00:26 – An overview of these chapters. The kingdom of Israel divides when Solomon’s son Rehoboam refuses to reduce the burden on the northern tribes.
07:00 – A brief history of the Lost Ten Tribes in the north and Judah in the south.
11:04 – Jeroboam, worried that his people will turn their hearts towards the leaders in the south when they go to the temple in Jerusalem, decides to build rival sanctuaries in Dan and Bethel.
13:35 – Do not take counsel from your fears or be fooled by an imitation.
19:30 – Shishak of Egypt takes treasures from the Jerusalem temple. Does he also capture the Ark of the Covenant?
26:28 – Elijah, an embodiment of great power, is a type of many prophets. All prophets are types of Christ.
29:04 – Elijah seals the heavens and is fed by a raven. He goes to Zarephath and asks a widow woman for her barrel flour and jar of oil, promising they will never become empty during the famine.
37:46 – Elijah raises the widow’s son from the dead. Jesus duplicates the miracles of Elijah.
40:44 – Obadiah, part of Ahab’s court, saves 100 prophets from Queen Jezebel and also helps Elijah.
44:46 – Obadiah and Elijah’s “50” can be seen as part of a bigger picture, as members of a choral arrangement that were connected to the temple and the sacred drama in many ancient cultures.
49:53 – Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to call down fire from heaven. They fail.
54:32 – At times the Lord will manifest miracles to show his might and prove that he is God. The Book of Mormon is that proof for us today.
1:00:56 – The famine ends and Queen Jezebel seeks the life of Elijah. In his loneliness, Elijah experiences deep sadness, believing that the prophets are dead. At times, we may feel as Elijah did. Being with the Saints and remembering the truth of the gospel message can bolster our resilience.
1:09:01 – Elijah’s experience with the still small voice of the Lord.
