just read, outlines the genealogy of Sir the
Speaker 1: whole right, saying the indigenous non Israelite inhabitants of Mount
Speaker 1: Sir Edom before they were conquered by Esau's descendants.
Speaker 2: These verses parallel.
Speaker 1: Genesis thirty six twenty eight or twenty through twenty eight,
Speaker 1: highlighting the fusion of the Whurites with the Edomites and
Speaker 1: emphasizing God's knowledge of all nations within his plan.
Speaker 2: Who was Sir.
Speaker 1: Sir was a Wurite representing the original inhabitants of cave
Speaker 1: or cave dwellers of the mountains region of Edom, which
Speaker 1: Esau later.
Speaker 2: Occupied.
Speaker 1: Significance in context. The inclusion of this line highlights the
Speaker 1: broader non Israelite populations. It shows the genealogy of those
Speaker 1: who inhabited the land before the Edomites thescendants of Esau,
Speaker 1: Jacob's brother took over historical accuracy. This section confirms the
Speaker 1: historical details found in Genesis emphasizes that God's covenantal history
Speaker 1: includes both Israel and neighboring nations. Key details list seven
Speaker 1: sons of Sir Loughtan, Schobal, Zibian, and deshaun Iszir Desham,
Speaker 1: along with their descendants fusion with edom. While the Wholite
Speaker 1: the Writes were conquered by the sons of Esau, they
Speaker 1: were not entirely wiped out, but instead integrated with the Edomites,
Speaker 1: as implied with the inner marriage between mentioned in Genesis
Speaker 1: thirty six, and they shared the region of Mount Syr
Speaker 1: in some way. This passage affirms that God knows that
Speaker 1: the records knows and records the history of all people peoples,
Speaker 1: not just the chosen line of Israel, highlighting the connection
Speaker 1: between the Edomites and the original people of the land,
Speaker 1: the Whorites.
Speaker 2: So let me just double check something real quick. We're
Speaker 2: the wh Rights giants. I looked at it before.
Speaker 1: The Wholites were originally inhabited on Mount Syr before being displaced.
Speaker 1: The Edomites and are not explicitly described as giants and
Speaker 1: the Bibles, but are often associated with such groups, while
Speaker 1: surrounding groups like the Emim and Achem were explicitly deemed giants.
Speaker 1: The Horights were cave dwellers later conquered by Esau's descendants.
Speaker 1: So that's interesting that they're cave dwellers. All right, cool,
Speaker 1: We're done there now, We're moving right on to verse
Speaker 1: forty three. The Kings of Edom. Let me take a
Speaker 1: drink of water real quick, all right.
Speaker 2: The Kings of Edom.
Speaker 1: Now these were the kings who reigned in the land
Speaker 1: of Edom. Before a king reigned over the children of Israel, Balah,
Speaker 1: the son of Bior, And the name of a city
Speaker 1: was Dunhabab. And when Balah died, Jobab, the son of
Speaker 1: Zirah or Basrah, reigned in his place. When Jobab died,
Speaker 1: Husham of the land of the Timanites reigned in his place.
Speaker 1: And when Husham died, ha Dad, the son of Bedad,
Speaker 1: who attacked Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in
Speaker 1: his place. The name of his city was if if If.
Speaker 1: When Hadad died, Somemlah and Mashraka reigned in his place.
Speaker 1: And when Shamlah died, Saul of Rohobath by the River
Speaker 1: reigned in his place. When Saul died, bal Hannan, the
Speaker 1: son of Akbar, reigned in his place. And when beil
Speaker 1: Hanan died, Hadid reigned in his place.
Speaker 2: And the name of his city was Pai.
Speaker 1: His wife's name was Maha, Maha Tabil, Maha Tabal or Tabel,
Speaker 1: the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mazahab.
Speaker 2: Ha Dad died also.
Speaker 1: And the chiefs of Edom were Chief tim Nah, Chief
Speaker 1: aliyah Eliyah, Chief Jaff, Chief Ahalabama, Chief Allah, Chief Our,
Speaker 1: chief e Law, Chief Pinan, Chief Kanas, Chief Teaman, Chief
Speaker 1: Mibsar Are Mibsar, Chief Magdial, and Chief Iram. These were
Speaker 1: the chiefs of Edom. Okay didn't really start messing up
Speaker 1: on the names there till the end. But let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and go over a brief description of what we
Speaker 1: just read first Chronicles one forty three through fifty four
Speaker 1: lists the kings and chiefs of Edom, the Senates of Esau,
Speaker 1: who ruled before Israel had its own monarchy. This passage
Speaker 1: serves to highlight that Edom established a structured kingdom earlier
Speaker 1: than Israel, while emphasizing God's sovereignty over surrounding nations and
Speaker 1: providing genealogical contexts for the post excellent community.
Speaker 2: Contacts within scripture.
Speaker 1: The passage directly mirrors the genealogy in Genesis thirty six
Speaker 1: thirty one through forty three, tracing the lineage of Edom
Speaker 1: Esau pre Israelite monarchy.
Speaker 2: The passage explicitly notes that these kings reigned before any
Speaker 2: king reigned over the children of Israel, acknowledging Edam's earlier
Speaker 2: political development.
Speaker 1: As seen in the Bible study tools the list of
Speaker 1: kings and chiefs, the text serves named several kings the
Speaker 1: law I'm not going to name them all again, and
Speaker 1: later trends transitions to listing chiefs or clans. The purpose
Speaker 1: for the audience. The chronicler, writing after the Babylonian exile,
Speaker 1: included this to show that God is the Lord of
Speaker 1: all nations, not just Israel, and that he oversaw the
Speaker 1: history of Israel's neighbors as well. Symbolic significance, This inclusion
Speaker 1: of non Israeli King Israeli the Kings emphasizes that God's
Speaker 1: providential care extends globally or.
Speaker 2: Internationally.
Speaker 1: Is what we would say, even when the primary focus
Speaker 1: remains on the Covenant line.
Speaker 2: The past.
Speaker 1: It serves as a bridge, reminding the Israelites of their
Speaker 1: history relative to their neighbors while highlighting God's meticulous sovereign
Speaker 1: control over history. That is the end of Chapter one.
Speaker 1: The Chosen People is what I have here in my notes,
Speaker 1: Verses twenty eight through fifty four detailed the descendants of Abraham, Isaac,
Speaker 1: and Esau, leading to the twelve tries of Israel, God's
Speaker 1: Chosen people, through whom He would bring salvation to the world.
Speaker 1: What is the Chosen People? The term chosen people refers
Speaker 1: to the Israelites who are selected by God to fulfill
Speaker 1: a unique role in his divine plan. This concept is
Speaker 1: deeply rooted in the Biblical narrative as a sense and
Speaker 1: essential to understanding the relationship between God and humanity.
Speaker 2: Has depicted in the scriptures.
Speaker 1: Okay, so the ideas of the chosen people is first
Speaker 1: introduced in the book of Genesis, where God makes a
Speaker 1: covenant with Abraham Genesis twelve, verses one through three. God
Speaker 1: calls Abram later Abraham and promises, I will make you
Speaker 1: into a great nation, and I will bless you. I
Speaker 1: will make your name great so that you will be
Speaker 1: a blessing. This covenant established the foundation of the Israelites
Speaker 1: as God's chosen people, a theme that has reiterated throughout
Speaker 1: the Old Testament. In Deuteronomy seven, verse six, Moses reminds
Speaker 1: the Israelites of their special status. For you are a
Speaker 1: people holy to Yahweh, your God. The Lord, your God,
Speaker 1: has chosen you to be a people for his prized
Speaker 1: possession above all peoples on the face.
Speaker 2: Of the earth.
Speaker 1: This verse underscores the unique relationship between God and Israel,
Speaker 1: emphasizing their role as a holy nation, or I would
Speaker 1: say the relationship between God and the Israelites, emphasizing a
Speaker 1: role as a holy nation set apart for His purposes.
Speaker 1: The Israelites were chosen not only for the privilege, but
Speaker 1: also for responsibility. They were to be the light to
Speaker 1: the nations, demonstrating God's holiness and righteousness. Isaiah forty nine
Speaker 1: six articulates this mission. I will also make you a
Speaker 1: light for the nations, to bring my salvation to the
Speaker 1: ends of the earth. The chosen people were to exemplify
Speaker 1: God's laws and serve as a conduit for his blessings
Speaker 1: to all humanity. Covenantial relationship. The relationship between God and
Speaker 1: the Israelites is characterized by a series of covenants, including
Speaker 1: those with Abraham, Moses, and David. These covenants outline the
Speaker 1: terms of the relationship, including blessings for obedience and consequences
Speaker 1: for disobedience. In Exodus nineteen five through six, God declares, now,
Speaker 1: if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant,
Speaker 1: you will be my treasured possession out of all the nations,
Speaker 1: for the whole earth is mine, and unto me, you
Speaker 1: shall be a kingdom of priests.
Speaker 2: And a holy nation. Challenges and faithfulness. Throughout their history,
Speaker 2: the Israelites faced.
