’Praise be to the LORD who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed on all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses.’
1 KINGS 8:56
The book of Kings is much more than an historical record. It is the story of the remarkable faithfulness of God to build the Kingdom he promised, even when his own people reject it. And it is about how different this Kingdom is to everything else the world has ever known.
Nathan Lovell’s thought-provoking commentary helps us to understand not only Israel’s history, but how it shapes and challenges us today. As God works amongst his people, we begin to catch a glimpse of an entirely new type of world order. On the surface Kings is a book about power and glory, but by reading more deeply we begin to see the truth of Jesus’ words, ’Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.’
