As Bible Reflections enters the last year of its four-year plan, it will begin to look a 1 Chronicles. This book starts off with a multitude of geneologies. For me, it isn't the most exciting part of the Bible. Yet, I have to remember those names mean something. The names themselves tell a story.
Consider these names placed together. What story do they tell?
1. Churchill, Hitler, Mussolini, Roosevelt, Stalin
2. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Biden
3. Lenin, Stalin, Malenkov, Khrushchev
4. Swart, Klerk, Botha, (I bet it changes everything if I add this name, Mandela)
5. Qing, Yuan, Han, Zhou (careful these are a little different)
So what stories do these tell you?
When you really know the history of the Bible as many Jews did, those genealogies gave the history of Israel
.
