His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Psalm 89:29, 35-37

  12. Perpetuity Confirmed Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; Acts 2:30

  24. Solomon • Personally • Brilliant, but lacked moral vigor • Excessively Self-indulgent • Historically • Peak of Israel’s prosperity • Visit of the Queen of Sheba • “Solomon in all his glory…” • Typically • Positive: Millennial Reign? • Hidden Negative? (Salary = 666; et al)

  25. The Peak of the Kingdom • From the Mediterranean to the Euphrates • From the Red Sea and Arabia to Lebanon • Tributary states held in subjection • Canaanites became peaceable subjects or useful servants • Immense treasures won by David, supplemented with oppressive taxation

  26. Solomon’s Failure • Israel’s kings should not multiply wealth, horses, or wives Deut 17:14-20 • Solomon did all three • Traded in chariots, horses • Indulged many foreign wives (700+300!) from the very nations warned against • Introduced false gods and false worship • Solomon’s self-life had its full swing • In the end, turning away sad and sick of it all • Ecclesiastes: “All is Vanity…”

  28. Failure to Bring Justice • Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked. (1 Kings 3:11-12) • When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice. (1 Kings 3:28) • Praise be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of the Lord’s eternal love for Israel, he has made you king to maintain justice and righteousness. (1 Kings 10:9)

  29. Failure to Bring Justice • Israel’s mandate was to be a holy nation and kingdom of priests, to become the light to the gentiles, to show the world the justice and righteousness of Yahweh. • “Here is the account of the forced labor King Solomon conscripted to build the Lord’s temple, his own palace, the terraces, the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, Megiddo and Gezer.” 1 Kings 9:15 • Solomon has become an anti-God character.

  30. The Divided Kingdom • Rehoboam’s Folly • Ill-advised expansion of excessive taxation • Jeroboam’s “Opportunity” • Established alternative worship centers (to break Jerusalem’s hold on the people) • Dan in the North • Bethel in the South • The Nation split into two: • The Northern Kingdom under Jeroboam (“Israel”) • The Southern Kingdom under Rehoboam (“Judah”)

Carmel 1 Kings 18 • Translated into Heaven 2 Kings 2

  33. Confrontation on Mt. Carmel1 Kings 18 • “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people said nothing. 1 Kings 18:21 • Challenged Baal to match altars and sacrifices • Mocked them openly… • After dousing him 3 times with water, called fire down and consumed his offering • …then slaughtered the 450 prophets of Baal.

  40. Object Lesson Ignored “The history of man teaches us that man learns nothing from history.”— Georg Wilhem Friedrich Hegel • With the exceptions of Hezekiah and Josiah, the downgrade continued in Judah • Hezekiah the greatest since David and Solomon • Manasseh the wickedest and longest reigning • The captivity of Judah and the destruction of Jerusalem are emphatically ascribed to the sovereign hand of God.

  41. The Price of Compromise • Reuben, Gad, ½ tribe of Manasseh had settled east of the Jordan • Reuben, Gad, ½ tribe of Manasseh are the first to go into captivity 1 Chron 5:25, 26 • 13 years later the other tribes of the Northern Kingdom are deported • Assyrians appear to have been the most inventive of torture-cruelties… • Policy of replanting captives obliterate ethnic identities; therefore, no “return” from exile.

  42. Why did they have to fall? • ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you[a] will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.” Ex. 19:4-6 • Were they even close? • Their best king was a liar, adulterer and a murderer. • Their most powerful king became selfish and hoarded the blessing for himself. • They utterly and completely failed God.
