ISRAEL DIVIDED

King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, after building the temple of God, took foreign wives and participated in the worship of their strange Gods. This removed God’s blessing from Solomon and God declared that he would separate Judah from the other tribes of Israel which he did. Later because of the sins of the people of Israel we find that these tribes were also scattered throughout the world.

Scripture:
And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen. (1st Kings 9:9-13)

So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. (1st Kings 12:19)
And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents. (2nd Chronicles 10:16)

And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. (2nd Chronicles 10:19)

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
We have learned that as a result of King Solomon’s sins the tribe of Judah was separated from the rest of Israel.

Our Father appreciates the fact that you are trying. May God’s blessing be upon this
study of His word, Amen.

GODS PROMISE TO ABRAHAM AND HIS SEED

GODS PROMISE TO ABRAHAM AND HIS SEED

God was pleased because Abraham believed and obeyed him and God made several promises directly to Abraham. God promised he would multiply Abraham’s seed and that his descendants would be a blessing to the entire earth.
Where are all these children of promise which God said would be numerous as the dust of the earth or the stars of the heavens? There are those who believe these are the ten lost tribes which are called Anglo-Saxon (Isaac’s sons) or the Caucasians which crossed over the Caucus Mountains and later settled in Europe? God also says he will bless those that bless Abraham’s descendants and curse them that curse his descendants.

Scripture:
Now the Lord had said unto Abram. Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Genesis 12:1-3)

And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward and eastward, and westward For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it and to thy seed forever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. (Genesis 13:14-16)

And he brought him forth abroad, and said, look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. (Genesis 15:5-6)

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between thee, and me and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made of thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. (Genesis 17:1-8)

And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou has done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son; That in blessing I will bless then, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou has obeyed my voice. (Genesis 22:15-18)

Inspired by God Balaam spoke these words concerning Israel.

"How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. (Numbers 24:5-9)

And there is this promise in the Book of Isaiah.

But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. Isaiah 45:17


WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
Our Father promised Abraham that his children would be a blessing to the entire earth and would be as numerous as the stars of heaven and that those who blessed Abraham’s seed would themselves be blessed.
