This second leading theme could be the same leading theme that stood out as well in the book of Kings. The theme of obedience and disobedience can be seen starting from the ruling of David as King of Israel. The moment like the times when David asked God to defeat the Philistines (1 Chronicles 14:8-17) and chose to obey what God told him and resulted in blessings to David and the people. In fact, all the events that the author recorded concerning David in the book indicate that the reason why David had successfully become a king is that he obeyed all that God instructed him to do. David’s obedience did not just stop on his regime, but some of the future kings that rule after him took the same path which David took by honoring God through

Despite the diverse authorship and span of time that the Bible covers, God’s inspiration influenced His message so that His doctrines are consistent throughout the Bible. There is a great deal of theology in the modern worship songs. For example, “Worth” (Brown, 2017) explains the doctrine of God’s forgiveness of man’s sin, which can be traced through scripture. Another belief demonstrated in this song is praise and worship to the creator in response to His greatness and for gratitude for His provisions. The importance of the consistency of scriptures is to make God’s character and will known.

Ezekiel chapter 40 begins with the prophet Ezekiel being taken in the spirit from Babylon to the land of Israel. He was set on top of a very high mountain and saw with his eyes, heard with his ears and set his heart upon all that was shown unto him (Eze 40:1-4 KJV). Ezekiel records the precise time this vision was given, 572 BC, which was 14 years after the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 586 BC (Bailey, “Ezekiel” 305). Ezekiel was shown a Temple that will be built upon earth after the 2nd Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ which will be the center of worship during the 1000 year reign of Christ (Bailey, “Ezekiel” 311).

Isaiah 53 should be a very critical prophetic chapter of the Bible when it comes to establishing without ambiguity that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is indeed the Jewish Messiah long awaited for in Judaism. Popular in evangelical circles, this prophecy clearly describes some of what Jesus of Nazareth experienced while here on earth. Contrary to the systematic way the translation of the Word of God has been divided, my belief is that this prophecy began in Chapter 52:13 and continued until Chapter 53:11. Although this passage clearly talks about the suffering messiah Jesus, we know that the Jews in general rejected Him as the Messiah and are still awaiting for the messiah to come although He came 2000 years ago. This prophecy begins in verse 13 to 15 of chapter 52 and describes the Messiah as one who would be firstly wise.
