Introduction Second Kings describes the activities of 29 kings, 12 from the northern kingdom of Israel and 17 from the southern kingdom of Judah, as well as those of three prophets, Elijah, Elisha, and Isaiah. The book does not follow a linear chronology of events, but it does cover 340 years of Hebrew history, reaching to the destruction of Samaria at the hands of Assyria, in 740 BCE, and to the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of Babylon, in 607 BCE.

First Edition: LukivPress Online (Quesnel, BC), 2012. Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2022. Introduction The book of Ezra (covering 537 to 467 BCE) begins where Second Chronicles ends (537 BCE). Ezra, of the Aaronic priesthood, relates Persian King Cyrus' decree for a remnant of exiled Jews in Babylon to repatriate Jerusalem and "rebuild the house of Jehovah" (the temple that Nebuchadnezzar sacked and burned in 607 BCE). Firsthand they experience the fulfillment of Jehovah's prophecy that 70 years of exile from Jerusalem (607 to 537 BCE) would actually end (as written at Jeremiah 29:10; Jeremiah completed his prophetic book in 580 BCE!). Although enemy nations work overtime to threaten and discourage the repatriated Jews and paralyze their efforts to build the temple, they persevere. Ezra provides courageous leadership! The finished temple (515 BCE) stands as a testimony of Hebrew courage and faith and as a foreshadow of future days of Jehovah's goodwill towards his people. An excerpt Chapter 10 On three rocks they sat, But the boy faced the WildernessOf Judah and the backs of peopleWalking. "Mother, he won'tSpeak to me." Her motherChewed bread she'dTorn. "Mother!"

First Edition: LukivPress Online (Quesnel, BC), 2011. Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2022. Introduction Written by Jeremiah in 580 BCE, First Kings covers 129 years (1040 to 911 BCE), and describes a period of peace, security, and prosperity under Solomon's reign. But even during his 40-year kingship of Edenic and future paradisaic overtones, apostasy finds a foothold in Israel-through Solomon's multitudinous marriages to women who worship foreign deities. In 997 BCE, after Solomon dies, the nation divides into two kingdoms: the southern, Judah, included the tribe of Benjamin; the northern included the ten other tribes. Both kingdoms, essentially dysfunctional (spiritually), suffer from the bad examples of many apostate kings. An excerpt Chapter 1 "The most difficult of arts,"Said Mary Nutting, sister toAbishag, Shunem's blossom, The king's companion.O Deborah to Rebecca!Unborn Naomi to unbornObed!

Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2022. Introduction What do we know about "Joel the son of Pethuel"? (Joel 1:1) So little that we can only estimate that he wrote his prophecies in 820 BCE. Why do the scriptures hold back from filling in details about this prophet's life? Possibly, to emphasize what he said rather than who he was. What did he say? In visions, he saw invasions of caterpillars, locusts, and cockroaches. Note that no Biblical record describes such a devastating insect invasion in which "what was left by the devouring locust, the swarming locust has eaten; and what was left by the swarming locust, the unwinged locust has eaten; and what the unwinged locust has left, the voracious locust has eaten." (Joel 1:4) Note, too, that he referred to these creatures as "a people numerous and mighty." (Joel 2:2) What allegorical, prophetic relevance, then, do we see here? First century Christians, "a people numerous and mighty," enraged, and, in a sense, tormented many religious leaders of the day by the message they taught (Romans 10:13, 14). Does the allegory hold weight today, as Christians, who refuse to give up like caterpillars, locusts, and cockroaches, continue with a similar message? Yes-and within the message we find a warning about the "day of Jehovah." (Joel 1:15). That day arrived for Babylon in 539 BCE, when Jehovah allowed the Medo-Persians to conquer the apparently impenetrable, double-walled city. Thousands of years later, a similar day will arrive for Babylon the Great, the empire of false religion, as explained in Revelation 18:1-4, 21. An excerpt 3.
