The Old Testament is written off by many people as being irrelevant for the modern believer and yet without it the New Testament makes no sense. It is full of essential information about the One creator God, how the creation came into being and the only way individuals and nations should relate to Him as explained in my other books. The Bible makes the fact very clear that the creator God, who of His own sovereign will related Himself to His chosen nation of Israel, is a hands on creator who not only created all that exists out of nothing, but also maintains its very existence. It also reveals that the soul and spirit of every man lives on after their physical death and their destination for eternity is also under His immediate control. The Old, or as I prefer to call it the First, Testament is packed full of personal and national examples of man's relationship with the creator God that provide those living with a guide as to how they should relate to Him and they ignore Him at their cost. This book focuses on the lives of the kings of Judah and Israel after the 10/2 split and seeks to explain where they went wrong within the personal, national and international sociopolitical environment at that time. It starts with the rules God laid down for future kings of Israel through Moses, the errors of Solomon that led to the split and the individual biographies of each king. It includes the shining example of the life of the prophet Elijah in amongst the Godlessness of the kings of Israel, the return of some of the Jews from exile in Babylon, the relationship of the surrounding nations to Judah and Israel, with a final chapter on The Future. There are plenty of references to the Second Testament throughout.The emphasis is on God's message to mankind and how He maintained the existence of Israel not for their sakes but for His great name's sake because of His determination to ensure His ultimate plan of eternal salvation would not be allowed to be disrupted. This is the unique total power of God in action in spite of the fickleness and rebelliousness of individuals who prefer to go their own way without realising that they are being manipulated by Satan and his demonic forces. The Lord God of Israel is the God of the impossible because not only did He out of nothing create all that is, He has designed into it a limit to its life when all that we see will be burned up. Have no doubt that God is in absolute control even though He has given mass certain freedoms.This book was a challenge o write and, according to others, makes compelling and instructive reading.
