A message from the series “1 & 2 Chronicles 2006.” In the final chapters of 2 Chronicles, we continue with the reforms brought about by good king Hezekiah and how he restored the Passover after many years of neglect. After him, Manasseh reigned for 55 years and because he brought idolatry into the nation, God then brought the future judgment upon the people because of the nation’s ungodliness. The last good king to reign in the South was Josiah, who once again brought the people back into a right relationship with God. After him there were no more good kings and finally in 606 BC the nation was taken captive with the first deportation to Babylon. Eventually in 586 BC, the city of Jerusalem was overrun by the invading army of Babylon.
A message from the series “1 & 2 Chronicles 2006.” As we advance the historical timeline of the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel, the days more or less became darker. However, there were times when Judah would have a good king who would bring the nation back into a right relationship with God. However, the Northern Kingdom of Israel never had a good, godly king and thus the nation went deeper into idolatry and never experienced a revival. In this study, Pastor Jack points out some of the good kings of Judah, principally Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah, and Hezekiah. The study ends with us looking at the reforms of Hezekiah as he brought revival to the nation and restored Temple worship.

In the years that followed Solomon, the Southern Kingdom of Judah had a few good kings, with Asa being one. The Northern Kingdom of Israel had no good kings. Typically of these historical books, 2 Chronicles chronologically goes back and forth between the reigns of the various kings of the two kingdoms.
A message from the series “1 & 2 Chronicles 2006.” The books of 1 & 2 Chronicles depict God’s view of Israel whereas 1 & 2 Kings are from man’s perspective. As such, we get God’s account of the historic record of the events that took place after Solomon, which was the breakdown of the unified Kingdom leaving a permanent split between Judah and the rest of the tribes of Israel.
A message from the series “1 & 2 Chronicles 2006.” Beginning with 2 Chronicles, the historic record of the nation of Israel continues beginning with the reign of Solomon and the building and dedication of the Temple. Until Jesus would come and die for man’s sins, the only access to God for atonement was through the animal sacrifices at the Temple in Jerusalem.
