In the Jewish Hebrew Bible Chronicles is all one book. It is an important book for the church today, for our nation and for all that is going on in the world. Author - Jewish tradition is that Ezra was the author of Chronicles Date: Ezra c. 450-430 BC? Contents: 1. Last of the Ketuvim/Writings 2. Hebrew title + "Words of Days" (journals) Chronicles is a theological interpretation of history. It not only tells what happened long ago but it shares the spiritual impact of those events. Judgment falls in order to bring them back to God. 1. unfaithfulness by the leaders, priests, Kings and people brings judgment not just individually but nationally. 2. faithfulness by God's leaders and people brings blessings individually and nationally. It does not mean everything will go smoothly. Outline of 1 7 2 Chronicles ⁃ 1 Chronicle 1-9 - Genealogy that goes from Adam to King Saul ⁃ 1 Chronicles 10-29 - about David knowing the living God and how influential David was in the building of the Temple ⁃ 2 Chronicles 1-9 - about Solomon building the Temple and reminds God's people that when we worship the Lord as He ought to be worshipped the results are incredible. ⁃ 2 Chronicles 10-36 - Some of the stories of Judah's kings and prophets up through the Exile. We read about David's desire to build a temple for worship of God. But David was a warrior and the Lord wanted David's son to build the temple - God wanted a man of peace. David gave his son Solomon the detailed plans for the Temple that the Spirit of God had given him. David also has all the materials set aside for building the Temple. He encourages his son to be strong and courageous in staying firm in getting the Temple built and that the Lord would be with him. David was a man of faith, future "good" kings were those who walked in the way of David. David was whole-heartedly devoted to God, but NOT sinless. 
 Solomon starts well by ends not so well. When he started God told Solomon to ask for whatever he wanted and that He would give it. Solomon replies with a request for goodness and knowledge and wisdom to rule the people wisely. God replies that wisdom and knowledge, wealth and honor would be given to Solomon in great measure. Solomon gets the Temple built. After his dedication prayer, fire comes down from heaven and the glory of the Lord fills the Temple. One of the themes in Chronicles is that if we seek God with all our heart, we will find Him. But if we turn our backs on Him the consequences are disastrous. God makes the promise of "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Many look at that verse and say it doesn't apply to us now, but only to the nation of Israel. Pastor points out that it is addressed to "God's people" not to a nation. Over and over again in the Bible, we see God is continually calling His people to return to Him, to turn from their wickedness and sin and to answer the call to repentance. The stories in Chronicles, of turning back to God, give us great encouragement and comfort and hope. No matter how far we wander from Him, when we turn back, He is ready to receive us with open arms. There is no one outside God's radius of love and mercy and His ability to transform and renew and forgive and change. Pastor overviews several kings and rulers in 2 Chronicles sharing the consequences of their choices around following God or not. And then gives us a look at a letter written by the prophet Elijah to King Jehoram. Chronicles ends with the original Books of Moses being found by a priest and Josiah has the books read to him. He realizes there is a need to repentant, and works to bring the people back to God. God's desire is to always draw us back to Him.
