We will answer two main questions: Was King Zimri of the southern kingdom of Yehudah (Judah) worse than King Omri? What is God’s purpose to replace one king with another?

When we deviate from God’s path, it is our duty to bring our deviations back to God’s path, following God’s guidance in doing so. Ba’asha, king of northern Yisrael, was warned by a prophet the danger of his path but refused to address the issue and turn back to God’s path. There is a seven-fold pattern in the lives of Yeroboam (Jeroboam), Ba’asha and Solomon in being God’s instrument but going too far. David provides the correct pattern.
The eight days of Chanukah (Festival of Dedication, John 10:22–39), historically parallel the eight days of Sukkot (Festival of Tabernacles). But there is a startling parallel to eight women in the Bible for whom having children would have been miraculous — including the mother of Yeshua (Jesus) — yet these women dedicated themselves to God’s mission to restore the Earth.
Like Solomon, King Asa of the southern kingdom of Yehudah (Judah) had a godly beginning to his life, but it’s about your character at the end of your life that matters. That’s where Asa went astray.
Two accounts of the rise of Abiyam (Abijam) aka Abiyah (Abijah), the grandson on King Shlomo (Solomon), the throne of Yehudah (Judah) are recorded in 2nd Chron. 13:1-22 and 1st Kings 15:1-8. Chronicles portrays Abiyam as a God-fearing king, while 1st Kings portrays him as a king who didn’t love God. These seem to be internal and external perspectives of the man.
In God’s instructions for remembering Sukkot (Festival of Booths or Tabernacles), God said to gather foliage from four types of trees. Part 1 of this study reveals how these four species symbolize four types of people. Part 2 explores how the sukkah made from the trees teaches about the Yeshua’s 12 apostles, the “fruits” of the Spirit and the dwelling place of God.
