Few nations have experienced such blessing as Israel. This course follows the journey of the people of Israel, in Joshua, Judges, Ruth and their settled life under the united monarchy of Saul, David and Solomon. We will follow the journey of the nation of Israel as they cross the Jordan, overtake and allocate the land of Canaan and subsequently fall into the repeated cycle of sin and repentance. We will address the question as to why Israel asked for a king like unto the nations.

Throughout the course we will explore key events in Israel’s early history and the ministries of significant judges and we will also examine the success and failures of Saul, David and Solomon. Special emphasis will be placed on theological truth and practical application as it relates to a Messianic faith and lifestyle.
