Week 16: Our narrative this week picks up after King Solomon’s death, with the kingdom splitting into Israel and Judah. As the kings begin to turn away from God, we see a rise of prophets. These prophets serve as the spokespeople for God as his people and those in leadership begin to turn away. But where do prophets come from? Why and how do they get started in their roles? Through the “call narratives” of Habakkuk, Amos, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel we will see that being called for the work of God differs than dynastic obligation to an earthly kingship.
About this Plan
In part two of the Love This Book plan, we look at the rise of prophets following the fall of David and Solomon. Beginning with Elijah, we'll explore what it looked like to be called for the work of God and how the prophets responded to society's betrayal of Him. We will then look forward to the hope of a new King and how the prophecies foreshadowed the revolutionary reign to come.