Speaker 1: Numerous challenges in maintaining their covenantial relationship with God. The
Speaker 1: Old Testament recounts periods of faithfulness and rebellion, with prophets
Speaker 1: often calling people back to the covenantial obligations. Despite their failures,
Speaker 1: God's commitment to His chosen people remain steadfast, as seen
Speaker 1: in passages like Jeremiah thirty one, verse three. I have
Speaker 1: loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn
Speaker 1: you with loving devotion. New Testament perspective and the New Testament,
Speaker 1: the concept of all chosen people is expanded to include
Speaker 1: all who believe in Jesus Christ, both jew and gentile.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, so that's very important for people to know.
Speaker 1: The apostle Peter writes in One Peter two nine. But
Speaker 1: you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
Speaker 1: a people for God's own possession and to proclaim the
Speaker 1: virtues of him who called out of darkness into who
Speaker 1: called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. This
Speaker 1: passage reflex of the continuity, continuity, and expansion of the
Speaker 1: idea of chosenness, emphasizing the spiritual identity and mission of
Speaker 1: believers in Christ. So let's stop there real quick and
Speaker 1: give my two cents. So can someone be God's chosen
Speaker 1: people if they don't believe in Jesus and if they
Speaker 1: don't worship Jesus, you know, like, if they don't believe
Speaker 1: that Jesus died on the cross and rose again after
Speaker 1: three days. Like I think it's First Corinthians fifteen, verses
Speaker 1: one through four says can they still be God's chosen people?
Speaker 1: That is an you know, that isn't a question that
Speaker 1: a lot of people have been debating for a very
Speaker 1: long time. There's something out there called dispensationalism, where I
Speaker 1: know I'm getting off subject to you guys, but this
Speaker 1: is kind of goes along with what I just read.
Speaker 1: Dispensationism would say that God has a plan for Israel
Speaker 1: and that they're going to repent and that they're going
Speaker 1: to come, you know, to believing in Jesus. Right, That's
Speaker 1: what dispensationalism is about, you know. But some people would
Speaker 1: say that they already had their chance and they deny
Speaker 1: Jesus and that they're no longer God's chosen people. That
Speaker 1: is a debate going on right now between Christians. You
Speaker 1: will see it out there a lot, you know, because.
Speaker 2: It's something that.
Speaker 1: Is going to be debated because of some of the
Speaker 1: verses that you see in the New Testament that talks
Speaker 1: about Jews, first to the Jews, then to the Gentiles. Right,
Speaker 1: So it looks like the chosen people was expanded to
Speaker 1: Jews and Gentiles, so it's kind of interesting look deeper
Speaker 1: into it. I don't want to give you my opinion
Speaker 1: on that or anything like that. I just want to
Speaker 1: tell you guys to look deeper into it. It's very important.
Speaker 1: I've seen people like sam Chimone, which you know, he's
Speaker 1: sometimes he's a little nasty when he talks to people.
Speaker 1: So if you're going to listen to him, just be
Speaker 1: be prepared because if he's debating somebody, he does not
Speaker 1: he does not he's not nice to them. He acts
Speaker 1: like they're they're his enemy, you know, like you know
Speaker 1: Muslims and and other people that try to debate him.
Speaker 1: But his whole point when I listened to him, which
Speaker 1: you know, he said that they had a chance the
Speaker 1: Messiah came that they've been told is going to come,
Speaker 1: and they denied him, which.
Speaker 2: Is Jesus right.
Speaker 1: And since they denied him, they no longer have a
Speaker 1: place like in a God's heart like that, like they're
Speaker 1: not God's chosen people anymore.
Speaker 2: Because in.
Speaker 1: First John it says that if you do not know,
Speaker 1: if you do not know the son, then you don't
Speaker 1: know the Father. So if you don't know the Son,
Speaker 1: like the Israelites or the people in Israel now today,
Speaker 1: not all of them, some of them are Messianic Jews.
Speaker 1: But if they don't know the Son, then they cannot
Speaker 1: know the Father. Plus, we pray through Jesus to God, right,
Speaker 1: so he's like our bridge. So if they don't have
Speaker 1: a bridge, then how are they praying to God? You know,
Speaker 1: like what are they doing? Are they just praying to Yahweh?
Speaker 1: And Yahweh is still giving him a chance? What about
Speaker 1: all the ones that already died already? Like, is God
Speaker 1: gonna h grandfather all of them in when when the Jews,
Speaker 1: you know, all the Jews come to come to Jesus,
Speaker 1: which is what dispensationalism says, is God going to grandfather
Speaker 1: all their descendants and everybody in and bring him to
Speaker 1: heaven even though they deny Jesus. Well, our our belief
Speaker 1: in Christianity is that if you deny Jesus, then Jesus
Speaker 1: is going to deny you before the Father.
Speaker 2: That's what Jesus says.
Speaker 1: So if you deny me in front of Man, I'm
Speaker 1: going to deny you in front of the Father. So
Speaker 1: what's happening in Israel right? Now if you're if you're Jewish,
Speaker 1: you're denying Jesus. So in turn, in turn, what's the
Speaker 1: Bible going to say to them? Well, the Bible says
Speaker 1: in the New Testament that if you deny me, I'm
Speaker 1: going to deny you in front of my father. If
Speaker 1: you deny me in front of man, I'll deny it
Speaker 1: from my father. I'm just paraphrasing that verse. Okay, I
Speaker 1: have to look exactly what it says. It it's something
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: So we need to understand that.
Speaker 1: That once we got we got, we did get adopted
Speaker 1: into the family. Okay, so it was the Jews in
Speaker 1: the beginning. But what happened Teeter toddying between bail Astaroth,
Speaker 1: all these things happened in the Old Testament that we've
Speaker 1: been reading and going over, so you can have a better.
Speaker 2: Understanding of this.
Speaker 1: And now we have God's sending his only begotten son
Speaker 1: John three sixteen to die for our sins, and Jesus
Speaker 1: fulfilled all these prophecies. The Messiah was right in front
Speaker 1: of them, and they could not see him because of
Speaker 1: their hardheartedness. They cannot see that this is their Messiah,
Speaker 1: and they deny it.
Speaker 2: To this day. So if you guys want to.
Speaker 1: Do a side study, I would do a side study
Speaker 1: on dispensationalism and that type of stuff. If you want
Speaker 1: to wait until we get to that point, which we
Speaker 1: will in the Book of Daniel, then you can wait
Speaker 1: and continue just with this study and just maybe not
Speaker 1: study all that and just study what I'm telling you about.
Speaker 1: But all I'm telling you is that it gets very interesting,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what the end. The answer to
Speaker 1: that debate is conspiracy. Theorists would say that Israel is
Speaker 1: not They're not the Israelites even in Israel right now.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you should believe that. I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you that, you know, they would say that they're
Speaker 1: Ashkenazi or there some other European Jews. They're not even
Speaker 1: the real Jews. And then there's also like you have
Speaker 1: these Hebrew Israelites now, like you know, African American sect
Speaker 1: that came out that is basically saying that the Jews
Speaker 1: in Israel are not the true Jews of the Synagogua
Speaker 1: Satan and that they are the true Jews Israelites, you know. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, You've got a lot of things going on
Speaker 1: out there that where people are claiming things, but it's
Speaker 1: up to us to study a matter to show thyself approved.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what God would want you to do.
Speaker 1: So this is just we're just going over this because
Speaker 1: of what we.
Speaker 2: Just talked about. Okay, I'm not trying to get sidetracked.
Speaker 1: Here, but we do have to keep these names and
Speaker 1: everything keep it interesting, right, So I'll continue with this
Speaker 1: little theological significance. It says the notion of the Chosen People.
Speaker 1: It's significant and understanding God's redemptive plant highlights God's sovereignty, grace,
Speaker 1: and faithfulness, as well as the responsibility of his people
Speaker 1: to live according to his will. The Chosen People serve
Speaker 1: as a testament to God's enduring love and his desire
Speaker 1: to bring salvation to all nations through his covenantal promises
Speaker 1: all nations. Right, So I think we're all God's chosen
Speaker 1: people now, especially if you're saved, and you know, I
Speaker 1: think that we are God's chosen people.
Speaker 2: So it gets interesting. But that was all I had
Speaker 2: for the notes and for First Chronicles chapter one. Let
Speaker 2: me just go ahead and go over some Let me
Speaker 2: go over some.
Speaker 1: Couple things before we move on to practice applications. We
Speaker 1: have embraced your spiritual heritage. Just as the istory oflites
Speaker 1: valued their genealogical records. We should cherish our spiritual heritage
Speaker 1: and identity in Christ. Next, recognize God's sovereignty. Trust in
Speaker 1: God's sovereign plan for your life, knowing that He has
Speaker 1: chosen you for a purpose, just as He chose individuals
Speaker 1: throughout history. Next, we have value every person. That's key.
Speaker 1: The genealogies remind us that every person is part of
Speaker 1: God's creation and plan, encouraging us.
Speaker 2: To value and respect all people. That is key. We
Speaker 2: need to do that for sure. I believe that to it.
Speaker 1: You know, we need to value and respect all people.
Speaker 1: When someone is a Muslim, or someone is any any religion,
Speaker 1: or any any anybody.
Speaker 2: I think that you know, any any ethnicity. I think
Speaker 2: we should respect all people. We should definitely be uh man,
Speaker 2: this is gonna. I need to pull that out.
