July 4-10th -2 Kings 2–7
“There Is a Prophet in Israel” I’m trying to stay on task in my scripture reading. It is a challenge with all the family here. Just finished reading the book of 1 Kings now on 2 Kings this week. A prophet’s main mission is to teach and testify of the Savior Jesus Christ. This week I’m learning about the prophet Elisha who was called to serve after the Prophet Elijah left this earth in a dramatic fashion in a chariot of fire - as a translated being to another realm of our Eternal growth. He passed the mantle of the priesthood power of God to Elisha- “As you read the scriptures, the Holy Ghost may bring to your attention certain phrases or passages. Consider writing down why those passages are meaningful to you.” Looking for what is meaningful to me in my scripture study this week. In learning about the books of kings - . The books of Kings narrate the history from the rebellion of Adonijah to the final captivity of Judah, including the whole history of the northern kingdom from the separation till its disappearance in 721 B.C., because of apostasy the entire northern kingdom of Israel 10 of the tribes are taken into captivity, The southern kingdom is Judah and the tribe of Ben they are taken captive 587BC- the time period when we start reading in the Book of Mormon. Another record of people in a far away land from Judah- the Lord is still guiding them thru prophets and word of God. Learning Old Testament history remains me of the importance of following the guidance of a prophet.
