Prayer: Father, wow, so much to learn. I desire to know You! Amen.
Bible Project: Books of 1 and 2 Chronicles Summary | Watch an Overview(bibleproject.com)
Reading: 1 Chronicles 1 key: vs. 10 “Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first mighty warrior on the earth.”
Attention: I hope that you caught the instruction from the Bible Project overview, that 1st Corinthians and 2nd Corinthians were originally, one book. Also, English bibles placed both books after 1st & 2nd Kings, while the TLV places 1st & 2nd Chronicles chronological of the books of the Old Testament, meaning, last. Placing them last makes sense when you consider the purpose of the writer is to give hope to Israel.
I encourage you to include in your journal one new name of which to become familiar with. We all know the name Adam which means first or first man. In the New Testament, the apostle Luke traces Jesus’ lineage back to Adam (Luke 3:23-38). Also, the apostle Paul refers to Jesus as the last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45: “So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.)” The last Adam refers to Messiah Yeshua.
I want to introduce you to a name which may be new to you, found in vs. 10 (our key verse), Nimrod. Who is Nimrod? Nimrod’s name means “we shall rebel.” He was a rebellious one who is credited with building the Tower of Babel and several Assyrian cities including Nineveh. His rebellion manifested in his building, the Tower of Babel, and the adjoining city. The city and tower were such that they drew Adonai to come down from Heaven to see the works of man. It is from this moment in history, that Adonai “confused” the language of man, and scattered them over the “entire land,” which stopped their building. Language had united man enabling them to accomplish anything they wanted to do. Now Adonai confused the languages of man and scattered them “over the face of the land.”
Notice how internet and software abilities (one even called Babel) have enabled man to broach the language barrier. Currently, nations are uniting in projects which are aimed at looking beyond space. Adonai (God) did not allow it before, will He allow it today? Notice too, how some of these projects are associated with the demonic.
Mankind is also seeking a one-world government, a one-world currency, and a one-world religion, in an effort to unite all nations. How is that going to work, when religion seeks to organize around those opposed to the only God, Adonai? It is an exciting time to be alive and engage with the Sovereign God of the Universe as He unfolds His plan.
Action: I choose to embrace my lineage to Adam and to Yeshua Messiah.
Yield: I choose to submit to the Supremacy of Adonai.
Engage: I choose to engage with the Holy Spirit in searching the scriptures.
Relationship: I choose to live in obedient, intimate, holy, relationship with Adonai.
Prayer: Father, I thank You for the scriptures which reveal Your nature, Your character, Your deity, and reveals the lineage of Messiah! All were real historical people which can be validated. I serve a risen Messiah, Savior, Redeemer. Amen.
Memory Verse: Genesis 10:8-11 “Now Cush fathered Nimrod. He started to become mighty in the land. He was a mighty hunter before Adonai. This is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Adonai.” The beginning of his kingdom included Babel, Erech, Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. From that land he went out to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rechovot-ir, Calah.” TLV