Speaker 1: I think we should respect all people. You know, that's
Speaker 1: what we're taught to do. We're taught to love our
Speaker 1: neighbor as ourselves. Right, love our neighbor as ourselves mean
Speaker 1: everybody doesn't mean only Christians, it means everybody. So we
Speaker 1: need to definitely be a beacon of light in this
Speaker 1: crazy society we live in and make sure that we are,
Speaker 1: you know, not living of the world. We want to
Speaker 1: be not of this world.
Speaker 2: Okay. Next, we have live with purpose.
Speaker 1: Understanding that God has a plan for each of us
Speaker 1: should inspire us to live purposefully and intentionally, seeking to
Speaker 1: fulfill His will in our lives. Let's check out some
Speaker 1: additional scriptures that connect Genesis five, Chapter five, and Chapter ten.
Speaker 1: These chapters provide parallel genealogies, offering additional context and details
Speaker 1: about the descendants of that Them and Noah Matthew one
Speaker 1: one through seventeen, the genealogy of Jesus Christ, showing the
Speaker 1: fulfillment of God's promises through the line of Abraham and David. Next,
Speaker 1: we have Romans nine six through eight, Paul's discussion on
Speaker 1: the true children of Abraham, emphasizing faith and God's promise
Speaker 1: rather than mere physical descent. That's the thing that's the key,
Speaker 1: right is Romans nine six to eight, And there's a
Speaker 1: lot of other verses if you want to do that study.
Speaker 1: But faith in God's promise rather than mere descendant, like
Speaker 1: if you're a physical descendant doesn't mean that you're that
Speaker 1: you're in right, You're not God's chosen people just because
Speaker 1: you're a physical descendant. But some people would argue that
Speaker 1: they are right that just because they're an Israelite, they're
Speaker 1: God's chosen people.
Speaker 2: But I would argue.
Speaker 1: At least that you would need to believe that Jesus
Speaker 1: is your Lord and saviors. So if you have physical
Speaker 1: descent of the Israelites and you believe Jesus is your
Speaker 1: Lord and savior, so like a Messianic Jew, then you're
Speaker 1: part of God's chosen people. If you are denying Jesus,
Speaker 1: I don't see how someone's gonna end up getting to
Speaker 1: heaven because that's just part of Christianity of what we believe.
Speaker 1: You have to believe that Jesus died on the cross,
Speaker 1: rose again after three days, right, So that's one Corinthians fifteen, verses.
Speaker 2: One through four. Like we have to believe that, we
Speaker 2: have to believe in John three sixteen, you know, forever
Speaker 2: believe in him have everlasting life.
Speaker 1: Right, So for God gave his only begotten son, forever
Speaker 1: believe that in him should have everlasting life. So I
Speaker 1: don't see in Christianity how we could believe that someone
Speaker 1: can go to heaven without believing in Jesus, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's like Christianity one on one. So let's go ahead
Speaker 1: now and jump to First Chronicles two. Everybody that's listening
Speaker 1: and following along, like I said, I really appreciate.
Speaker 2: You like so much sticking with me.
Speaker 1: I'm you know, when when I look at the chapters
Speaker 1: that I have to get into in the beginning of
Speaker 1: the study and I see chapters like this, my mind
Speaker 1: immediately as a human being goes.
Speaker 2: To, oh, I hope that the that the audience stays engaged.
Speaker 1: So what I was doing, like, Okay, how am I
Speaker 1: going to keep anybody engaged? Well, besides the teaching points
Speaker 1: which is awesome in those Bible study notes that I have,
Speaker 1: which is thank God, I mean, thank the lower have
Speaker 1: this also kind of going a deeper dive on why
Speaker 1: we're reading it. I like this whole description of what
Speaker 1: we're reading as well. So let me just go over
Speaker 1: a quick introduction of First Chronicles Chapter two. First Chronicles
Speaker 1: two presents an in depth genealogical record tracing the lines
Speaker 1: of Israel's tribes. What they focus on the descendants of Judah,
Speaker 1: the royal line that leads to King David. Despite being
Speaker 1: a list of names, this chapter eloquently speaks of God's
Speaker 1: grand design for his people, unfolding over generations. Let me
Speaker 1: just jump down to my teaching points and we'll read
Speaker 1: the family of Israel. These were the sons of Israel
Speaker 1: or Jacob, Okay, Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Ishakar, Zebulun, Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naftali, Gad,
Speaker 1: and Ashure.
Speaker 2: Okay, as sure, sorry, not as sure as sure?
Speaker 1: So the importance of genealogy, what's the importance? Well, first,
Speaker 1: Chronicles two one through two begins with the sons of
Speaker 1: Israel or Jacob, set in the stage for the focus
Speaker 1: on Judah's lineage. The genealogy underscores the importance of family,
Speaker 1: heritage and God's covenant with his people. All right, so
Speaker 1: we're about to go for between three and seventeen from
Speaker 1: Judah to David, which is which is great, it's judas prominence.
Speaker 2: But let's just go go ahead and check out what
Speaker 2: we just read with the twelve tribes.
Speaker 1: Here, Chronicles two, verses one chapter or verses one through
Speaker 1: two lists the twelve sons of Israel Jacob, establishing the
Speaker 1: foundational genealogy for the tribes of Israel and highlighting God's
Speaker 1: covenanial faithfulness through generations. It marks a shift in the
Speaker 1: chronological or in the chronicle, from the earlier descendants of
Speaker 1: Adam and Abraham to the specific organized family line from
Speaker 1: which the dividic kingdom and eventually Jesus would emerge. The
Speaker 1: Twelve Sons the passes lists the twelve tribes of Israel,
Speaker 1: which we went over shift to Judah while listing all sons.
Speaker 1: This chapter serves as an introduction to the focus on
Speaker 1: the tribe of Judah, leading directly into the genealogy of
Speaker 1: King David, which occupies the rest of the chapter. Order
Speaker 1: differences The order of the names differ from list and genesis,
Speaker 1: possibly reflecting historical, cultural, or religious significance e g. Placing
Speaker 1: Dan before Rachel's sons notes the placing Dan's before rachel
Speaker 1: sons okay symbol of continuity. These verses signify that the
Speaker 1: post Ecolic community, let's say, exolic, I guess it's like
Speaker 1: because it's like the post exile community reading this as recorded,
Speaker 1: was still the chosen covenant family of God.
Speaker 2: Emphasis on grace.
Speaker 1: The genealogy includes individuals with flawed pass demonstrating that God's
Speaker 1: plans are achieved despite human imperfection. In in essence, these
Speaker 1: verses validate the identity, heritage, and continuity of Israel as
Speaker 1: God's chosen people, said in the State for the rise
Speaker 1: of the Messianic line through Judah.
Speaker 2: All right, so so far, so good.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and look at first Chronicles two, verse
Speaker 1: three from Judah to David. The sons of Judah were
Speaker 1: er Onin and Sheila. These three were born to him
Speaker 1: by the daughter of Shua the canaanitis. Er the firstborn
Speaker 1: of Judah, was wicked in the side of the Lord,
Speaker 1: so we killed them, and Tamor his daughter in law,
Speaker 1: bore him, Perez and Zira. All sons of Judah were five.
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and see what's going on there.
Speaker 2: So Tamyr was Judah's daughter in law.
Speaker 1: Judah was wicked the side, okay, so first one, so
Speaker 1: he killed him, and tomorrow his daughter in law bore
Speaker 1: him Perez and Zira. So do you remember when Tamar
Speaker 1: was basically like a prostitute or acting like a prostitute,
Speaker 1: and went to Judah and then Judah. Uh, then she
Speaker 1: asked for his chain which is like like his uh,
Speaker 1: his necklace, and his necklace had like his his his.
Speaker 2: I can't remember what it was, his increscent on it,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: And basically he knew once he saw that crescent on
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's neck that that was actually him, that was actually
Speaker 1: her that slept with him, and she ended up pregnant
Speaker 1: and having Perez and Zirah. So which is interesting because
Speaker 1: Perez is actually in the line of Jesus. Okay, so
Speaker 1: that act, that wicked act, still brought Perez, which Perez
Speaker 1: was in the line of Jesus. So very interesting. So
Speaker 1: let me just go ahead and continue. The sons of
Speaker 1: Perez were Hezron and Hamul. The sons of Zirah were Zimri, Ethan,
Speaker 1: he Man, cal Cole, and Durrah. Five of them in all.
Speaker 1: The son of Karmi was a car the troubler of Israel,
Speaker 1: who transgressed in the accursed thing.
Speaker 2: The son of.
Speaker 1: Ethan was Azariah or Azariah, the son of Hezron were
Speaker 1: born to him where Jeremiel, ram chel Bai, Chilubai, ram
Speaker 1: begot am Am Nadab and Amnidad begot Nashan leader of
Speaker 1: the children of Judah. Nashan begot Salma, and Salma begot
Speaker 1: bo Az, bo As begot Obid and Obid begot Jesse.
Speaker 1: Jesse begot ilieb his first born a Ben Adab, the second, Shamiah,
Speaker 1: the third, Nathaniel the fourth, Radia the fifth, and Ozem
Speaker 1: the sixth, and David the seventh. So bo As was
Speaker 1: the was married to Ruth. Okay, so that's who that is.
