vs 6-15 Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the wise older men and followed the foolish council of his peers.

Vs 16-21 Israel forsook Rehoboam and followed after Jeroboam as their King. Rehoboam only ruled over Judah (and Benjamin).

Vs 22-24 Rehoboam was going to fight Jeroboam and Israel to bring them to himself again. A prophet said they should not fight against their brothers. This was his will. He split the kingdom for David, because Solomon went after the gods of other nations.

Vs 36-33 Jeroboam in his fear that Israel would return to worship with Judah made gods for his people to worship, built up high places, and made priests of people who were not of the tribe of Lehi.

Come Follow Me 17: Exodus 18-20

Come Follow Me Lesson 17: Exodus 18-20 Introduction: Are you noticing the abundance of miracles in your own life? These are “undeniable manifestations of the Lord’s matchless power, love, and mercy” for you! The Lord wants to give us greater treasures than providing for our daily physical needs. He want everyone to be blessed through entering into the covenant with Him. He wants us to be blessed with Priesthood power and to become His “peculiar treasure,” and a “holy nation”. Exodus 19:5–6 In our day, the invitation to cooffme unto Christ and enter into the covenant is extended to all people, first through baptism, and later through further endowments in the temple.

Come Follow Me 51

Come Follow Me Lesson 51 “I Have Loved You, Saith the Lord” Introduction: Malachi means My messenger. What messages did the Lord give Malachi have for you? What messages does he have for the world? Do you trust that the Lord loves you even in adversity? You should. “I have loved you,” the Lord told His people through the prophet Malachi. But the Israelites, who had suffered generations of affliction and captivity, asked the Lord, “Wherein hast thou loved us?” ( Malachi 1:2 ). After all Israel had been through, they may have wondered whether the history of ancient Israel is really a story of God’s love for His covenant people.
