Encouragement for the Chronicles

Hey Readers,

Here's a bit of info about 1 and 2 Chronicles. First of all, they start off with a few chapters of genealogies, which I know can be a little tiring and discouraging to read. But press through (even skim them if you want) because by the time you get to chapter 10 you will start to read some of the most interesting history in the Bible.

The books of the Chronicles primarily focuses on the southern Kingdom of Judah. 1 Chronicles mainly focuses on reign of King David while the second books talks about many of the other great (and not sot great) kings of Judah. I hope you enjoy many of the fascinating stories in these books.

It's also worth noting that these books were most likely written after the Kingdom of Judah was destroyed and the people went into exile and then returned 70 years later. This book was written to encourage these returning exiles that God had not forgotten about them but that He has a loving plan and future for His people.

Enjoy!

you got it... thanks for thinking of this in advance. I can only imagine that it's only going to get busier and busier as we get closer to Christmas. I'll try and put up the schedule for the rest of the year as soon as possible.