Speaker 1: Boas begot Obed and Obed be got Jesse. Jesse is
Speaker 1: David's father. Then Jesse begot these other people. Ilia was
Speaker 1: first born a Ben a Dab, the second, Shamiah, the third,
Speaker 1: Nathaniel was it, Nathaniel, the fourth, Radie the fifth.
Speaker 2: Was in the sixth, and then David the seventh. Okay,
Speaker 2: So that's what we're reading there now. Their sisters were
Speaker 2: Zurai and Abigail.
Speaker 1: The sons of Zurai were Abashi, Joe, ab a Shield three.
Speaker 1: Abigail bore Amasa, and the father of Amasa was Jetherer
Speaker 1: the ishmael Lte Okay.
Speaker 2: So in first Chronicles three, hold on, I think let
Speaker 2: me just uh, I don't know if.
Speaker 1: You guys can hear my dog barking, but very loud.
Speaker 1: First Chronicles two, three through seventeen provides the genealogy of Judah,
Speaker 1: highlighting the lineage leading to King David and ultimately Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: It emphasizes that God fulfills his promise through a specific,
Speaker 1: albeit flawed bloodline, starting with Judas's sons and focusing on Perez,
Speaker 1: has Run and Jesse to establish the royal Messianic line
Speaker 1: the line of promise. Although Judah was the fourth son
Speaker 1: of Jacob, his genealogy is highlighted first because the dividic.
Speaker 2: Kings and Messiah Jesus descending from him. Grace over perfection.
Speaker 1: That genealogy includes individuals with dark or scandalous history, such
Speaker 1: as er wickedness, owning in tamorrow, ancestrious difficult circumstances, showcasing
Speaker 1: that God's purpose is accompanied through grace human perfection. Verses
Speaker 1: ten through seventeen trace to lineage directly to Jesse, the
Speaker 1: father of King David, grounding the monarchy in a solid
Speaker 1: historical lineage. Texts for exiles written post exile, this genealogy
Speaker 1: reminded that returning Israelites of their covenant connection to God,
Speaker 1: giving them hope that God was restoring the kingdom through
Speaker 1: the line of David, Judah, founder of the royal tribe, Perez,
Speaker 1: son of Judah, and Tamar, through whom the line continues
Speaker 1: has Ron, grandson of Judah, on ancestor of David, Jesse,
Speaker 1: David's father Mark, and the culmination of the specific highlighting line.
Speaker 1: This passage emphasizes that God uses imperfect people to fulfill
Speaker 1: his perfect, redentive and royal plans, pointing toward the ultimate
Speaker 1: son of David.
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. Thank you for I just had to get
Speaker 2: that dog inside. Okay, So I have some notes on
Speaker 2: we go back to share the screen. I have some
Speaker 2: notes on Judah's.
Speaker 1: Line, real quick, okay. So it says Juda's prominence. Verses
Speaker 1: three through four highlight Judas's sons, emphasizing the tribe significance.
Speaker 1: Judah was prophesied to be the royal tribe Genesis forty
Speaker 1: nine ten in this chapter traces the line leading to
Speaker 1: King David and ultimately to Jesus Christ. So Judah, one
Speaker 1: of the twelve tribes of Israel, holds a place in
Speaker 1: significant prominence in the Biblical history and theology. The tribe's
Speaker 1: importance is rooted in its ancestral lineage, territorial inheritance and
Speaker 1: prophetic destiny. Judah's prominence is evident in its leadership role
Speaker 1: among the tribes, its association with the Davidic monarchy, and
Speaker 1: its connection to Masonic prophecies ancestral lineage. Judah was the
Speaker 1: fourth son of Jacob and Leah, and his name means
Speaker 1: praise Genesis twenty nine, thirty thirty five. Despite not being
Speaker 1: the firstborn, Judas's action and character often positioned him as.
Speaker 2: A leader among his brothers.
Speaker 1: Notably, Judah intervened to save Joseph's life, suggesting they sell
Speaker 1: him rather than to kill him Genesis thirty seven, twenty
Speaker 1: six to twenty seven. This act, though flawed, demonstrated a
Speaker 1: sense of responsibility in leadership. Territorial inheritance, the tribe of
Speaker 1: Judah received a significant portion of land in the southern
Speaker 1: part of Canaan, as detailed in Joshua fifteen. This territory
Speaker 1: included Jerusalem, which would later become the political and spiritual
Speaker 1: center of Israel. The land of Judah was fertile and
Speaker 1: strategically located, contributing to the tribe's economic and military strength.
Speaker 1: Leadership and monarchy. Judas's leadership role is further emphasized in
Speaker 1: the blessing Jacob bestowed upon his sons and Genesis forty
Speaker 1: nine eight through ten. Jacob prophesied that Judah would be
Speaker 1: the leader among his brothers, and that the scepter will
Speaker 1: not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between
Speaker 1: his feet until Shiloh content comes. This prophecy pointed to
Speaker 1: the enduring leadership in royal lineage that would from Judah.
Speaker 1: The fulfillment of this prophecy began with King David, a
Speaker 1: descendant of Judah, who established a dynasty that would.
Speaker 2: Rule over Israel.
Speaker 1: David's reign marked a golden aide for Israel, characterized by
Speaker 1: military victories, territorial expansion, and the establishment of Jerusalem as
Speaker 1: the nation's capital. The Davidic Covenant, as recorded in two
Speaker 1: Samuel seven, promised that David's descendants would rule forever, further
Speaker 1: solidifying Judas prominence Messianic prophecies. Juda's prominence is also intricately
Speaker 1: linked to Messianic prophecies.
Speaker 2: The expectation of the future ruler.
Speaker 1: From the line of David, who would establish an everlasting
Speaker 1: kingdom as a central theme in the Old Testament. Isaiah
Speaker 1: eleven one speaks of a shoot from the stump of Jesse,
Speaker 1: David's father, who would bring justice and peace. This prophecy,
Speaker 1: along with the others like Micah five two, which foretells
Speaker 1: the birth of a ruler in Bethlehem, underscores the Messianic
Speaker 1: hope rooted in Judah. Essmon identifies Jesus CHRISTI as a
Speaker 1: fulfillment of these prophecies. Matthew one one through sixteen traces
Speaker 1: jesus genealogy back to David and Judah, affirming his rightful
Speaker 1: place as the promised Messiah. Revelation five to five refers
Speaker 1: to Jesus as the lion of the tribe of Judah,
Speaker 1: highlighting his authority and victory spiritual significance. Judah's prominence extends
Speaker 1: beyond political and territorial aspects to spiritual significance. The tribe
Speaker 1: name meaning praise reflects to call, reflects a call to
Speaker 1: worship and devotion to God. The psalms, many of which
Speaker 1: were authored by David, a Judaite, exemplified the spirit of
Speaker 1: praise and worship. Moreover, the experiences of the tribe of
Speaker 1: Judah included periods of faithfulness and rebellion, serve as lessons
Speaker 1: for spiritual growth and reliance on God's promises. The restoration
Speaker 1: of Judah after the Babylonian exile, as recounted in books
Speaker 1: like Ezra and Naemiah, demonstrates God's faithfulness to his covenant people. Conclusion,
Speaker 1: judas prominence and biblical history is multifaceted, encompassing leadership, prophecy,
Speaker 1: and spiritual legacy.
Speaker 2: Through the tribe of.
Speaker 1: Judah, God established a royal lineage, fulfilled Messianic prophecies, and
Speaker 1: provided a model of praise and devotion perfect the role
Speaker 1: of women. Also, I'll go over before we jump to
Speaker 1: verse eighteen. The role of women Verses three through four
Speaker 1: mentioned Tamar, a woman who played a crucial role in
Speaker 1: Judah's lineage. Her account in Genus thirty eight a reminder
Speaker 1: of God's grace and inclusion of unexpected individuals in his plan.
Speaker 1: The role of women is a multifaceted topic that encompasses
Speaker 1: various responsibilities, rights, and expectations.
Speaker 2: As outlined in the scriptures. Women in the.
Speaker 1: Bible are depicted in diverse roles, ranging from leaders and
Speaker 1: prophets to mothers and homemakers, each contributing uniquely to the
Speaker 1: unfolding of God's plan. So creation in the Fall. The
Speaker 1: Bible begins with the creation of man and women in
Speaker 1: the image of God. Genesis one twenty seven. So God
Speaker 1: created man in his own image, in the image of God.
Speaker 1: He created him male and female he created them. This
Speaker 1: establishes the inherited dignity and value of both men and women,
Speaker 1: and Genesis too, Eve was created as a helper suitable
Speaker 1: for Adam Genesis two eighteen indicated a complimentary partnership. The
Speaker 1: Fall introduces a distortion of the original harmony between man
Speaker 1: and women. Genesis three succeed describes the consequences for Eve,
Speaker 1: your desire will be for your husband. Your desire will
Speaker 1: be for your husband, and he will rule over you.
Speaker 1: This verse has been interpreted as a shift in relational dynamics,
Speaker 1: introducing a struggle for authority and submission women in the
Speaker 1: Old Testament. Throughout the Old Testament, women play significant roles
Speaker 1: in the narrative of God's people. Figures like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel,
Speaker 1: and Leah are pivotal. In the Abrahamic lineage. Debra stands
Speaker 1: out as a judge and prophetesce leading Israel to victory.
