The Amazing Collection: The Bible, Book by Book Lesson Reviews for Facilitators Set 2: The Kingdom Books Joshua through 2 Kings The participants will begin with the new workbook, The Kingdom Books. It would be helpful to take a few moments with any new students reviewing the format of the class and the workbook. Pointing out the charts (especially the Chronological Relationship of the Old Testament Books on page 199), the maps on page 200-206, and the concept of the Complete Read and the Quick Read, will be a great help to them. Remind them that we are continuing history from the Pentateuch so it is important to take some time for a quick review of the events and the people in those first five books. The Story So Far from the book of Deuteronomy which follows will help you if you need a little refresher yourself! Again encourage the ladies to do all of their homework and to keep in mind that they are learning for life so you will be reviewing and reviewing the main characters and events in each book on a weekly basis. And above all enjoy the journey through this incredible book, God s Holy Word! The seven Kingdom Books continues the history of Israel from the conquering of the land, through the time of the judges and the monarchy and to its discipline and exile. They cover approximately eight hundred years from 1405 to 586 B.C.
Session Six: Joshua Land Conquered Introduction: The book of Joshua is a continuation of history that began with the book of Genesis. At the end of the Pentateuch in the book of Deuteronomy, the children of God are poised once again on the shores of the Promised Land. They have just spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness and the rebellious generation has all died. Moses has died and Joshua is ready to lead the younger generation into the Promised Land. Homework for the book of Deuteronomy: Because this is the beginning of a new set, homework review may not be appropriate if time has passed since completion of the last set and students do not have their workbooks with them. Page 138: All questions Page 142: All questions Page 145: All questions Page 149: All questions Oral Review: The Story So Far: The Pentateuch: Genesis: God created Adam and Eve who rebelled against Him and sin entered the world. As sin increased God flooded the world except Noah and his family. Later He confused the languages and nations were formed. God raised up Abraham and gave him three promises: people, land and a blessing. Abraham s great-grandsons moved to Egypt and were living in peace at the end of the book Exodus: Four hundred years later the Israelites were in slavery. God brought ten plagues on the people of Egypt and Moses led them out of the land and to Mt. Sinai. There God gave them the Ten Commandments and instructions for building the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle was placed in the center of the camp. Upon completion, the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle signifying that God was indeed with His people. It was there that God met with Moses and the Israelites. Now God s first promise had been fulfilled as Abraham s family was now a nation of almost 3 million people. They spent one year at Mt. Sinai. Leviticus:
Was a rule book for the priests and contained instructions for properly approaching God through animal sacrifice and also included laws for holy living for all of the Israelites. Leviticus did not add to the historical story but was an instructional book that clarified the way to God through sacrifice and the walk with God through sanctification. The laws given at Mt. Sinai were civil, moral and spiritual and would be the foundation for the nation as they settled in the land God was about to give them. They were now prepared to begin the journey to the Promised Land! Numbers: God led the people from Mt. Sinai heading to the Promised Land. Once at the border, 12 spies were sent in to access the country. They reported back that there were giants in the land and they were too afraid to go forward. Two Spies, Joshua and Caleb, knew that God would protect them and fight for them but the people refused to listen. God punished them with forty years of wandering until all of that generation had died. Only those children 20 and younger survived. Deuteronomy: Once again the people were at the border of the Promised Land. Moses gathered the people around and gave three sermons. He reviewed Israel s history, he reviewed the law, and he called for obedience and courage. Moses died at the end of the book and Joshua took his place as leader of the people. The people were now prepared to conquer the land God had promised Abraham.

Homework for the book of First Kings: Session Twelve: The Book of Second Kings Kingdom Divided Page 155: Page 159: Page 162: Page 165: Question at bottom of page Last question All questions Middle question Oral Review: The Story So Far: Pentateuch: God had promised Abraham that his descendents would be many (a nation) and that He would give them the land of the Canaanites. The people did grow in number in the protective cocoon of Egypt. God then led them out of Egypt and over the next 40 years they were taught the ways of God, trained in social living and government and refined through discipline after they rebelled against God and thus wandered in the wilderness for forty years. At the end of the Pentateuch the people were positioned on the shore of the Promised Land and Joshua became the leader. Kingdom Books: Joshua: God parted the Jordon River and Joshua led the children of Israel across into the Promised Land. They set up camp at Gilgal, just a few miles away from Jericho. There the men were circumcised and the people celebrated Passover. At God s command they defeated Jericho in a most unusual manner. From there they divided and conquered the land over a period of seven years. Then for the next eighteen years they divided the land so that each one of the twelve tribes had their own land and there was peace and prosperity.
Judges: Covers the next 340 years. God was to be their king, but time and time again, the people would turn to other gods and live in disobedience to God s laws thus bringing about corrupt societies. Their enemies would conquer different areas of the land and when they did they would oppress the people. The people would cry out to God and repent and he sent judges, who acted more like generals as they would lead the people to victory over their enemies. So the people would return to God and they would once again know peace and prosperity. These sin cycles took place seven times as recorded in Judges. Deborah, Gideon and Samson are three of the most well known judges. Ruth: Takes place during the time of the judges. In it God reveals the concept of the Kinsman Redeemer. Ruth, a Moabite, remains loyal to her mother-in-law after the death of her husband and father-in-law. They travel from Moab back to Bethlehem. There Ruth meets Boaz who becomes her kinsman redeemer marries her and they have a son who becomes the grandfather of King David. First Samuel: Samuel leads the people in the position of judge, priest and prophet. Toward the end of his life, the people demand a king. He warns them that this is not God s will for them but they insist. Saul becomes the first king of Israel but his heart is far from God. God then appoints Samuel to go to the home of a shepherd boy and anoint him with oil and pronounce that he would be the next king. The rest of 1 Samuel chronicles the ongoing conflict between Saul (who is filled with jealousy) and David who is a man after God s own heart. In the end, Saul is killed in war. Second Samuel: David becomes king of Judah for seven years but is then crowned king of all of the tribes uniting the monarchy. During his reign, Israel becomes politically and militarily secure. David sins committing adultery with Bathsheba and has her husband murdered. Nathan the prophet confronts David who repents immediately. The last years of David s life are marked by extreme family conflicts and troubles as he suffered the consequences of his sin.
First Kings: David dies and his son Solomon becomes king. During his reign, he builds the Temple from the materials David has collected and brings Israel to its Golden Era. As he ages he turns his heart away from God to his wives gods. After his death his son Rehoboam becomes king. He refuses to lower the taxes and the people rebel. The nation divides Northern 10 tribes are called Israel, and the Southern two tribes are called Judah. Judah always had a king that was a descendent of David and worshiped in Jerusalem at the Temple Solomon built. The Levitical order remained temple servants and the descendents of Aaron were the priests as God ordained. Israel established two places of worship, Bethel and Dan. Golden calves were the center of that worship and the priesthood was perverted as that office could be bought. Written Review: The written review is on the next page.
