[31] 23b; 24a - The Kingdom Divided
We conclude Lesson 23 50:15 and go onto Lesson 24: The Kingdom Divided. During the time of the judges, as Israel settled into the Promised Land, the Bible records that as a nation, the people rebelled against God. Then during the period of the kings, the Bible shows that Israel’s leaders too, were overall rebellious towards Him. Because King Solomon, the last king of the unified kingdom, rebelled against Yahweh, God tore the kingdom into two: the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. Both kingdoms were supposed to worship Yahweh as God. But instead, they had more bad than good kings in their history, leading both Israel and Judah to become paganised. Whether it was the common man or kings and leaders, the Bible records that most were rebellious towards God. Access the notes at: https://interlocked.online/s/24-The-Kingdom-Divided.pdf