Speaker 1: Esther's courage saves her people from destruction, demonstrating the impact
Speaker 1: of female leadership and bravery. The Proverbs thirty one, women
Speaker 1: are often highlighted as ideal womanhood. Ideal of womanhood, embodying
Speaker 1: virtues such as wisdom, industriousness, and the fear of the Lord.
Speaker 1: Proverbs thirty one thirty states charm is deceptive and beauty
Speaker 1: is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord Yahweh
Speaker 1: is to be praised and the New Testament, women continue
Speaker 1: to play pivotal roles in the Early Church. Married the
Speaker 1: Mother of Jesus is honored for obedience and faith. Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Anna and Mary Magdalen are notably figures who witness and
Speaker 1: proclaim the works of God. Jesus' interactions with women often
Speaker 1: broke cultural norms, affirming their worth and dignity. He spoke
Speaker 1: with the Samaritan woman at the well John four, healed
Speaker 1: the woman with the issue of blood marked twenty five
Speaker 1: through thirty four, and appeared first to a woman after
Speaker 1: resurrection Matthew twenty eight one through ten.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So conclusion, the role of a woman in the Bible
Speaker 1: is complex and buried, reflecting both cultural contexts and divine principles.
Speaker 1: Women are portrayed as integral to God's redemptive plan, with
Speaker 1: roles that encompass leadership, service, and a family life. The
Speaker 1: Biblical narrative affirms the value and dignity of women, calling
Speaker 1: them to live out their God given purposes in accordance
Speaker 1: with scripture.
Speaker 2: All right, so let me just go ahead and go
Speaker 2: over the family of Hezron.
Speaker 1: Now, so first Chronicles two, verse eighteen, Caleb, the son
Speaker 1: of Hesron, had children by Azabah his wife, and and
Speaker 1: by Jurioth. Now these were her sons, Jeshure showbab art On.
Speaker 1: When Azuba died, Caleb took Frath and his wife, who
Speaker 1: bore him her and her begat Yuri and Yuri Beziliel.
Speaker 1: Now afterward, Hesron went to the daughter of Macarr, the
Speaker 1: father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty
Speaker 1: years old, and she bore seg Segab and Segab begat Jar,
Speaker 1: who had twenty three cities in the land of Gilead.
Speaker 1: Jeshar and Syria took from them the towns of Jir
Speaker 1: and Kannath, and in towns sixty in town sixty towns.
Speaker 1: All these belonged to the sons of Machir the father
Speaker 1: of Gilead after Hesron died in Caleb Efrithath Efrithal, Hesron's
Speaker 1: wife Abijab bore him Ashore, the father of Takooh.
Speaker 2: Okay, So what did we just read here?
Speaker 1: First, Chronicles two eighteen through twenty four details the genealogy
Speaker 1: of Caleb, son of Hesron, a branch of the tribe
Speaker 1: of Judah, highlighting his wives and descendants, including Beziliel. This
Speaker 1: passage reinforces the continuity of the Covenant line with Judah,
Speaker 1: tracing the important family lines and landownership Gilead after the
Speaker 1: Babylonian exile. Caleb son of Hesron the Caleb is distinct
Speaker 1: from Caleb the son of Jeffanoh the Spy. He is
Speaker 1: a grandson of Perez, the son of Judah. So though
Speaker 1: we know this is not the Caleb from the Old Testament,
Speaker 1: this is a Caleb of the Old Testament. But this
Speaker 1: is not the Caleb from the Book of Joshua. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not the different Caleb the lineage of Bazil or Beziliel.
Speaker 1: The mention of her Ori and Beziliel is significant. Bezilido
Speaker 1: is the skilled craftsman appointed by God to build the
Speaker 1: Tabernacle interesting thirty one to two, showing his family line
Speaker 1: was chosen for a purpose. Polygamy and family structure. The
Speaker 1: text mentions multiple wives, Aziba, Jareth, and e Frath, which.
Speaker 2: Was common among leaders in that era. So I have
Speaker 2: a that's right, well, okay.
Speaker 1: So I have a friend that is a pastor, pastor
Speaker 1: rich Tidwell, and he believes in polygamy even nowadays. So
Speaker 1: that's something that he would probably use to kind of
Speaker 1: kind of say, hey, well they used to do it
Speaker 1: back then, but anyways, Sti'll want to bring that up
Speaker 1: right now. Significance of land. The text mentions Hesron's later
Speaker 1: marriage to the daughter of Makir and the territory of Gilead,
Speaker 1: highlighting the expansion of this family into specific, valuable territories.
Speaker 1: Context for post ex a like audience. For the Israelites
Speaker 1: returning from Babylon, the meticulous glogies serve to re establish
Speaker 1: their identity, inheritance and connection to the Davidic line, confirming
Speaker 1: that God's promises were still valid. The passage highlights that
Speaker 1: God works through specific family lines to fulfill his promises,
Speaker 1: even admits complex family histories and generations leading toward the
Speaker 1: ultimate lineage of David. And just just to be clear,
Speaker 1: I don't think polygamy is all right, So I don't
Speaker 1: believe that polygamy is okay for a Christian. Now that's
Speaker 1: he he believes different. And I'm still friends with him,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm you know, whatever he does, he does,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm.
Speaker 2: I'm not the judge of him.
Speaker 1: But he does stick to other strict biblical ordinances, you know,
Speaker 1: and he teaches the Bible well and everything, so you know,
Speaker 1: it's just something that he believes, and he brings a
Speaker 1: lot of Old Testament passages up for that book. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna want to get off subject. Let's continue the family
Speaker 1: of Juramil.
Speaker 2: Did I already he already went over that, right, Yes, okay,
Speaker 2: So now we're.
Speaker 1: Gonna be in verse twenty five the family of Juramil.
Speaker 1: So we'll read from twenty five to forty one, and
Speaker 1: let me see if I'm missing anything in my Nope.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 1: The sons of Jeremial, the firstborn of Hesron, were Ram,
Speaker 1: the firstborn of Banah, Loreen Ozim, and a Hijah. Jeremil
Speaker 1: had another wife whose name was Atarah. She was the
Speaker 1: mother of Onam, the son of Ram. The firstborn of
Speaker 1: Juramial were maz Jamin and Akir. The sons of ONEm
Speaker 1: were SHAMAMAI or SHAMAI and Jada. The sons of SHAMAI
Speaker 1: were Nadab and Abishar. The name of the wife of
Speaker 1: a Bisher was Abi Hail, and she bore him Aban
Speaker 1: and Mold.
Speaker 2: The sons of Nadab were Salid and a Pam.
Speaker 1: Salid died without children. The son of a Pam was Ishi.
Speaker 1: The son of Ishi was Sesshon, and Sesshon's son was
Speaker 1: a Hallad. The sons of Jada, the brother of SHAMAI,
Speaker 1: was Jehar and Jonathan. Jehar died without children. The sons
Speaker 1: of Jonathan were Pelith and Zazah. These were the sons
Speaker 1: of Jaramiel. When Sheean had no sons or only daughters,
Speaker 1: and Sesshon had an Egyptian servant whose name was Jarha,
Speaker 1: Sashan gave his daughter to Jarha, his servant, as wife, and.
Speaker 2: She bore him a tie. A tie begot Nathan, Nathan
Speaker 2: begot Sabad, Zabad begot.
Speaker 1: F law and law well uh we got Obid Obid
Speaker 1: begot Jehu Jehu begot Azariah, as Ariah, begot Helles Heles,
Speaker 1: begot Ali Shah or sorry Iliya Sa begot sis My
Speaker 1: and sis My begat Shalom Shalom, begat to Jackamiah and
Speaker 1: Jakamiah begat Elishma.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go ahead and go over a brief
Speaker 2: description of what we just read there.
Speaker 1: In second Chronicles twenty five through forty one details the
Speaker 1: genealogy of Jeamiel, the firstborn of Hesron and grandson of Judah.
Speaker 1: Have that in this descendants of the Jeremlites who settled
Speaker 1: in southern Judah. This section serves as to establish the legitimacy,
Speaker 1: land rights and historical continuity of are a continuity of

Speaker 1: descendants are listed for several generations. For post XL Jews,
Speaker 1: these were lists were crucial for restoring property rights and
Speaker 1: establishing identity after the Babylonian captivity. The inclusion of an
Speaker 1: Egyptian servant, Jarha marrying into the family indicates that convenential
Speaker 1: inclusion was sometimes based on adoption or marriage into a
Speaker 1: righteous line, not just bloodline. The Jira Melites were linked
Speaker 1: to the Negev Southern Judah, an area associated with David's
Speaker 1: early life in battles. This genealogy emphasizes the meticulous preservation

Speaker 1: descendants settled key areas within the tribe of Judah, such
Speaker 1: as hebron, Zip and Bethlehem. This section documents the expansion
Speaker 1: of Judah high clans, blending individuals with geographical locations and
Speaker 1: highlights the inclusion of non Israelite groups like the Kenites,
Speaker 1: territorial and tribal organization. These verses function as a record
Speaker 1: for the relationship between caleb Bite branches and the settlements,
Speaker 1: leaking family heads to specific cities in the Judaean Hill
Speaker 1: Country and Sheppela post Excellent contexts excelic contexts written for
Speaker 1: post Exalic Jews. This list helped identify land inheritance rights

Speaker 1: ahead and give you guys some practical applications for this chapter.
