Let us look at the theological quiddity involved in these verses. Is God guilty of partiality, in letting guilty Solomon off the hook of the consequentialism of his sin? The answer to this is purely theological. God had, before Adam, decreed that Christ must redeem mankind. That the Antichrist must have his seven years of global rule to effect the final punishment for Israel’s apostasy. After the seven years, Christ must come, overthrow the government of Satanism, sending both Lucifer and his Antichrist son to hell; and rule for one thousand years of perfect peace. For the sole reason that David comported himself to fit into the Christ role of the King – if David did not succeed Jesus would not enter into that office, meaning God would have to look for another to foreshadow Christ. It was actually not about good king David or the proven sagacity of Solomon, it is about the Christ, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. The scriptural pattern must be strictly followed. It is the design of the Divinity, ergo, God will look like a liar if it goes unfulfilled. Solomon sought God in diligence; he misbehaved and received due sentence. Divine favour, on account of an immutable prophesy, must ensure that Solomon will keep the twelve tribes as long as he lived.Read More
