Written to encourage returning exiles, the Books of 1 and 2 Chronicles emphasize God's covenant grace and His messianic promises to His people through King David. In 1 Chronicles, the Chronicler includes genealogies beginning with Adam and highlights of David's idealized reign.
In 2 Chronicles, the Chronicler highlights the idealized reign of King Solomon. As the exiles sought to rebuild Solomon's once-glorious temple, God was already building up His people for the appearance of His incarnate Word, David's Son, our Savior Jesus Christ.
In this study you will learn about
God's loving forgiveness evidenced in the life of His people;
God's gracious deeds and the purpose of recounting them;
God's faithful promise to provide the world a Savior.