Speaker 1: Were you at practical applications?
Speaker 2: That's a.
Speaker 1: Practical applications we have. Value your heritage. Reflect on your
Speaker 1: own family history and how God has worked through it.
Speaker 1: Considered how you can honor your heritage while pursuing God's
Speaker 1: calling for your life. Trusting God's plan even when life

Speaker 1: are perfect. Trust that He is perfect in all things
Speaker 1: for good Romans eight twenty eight. Next, embrace God's grace
Speaker 1: like Tamorrow, recognized that God's grace is available to all,
Speaker 1: regardless of past mistakes or societal status. Embraces forgiveness and redemption.
Speaker 1: Next one, acknowledge God's faithfulness. As you read through genealogies,
Speaker 1: be reminded of God's faithfulness throughout generations. He is the
Speaker 1: same yesterday, today, and forever Hebrews thirteen, verse eight, and
Speaker 1: then some additional scriptures that connect. We have Genesis forty nine,
Speaker 1: verse ten, the prophecy of Judah's royal lineage, and then
Speaker 1: we have Matthew one one through seventeen, the genealogy of
Speaker 1: Jesus connected back to First Chronicles two, Romans eight twenty
Speaker 1: eight assurance of God's sovereign plan for good, and then
Speaker 1: Romans thirteen eight the unchanging.
Speaker 2: Nature of God perfect. Let me go to chapter three.
Speaker 1: We have about twenty five minutes to finish this one,
Speaker 1: so I just want to make sure that we get
Speaker 1: through it. Let me go over a brief description introduction
Speaker 1: of First Chronicles three. First Chronicle three. First Chronicles three
Speaker 1: offers a meticulously structured list tracing the genealogy of King
Speaker 1: David through the kingly line of Judah, showing a progression
Speaker 1: from the renowned, renowned King David to his descendants who
Speaker 1: occupied the throne. This chapter is a testament to God's
Speaker 1: promise of a perpetual kingdom established through David's lineage. All right,
Speaker 1: so let's go ahead and go to chapter three.
Speaker 2: Let me get a drink. Thank you for your patience.
Speaker 2: All right, the family of David. So we're in first
Speaker 2: chronicles three. We're going to start at verse one.
Speaker 1: Now, these were the sons of David who were born
Speaker 1: to him in Hebron. The firstborn was Amnon by Ahim
Speaker 1: Noam the Jezreelites. The second Daniel by Abigail the Karmelitis.
Speaker 1: The third Absalom, the son of Macaw, the daughter of Talmai,
Speaker 1: king of Jashir.
Speaker 2: The fourth Adam Jai, the son of Hagith.
Speaker 1: The fifth Shephati by Abatall. The sixth Ithraim by his
Speaker 1: wife Igla. So you see how David had several different
Speaker 1: wives here, right, These six were born to him in Hebron.
Speaker 1: There he reigned seven years and six months, and in
Speaker 1: Jerusalem he reigned thirty three years. And these were born
Speaker 1: to him in Jerusalem Shamiyah, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon four
Speaker 1: by Bathashua, the daughter of Emil. Also there were Ibhar, Elishama, Fheilet, Noga,
Speaker 1: neph Egg, Jefiah, Elishama, Elidia, and Eliphet.
Speaker 2: Nine.
Speaker 1: In all, these were all all the sons of David,
Speaker 1: besides the son of the concubines and Tamar their sister.
Speaker 1: All right, so that we'll stop there. Let me see
Speaker 1: how oh this is very short. Okay, we'll get through
Speaker 1: this in twenty five minutes for sure. Okay, So we
Speaker 1: went through one through nine David's lineage. First Chronicles three
Speaker 1: one through nine lists the sons of David, emphasizing the
Speaker 1: importance of his family in Israel's history. The genealogy underscores
Speaker 1: God's covenant with David, as seen in Tewod Samuel seventh
Speaker 1: twelve through sixteen. David, the second King of Israel, is
Speaker 1: a central figure in the Biblical history, renowned for his leadership, psalms,
Speaker 1: and his role in the lineage of Jesus Christ. His
Speaker 1: ancestry and descendants are significant to understand the fulfillment of
Speaker 1: biblical prophecy and the unfolding of God's covenant with Israel.
Speaker 1: Ancestry of David. David was the youngest son of Jesse,
Speaker 1: a Bethmlite beth Philamite from the tribe of Judah. Jesse
Speaker 1: was the son of Obid, who was the son of
Speaker 1: Boaz and Ruth. Very interesting, like I said earlier, the
Speaker 1: account of Boas in Ruth is a remarkable account of
Speaker 1: redemption and providence as Ruth, a Moabite woman, became part
Speaker 1: of the Israelite community and through her marriage to Boaz.
Speaker 1: So that's interesting, she's a Mobiite. Wow, So we went
Speaker 1: over Ruth already, right, So that's why I kind of
Speaker 1: noticed that that was Boaz. I know who Boas is.
Speaker 1: This unit is significant as it highlights God's inclusive plan
Speaker 1: and the integration, that integration of gentiles into his covenant people.
Speaker 1: The genealogy of David is outlined in the Book of
Speaker 1: Ruth and the Book of First Chronicles Ruth four eighteen
Speaker 1: through twenty two provides a concise genealogy. Now, these are
Speaker 1: the generations of Perez. Perez was the father of Hezrons
Speaker 1: was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of
Speaker 1: Aminidad was the father of Nashaun. Nasham was the father
Speaker 1: of Solomon. Salomon was the father of Boaz. Boaz was
Speaker 1: the father of Obed. Obed was the father of Jesse.
Speaker 1: Jesse was the father of David. David's reign and covenant
Speaker 1: David's rain is king is marked by his deep faith
Speaker 1: in God, his military conquests, and his establishment of Jerusalem
Speaker 1: is the political and spiritual center of Jerusalem are of Israel. Sorry,
Speaker 1: God made a covenant with David, promising that his throne
Speaker 1: would be established forever. The covenant is recorded in Tewod
Speaker 1: Samuel seven, verses twelve through sixteen. When your days are fulfilled,
Speaker 1: then you rest with your fathers. I will raise up
Speaker 1: your offspring after you, who will come from your own body,
Speaker 1: and I will establish his kingdom. He will build a
Speaker 1: house for my name, and I will establish the throne
Speaker 1: of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and
Speaker 1: he will be my son. When he does wrong, I
Speaker 1: will discipline him with the rod of men and with
Speaker 1: the blows of the sons of men. But my loving
Speaker 1: devotion will never be removed from him, as I are
Speaker 1: moved it from Saul, whom I moved out of your way.
Speaker 1: Your house and kingdom will Enduel forever before me, and
Speaker 1: your throne will be established forever descendants of David. David's
Speaker 1: lineage continued through his son Solomon, who succeeded him as
Speaker 1: king and built the first temple. In Solomon's wisdom and
Speaker 1: wealth renowned. I'm not going to go over the Solomon
Speaker 1: part because we're about to read about.
Speaker 2: The family of Solomon.
Speaker 1: The line of David is meticulous recorded in the genealogy
Speaker 1: of the New Testament, underscoring its importance in the Messianic prophecies.
Speaker 1: Matthew one one through seventeen traces his genealogy to Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: affirming his descendant dissent from David. The prophets foretold that
Speaker 1: Messiah would come in David's line, a promise that is
Speaker 1: central to the hope of Israel. Isaiah eleven to one
Speaker 1: prophesies a shoot will spring from the stump of Jesse,
Speaker 1: and a branch from his roots will bear fruit. Jeremiah
Speaker 1: twenty three five through six also speaks of this promise. Behold,
Speaker 1: the days are coming, declares the Lord. When I will
Speaker 1: raise up for David a righteous branch, and he will
Speaker 1: reign wisely as king, and will administer justice and righteousness
Speaker 1: in the land. And this day's Judah will be saved
Speaker 1: in Israel, will dwell securely. And this is the name
Speaker 1: by which he will be called, the Lord our Righteousness.
Speaker 1: The New Testament writers affirm that Jesus is the fulfillment
Speaker 1: of these prophecies. In Luke one two through thirty three,
Speaker 1: the Angel Gabrie announces to marry.
Speaker 2: He will be great, who will.
Speaker 1: Be called the son of the Most High. The Lord
Speaker 1: God will give him the throne of his father David,
Speaker 1: and he will reign over the House of Jacob forever,
Speaker 1: and his kingdom will never end. David's lineage, therefore, is
Speaker 1: not only a historical record, but a testament to God's
Speaker 1: faithfulness and fulfilling his promises through Jesus Christ, the Eternal King.
Speaker 2: From the House of David. All right, now we read
Speaker 2: First Chronicles three, verses one through nine.
