Who is King?

Mo. 7/14/14: Ecclesiastes 12:13 – 14                  What was Solomon’s conclusion?
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
      Fear God and keep His commandments,
      For this is man’s all.
      For God will bring every work into judgment,
      Including every secret thing,
What was Solomon’s conclusion? Fear God and keep His commandments.
Tu. 7/15/14: 1 Kings 11:41 – 43                  Solomon’s death
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
And the period that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. Then Solomon rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
Who followed Solomon? Rehoboam became king.
We. 7/16/14: 2 Chronicles 10:1 – 19                   What did the tribes do?
Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying:
      “What share have we in David?
      We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.
      Every man to your tents, O Israel!
      Now see to your own house, O David!”
So all Israel departed to their tents.
But Rehoboam reigned over the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah.
What did the tribes do? The tribes revolted.
Th. 7/17/14: 1 Kings 12:20                   What did Israel do?
Now it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, they sent for him and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was none who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
What did Israel do? The tribes made Jeroboam their king.
Fr. 7/18/14: 1 Timothy 6:15 – 16                  Who is the King of kings?
which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

Who is the King of kings? The Lord Jesus Christ is King of kings.
