The Monarchy
More fascinating information that will change how I see and study
Scripture from now on was presented this evening. I used to think that the monarchy of Israel
was God’s response to the people’s desire to have a king rule over them. Not anymore.
What I learned tonight was that God always intended to install the
monarchy…with David! Israel was
impatient, though, so the Lord gave them Saul.
WOW!!!
Did you ever wonder why David picked
up five stones when he went to face Goliath?
According to Dr. Missler, Goliath had four other family members that
David might have needed to face. Cool,
but I’m still checking this claim out.
Check it out for yourself: 2 Sam 21:18-21.
We are the temple of
God. Human architecture (heart, soul,
mind, strength) corresponds with the architecture of the temple. This is an incredible study that is not to be
missed. We also touch on the leadership
of Solomon, Elijah and Elisha. Another
significant object lesson is found in the quote from Georg Wilhem Friedrich
Hegel: “The history of man teaches us
that man learns nothing from history.”
Ouch! How can we obliterate that
downward spiral?
What have you learned
from your study of the Bible that has impacted the way you live for the better?
Yes, there is homework for next time: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of
Songs. I can’t wait!