Speaker 1: It documents the genealogy of King David's sons, specifically separated
Speaker 1: them by his reign and Hebron six sons and Jerusalem
Speaker 1: thirteen plus sons, including Solomon and Tamar. This passes emphasized
Speaker 1: the establishment of the Davidic line, tracing the royal succession,
Speaker 1: high in God's faithfulness to his covenant despite the familial
Speaker 1: the familial dysfunction and moral failings of David's household. First
Speaker 1: Chronicles thirty one one through nine David's royal lineage. The
Speaker 1: passage list sons born to different wives and Hebron and Jerusalem,
Speaker 1: showing the growth of the royal family. The Hebron Sons
Speaker 1: one through four. Six sons were born during David's seven
Speaker 1: point five year reign over Judah, while Amnon and Absalom
Speaker 1: mentioned noted for their prominent, often tumultuous rules. The Jerusalem
Speaker 1: Sons thirteen sons were born in Jerusalem, including Solomon, who
Speaker 1: was chosen to succeed David, highlighting the transition of power
Speaker 1: contexts for post exilic I guess you could say that
Speaker 1: Exile Israel. Written for the returning exiles, the lists reminded
Speaker 1: them of their royal heritage and God's promised to maintain
Speaker 1: the Davidic line, which eventually led to Jesus significance. It
Speaker 1: serves to confirm the legitimate errors of David's throne and
Speaker 1: demonstrate that gods would have to plan continues through imperfect
Speaker 1: human agents. The passage acts as a bridge in the
Speaker 1: genealogies of chronicles, showing that even amidst family strife, God's
Speaker 1: covenanial promise that David remained secure.
Speaker 2: Right perfect. Let's go ahead and.
Speaker 1: Read the family of Solomon. Solomon's son was Raya Boham
Speaker 1: Abajah was his son A saw his son jehosephat his
Speaker 1: son Joram, his son, Jaziah, his son, joe Ash his son, Ozamiah,
Speaker 1: his son, Amaziah, his son, Azariah, his son, Jotham, his son, AHAs,
Speaker 1: his son, Hezekiah, his son, Nassai his son aim And
Speaker 1: his son, and Josiah his son. The sons of Josiah
Speaker 1: were John, but then the firstborn, the second Jehokim, the third, Zedekiah,
Speaker 1: the fourth Shaloom. The sons of Jehokim were Jack Andiah
Speaker 1: his son, and Zedekiah his son. Okay, so important all
Speaker 1: these people we read about in First and Second Kings, right,
Speaker 1: we're going through like all their reigns. Right. So, First
Speaker 1: Chronicles three, verses ten through sixteen outlines the royal lineage
Speaker 1: of Judah from Solomon through the Babylonian exile, focusing on
Speaker 1: the direct legitimate succession of dividic kings Raya, Boham, asaw Has, Akiah, Josiah,
Speaker 1: et cetera. It emphasizes God's covenant faithfulness in maintaining David's
Speaker 1: line despite exile and disobedience royal succession. The passage list
Speaker 1: the kings of Judah in chronological order, from Solomon into
Speaker 1: exile from nine thirty BC to five eighty six pc
Speaker 1: Solomon because Zedekiah. It documents the kings from Solomon's son
Speaker 1: Ray Boham down to King Zedekiah, under whom the exile
Speaker 1: occurred Josiah's sons. It identifies King josiah sons Johann, Jejokim, Zebit, Wait, Zedekiah, Saloon,
Speaker 1: and notes the lineage down to Jack Andiah, who was
Speaker 1: taken into exile. Theological purpose, the purpose demonstrates continuity in
Speaker 1: David's line, highlighting that God kept his promise despite Israel's failures.
Speaker 1: This genealogy, likely compiled after their return from exile, was
Speaker 1: essential for the people to identify the rightful descendants of David.
Speaker 1: The list underlines the ultimate in fulfillment of the Messianic promise,
Speaker 1: as the direct line eventually leads to Jesus Christ. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Solomon's reign. In Verses ten through sixteen traced the
Speaker 1: line of kings from Solomon, highlighting the continuity of David's
Speaker 1: royal line despite the challenges and failures of some kings. Solomon,
Speaker 1: the son of King David and Bathsheba, is one of
Speaker 1: the most renowned figures in Biblical history, known for his wisdom, wealth,
Speaker 1: and the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem. His
Speaker 1: reign is detailed primarily in the books of First Kings
Speaker 1: and Second Chronicles, and he is also credited with the
Speaker 1: authoring several biblical books, including Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the songs
Speaker 1: The Song of Solomon. Ascension to the throne, Solomon's pastor
Speaker 1: of the throne was not without challenges. As David's health declined,
Speaker 1: a power struggle ensured ad In Nijah, another son of David,
Speaker 1: attempted to claim the throne. However, Bathsheba and the prophet
Speaker 1: Nathan intervene reminded David of his promise that Solomon would
Speaker 1: succeed him.
Speaker 2: David then publicly declared.
Speaker 1: Solomon as king, as recorded in First Kings one thirty
Speaker 1: through forty, I will surely carry out today what I
Speaker 1: swore to you by the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel. Solomon,
Speaker 1: your son shall be king after me, and he shall
Speaker 1: sit on my throne in my place. Wisdom and wealth.
Speaker 1: Solomon's wisdom is legendary, a gift from God in response
Speaker 1: to his humble requests for a discernment to govern the people.
Speaker 1: In First Kings three verses nine, through twelve. Solomon asked,
Speaker 1: give your servant therefore and understanding heart to judge your
Speaker 1: people and the discern between good and evil. Pleased with
Speaker 1: this request, God grants him unparalleled wisdom as well as
Speaker 1: rich as in honor. His wisdom is demonstrated in various ways,
Speaker 1: including famous judgment involving two women claiming to be the
Speaker 1: mother of a child. Solomon's ability to discern the true
Speaker 1: mother solidified his reputation for wisdom. This account is in
Speaker 1: First Kings three sixteen through twenty eight. Solomon's wealth and
Speaker 1: prosperity are also well documented. His reign is marked by
Speaker 1: extensive trade alliances and the accumulation of wealth. The visit
Speaker 1: of the Queen of Sheba, as described in First Kings
Speaker 1: ten one through thirteen, highlights the international fame and the
Speaker 1: splendor of his court. One of Solomon's most significant achievements
Speaker 1: was the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem, at
Speaker 1: tasked his father David, was denied but was not oh
Speaker 1: that his father David desired but was not permitted to complete.
Speaker 1: Solomon's temple became the central place of worship for the Israelites,
Speaker 1: and How's the ark of the Covenant. The construction is
Speaker 1: detailed in First king six, Chapter six and chapter seven,
Speaker 1: and Second Chronicles three in chapter four, which we're going
Speaker 1: to get to soon, emphasizing the grandeur and meticulous craftsrom
Speaker 1: shit involved, craftsmanship involved, okay. Solomon's reign lasted approximately forty years,
Speaker 1: and his legacy is a complex one. He is remembered
Speaker 1: for his wisdom, the prosperity of Israel during his reign,
Speaker 1: and the construction of the temple. However, his lady years
Speaker 1: were marked by spiritual decline set in the states for
Speaker 1: eventual decision of the kingdom. Solomon's life serves as a
Speaker 1: reminder of the importance of faithfulness to God's commandments and
Speaker 1: the consequences of turning away from him. So, whoever is
Speaker 1: still with me here, if you're.
Speaker 2: Still with me right now?
Speaker 1: In First Chronicles, Chapter three, Verse seventeen, I want you
Speaker 1: guys to leave a comment on Spotify for me, or
Speaker 1: leave a comment on Patreon. I'll try to read them.
Speaker 1: I think there was a comment on Patreon. Actually, this
Speaker 1: woman was saying that just do I need help reading?
Speaker 1: I don't know if you were asking me, like, if
Speaker 1: you could comment on this one and let me know
Speaker 1: if you do read this, what you meant by that.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: If I was asking for help on something, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: But as far as me going through the Bible, I'll,
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of do it solo because I
Speaker 1: try to do it with a partner, you know, with
Speaker 1: several partners in the very beginning. And the thing is,
Speaker 1: I know that I will study, and I know that
Speaker 1: I'll put in the work to study the word that
Speaker 1: I'm going to go over, and I don't.
Speaker 2: Like to depend on anybody else, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you yourself, if you were were
Speaker 1: thinking maybe to come and help with this, or if
Speaker 1: anybody wants coming up with this, I know that I
Speaker 1: will study. I've had a I have a I had
Speaker 1: a co host on my other show, Josh Monday Christian
Speaker 1: Conspiracy Podcast. It was my brother and a lot of
Speaker 1: the times he was kind of there for the comedic
Speaker 1: part and I was there. I was being serious about,
Speaker 1: you know, the conspiracies and everything. My brother was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: I need to lighten the mood up and I need
Speaker 1: to be the.
Speaker 2: Comedic part.
Speaker 1: And that's what he was, you know. So I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's going to come back to me. But anyways,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to let you know I did see
Speaker 1: that comment. I'll look through it again and see what
Speaker 1: you meant by that, or if you can leave me
Speaker 1: a comment, let me know.
Speaker 2: But there we go.
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and jump now to verse seventeen,
Speaker 1: and it's the family of Jack and Ayah. Jack and
Speaker 1: Iah is interesting. So let's see if maybe any of
Speaker 1: my notes bring up that. But Jack and Iyah is
Speaker 1: somebody that's in Jesus's line, that was there was like
Speaker 1: a curse on him.
