Ergebnis für "2 Chronicles" in Spiritualität

A fresher perspective into my brown skin life with ideals and values that may be the same or different from yours.

The books of Chronicles were originally one book, as in the case of Samuel and Kings. The Hebrew title is translated the "words of the days", yet the word Chronicles is mainly adopted by a theologian named Jerome who thought that they ought to bear the title from the Greek word for time which is "Chronos". This title created a distraction from the true meaning and purpose of this wonderful book. The main purpose of Chronicles was to form a genealogical description of the 12 tribes of Israel from the earliest recorded time.

I & II Chronicles retell the history of Israel from Adam to the post-exilic period, with a focus on the Davidic dynasty, the Temple, and covenant faithfulness. Written for a post-exilic audience, these books emphasize God's enduring promises, the centrality of worship, and the importance of repentance and restoration. Chronicles provides theological reflections on Israel's past to inspire hope and faithfulness in God's ongoing redemptive plan.
