Excerpt
The way God organized the Bible, Chronicles is the last book of the Old Testament. It ties in beautifully with the last book of the New Testament.
God inspired 1 and 2 Chronicles as a single book.
This world is lost in the present. God is always challenging His people to keep the overview—to see the grand sweep both historically and prophetically. The book of Chronicles can really help us to do that.
Chronicles is prefaced by massive genealogies that extend from the beginning of man to the Babylonian captivity—a terrible end. 1 Chronicles 1-9 contain a sweeping genealogy. The very first word of Chronicles is Adam. Adam is a key word to this genealogy that gives us the historical overview. This genealogy begins with God and Adam and the tree of life. We always fail if we don’t eat from the tree of life. Ezra, the author of Chronicles, wanted to make sure that people understood where it all began. Man must never forget his spectacular origin—the beginning of the movie. We always tend to forget that history.
However, the book of Chronicles focuses mainly on the second Adam, who is going to rule on David’s throne forever. He frees the nations of Israel from the final and worst Babylonian captivity—a horrifying end, followed immediately by the rule of the second Adam forever. If we view this book spiritually, we get an inspiring prophecy of the future.