Speaker 2: So let's look this up.
Speaker 1: It says the family of Jack and Iyah. Or let's
Speaker 1: not look this up. I mean, let's read this. It
Speaker 1: says the family of Jack Andiah. And the sons of
Speaker 1: Jack and Iyah were a seer A Sir shaliel Teal
Speaker 1: Wait shil Teal his son. And these names are getting
Speaker 1: harder and harder as I go. I'm telling you, guys, Malcolm,
Speaker 1: ram Pidia, shen Azar, Jeckemiah, Hoshama, and Nedebiah. The sons
Speaker 1: of Padillah were Zarah, Ball and SHAMAI. The sons of
Speaker 1: Zeribaal were a Meshalam, Hannah Hannai shau Mith, their sister,
Speaker 1: and Hashibal o'hel Bevera, Kiah, Hasadiyah and Jushab has said five.
Speaker 2: In all the sons of.
Speaker 1: Hennaanaiah were Pelatiah and Joshiah, the sons of Raphaiah, the
Speaker 1: sons of Arnan, the sons of Obadiah, and the sons
Speaker 1: of Shekhanyah. The son of shek Andyah was Shamayah. The
Speaker 1: sons of Shamayah were hattush egle Bariah, Nariah and Shafat.
Speaker 2: Six. And all the sons of Nariah were Ilioniah, Hezekiah
Speaker 2: and arakham Azrakhim. Three. And all the sons of Elanyah
Speaker 2: and Obabiah Eliashib Playah a kub Joonah, Deliah. Is that
Speaker 2: it Deliah, and then I seven In all we made it.
Speaker 2: We made it. Wow.
Speaker 1: That is like tongue twisting, and trying to get all
Speaker 1: those names is crazy. But let's see what my notes
Speaker 1: say here. Exilic and post Exalic Generations Verses seventeen through
Speaker 1: twenty four cover the descendants during and after the Babylonian exile,
Speaker 1: demonstrating God's faithfulness preserving David's line even in difficult times.
Speaker 1: So says The Exileic and Postalic generations refer to the
Speaker 1: periods in Israel's history surrounding the Babylonian exile and the
Speaker 1: subsequent return to Jerusalem. These errors are pivotal in understanding
Speaker 1: the transformation of Jewish identity, religious practices, and the fulfillment
Speaker 1: or prophetic promises. The exile like period began with the
Speaker 1: Babylonian conquests of Jerusalem in five eighty six BC, an
Speaker 1: event that marked significant turning point for the Israelites. The Babylonians,
Speaker 1: under King Nebukonezer, destroyed the First Temple and carried a
Speaker 1: large portion of the population to captivity in Babylon. This
Speaker 1: period is characterized profound theological reflection and an adaptation of
Speaker 1: the Israelites, grappled with the loss of their land, temple,
Speaker 1: and monarchy. During the exile, the Jewish people experience a
Speaker 1: deepening of their faith and a renowned focus on the Torah.
Speaker 1: The absence of the temple led to the development of
Speaker 1: synagogues as centers for worship and community life. Prophets like
Speaker 1: Ezekiel and Daniel emerged during this time, offering messages of
Speaker 1: hope and future restoration. Ezekiel for instance envisioned a new
Speaker 1: temple and restored Israel Ezekiel forty, Chapter forty through chapter
Speaker 1: forty eight, while Daniel's visions provided assurance of God's sovereignty
Speaker 1: over the nations Daniel Chapter two, Daniel Chapter seven. The
Speaker 1: posts Exiley period began with the decree of Cyrus the
Speaker 1: Greater Persia in five point thirty eight BC, allowing the
Speaker 1: Jewish exiles to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple.
Speaker 1: This return fulfilled the prophetic words of Jeremiah, who had
Speaker 1: foretold a seventy year exile. The books of Ezra and
Speaker 1: Niemiah provide detailed accounts of the challenges and triumphs faced
Speaker 1: by the returning exiles. Ezra, ascribe and priests played a
Speaker 1: crucial role in re establishing the law and religious practices
Speaker 1: among the people. He led a second wave of returnees
Speaker 1: and was instrumental in the spiritual renewal of the community. Neamiyah,
Speaker 1: serving as governor, focused on the physical and social restoration
Speaker 1: of Jerusalem, including the rebuilding of the city walls Neemiah
Speaker 1: six Verse fifteen and sixteen. The Postixalic prophets Hagai, Zachariah,
Speaker 1: and Malakiah Malachi expressed the spiritual and moral issues of
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 2: I'm hearing a fly somewhere and it's like a loud fly. Sorry, guys.
Speaker 1: The posts okay ha Guy and Zachariah encouraged the people
Speaker 1: to complete the rebuilding of the temple, emphasizing that its
Speaker 1: glory would suppress surpassed the former temple a Guy two nine.
Speaker 1: Malachi confronted issues of complacency and called for genuine worship
Speaker 1: and faithfulness to the Covenant.
Speaker 2: Okay so.
Speaker 1: Biblical with the exile and post generations also witnessed the
Speaker 1: emergence of new literary forms, such as apocalyptic literature, which
Speaker 1: offered hope and assurance of divine intervention in history. This
Speaker 1: period laid the groundwork for the Messianic expectations that would
Speaker 1: later find fulfillment in the New Testament. Okay, so, so
Speaker 1: I'll go over a brief description of what we just read.
Speaker 2: First.
Speaker 1: Chronicles three seventeen through twenty four traces the royal lineage
Speaker 1: of David through the Babylonian exile into the post Exalic period,
Speaker 1: focusing on Jack and Aiah, Jehokiing Jehoi Chin and his descendants,
Speaker 1: including zero Ball, Zero Babel, despite the loss of Zeru Babbel,
Speaker 1: despite the loss of the three and the exile, these
Speaker 1: verses show God preserved David's line, providing hope for the
Speaker 1: future Messiah and confirming that God's covenant promises remain active.
Speaker 1: Key aspects of First Chronicles thirty three seventeen through twenty
Speaker 1: four include the posts exile like remnant the text list
Speaker 1: descendants of Jack Andiah, who was taken captive by Babylon.
Speaker 1: Although kingship seized, the line continues through Setteel or sil
Speaker 1: Til and zero Babel Zerobibel. I think that's what it is, Zerobabel, Sorry,
Speaker 1: I said earlier, Babel, who is central to rebuilding the temple.
Speaker 2: Significance of the lineage.
Speaker 1: That genealogy extends well after the exile, likely close to
Speaker 1: the time of Ezra or even Alexander the Great, demonstrating
Speaker 1: God's faithfulness of preserving the royal line hope admits ruined.
Speaker 1: The list demonstrates that God's purpose continued despite Judah's disobedience, captivity,
Speaker 1: and the decay of the royal glory connection to the Messiah.
Speaker 1: This genealogy served to show the preservation of the royal line,
Speaker 1: from which Jesus Christ would eventually come, highlighting the theme
Speaker 1: of redemption and the continuation of the Davidic covenant the past.
Speaker 1: It serves as a record of continuity, continuity ensuring the
Speaker 1: post exile exilic exilic community from their identity and God's continued,
Speaker 1: albeit different work through the House of David. So that's
Speaker 1: the end of chapter three.
Speaker 2: We got through this. Thank you Lord. I appreciate all
Speaker 2: of you guys staying sticking with this. Thank you. All right,
Speaker 2: let's go over some practical applications for your life. The
Speaker 2: reason why I say.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord is because going through all those names
Speaker 1: and not being able to speak Hebrew and trying to
Speaker 1: pronounce them for me is not the easiest thing in
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 2: So thank you.
Speaker 1: Let's go over some practical application. Trust in God's promises.
Speaker 1: Just as God was faithful to his covenant with David,
Speaker 1: we can trust him to fulfill his promises.
Speaker 2: In our lives.
Speaker 1: Next, value of heritage. Understanding our spiritual heritage can strengthen
Speaker 1: our faith and identity as part of God's family, perseverance
Speaker 1: through trials. The preservation of David's line through exile encourages
Speaker 1: us to remain steadfast in faith during our own trials,
Speaker 1: and then a couple scriptures that connect We have Tewod
Speaker 1: Samuel seven twelve through sixteen, God's Covenant with David promising
Speaker 1: in Everlasting Kingdom. And then next we have the same
Speaker 1: one that we had before, Matthew one one through seventeen,
Speaker 1: the Geology of Jesus, connecting him to David's line Romans
Speaker 1: one three through four. Jesus as the descendant of David
Speaker 1: declared the Son of God. Okay, so that's everything.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: We finished that up. That was great and we finished
Speaker 1: right in time. Three chapters were perfect.

Speaker 2: screen share.

Speaker 1: really appreciate you sticking around for this. And do I
Speaker 1: have any updates or anything.

Speaker 1: I don't really have any crazy updates. I think everything's
Speaker 1: been going pretty smoothly. The Bible studies I think have
Speaker 1: been going great. So I appreciate you guys sticking around.

Speaker 2: ahead and end this in prayer.
Speaker 1: So, Father God, in the name of Jesus, thank you
