2026 01 18 1 Kings Part 6 - Theodore Turner

Description:

In this study, the group explores the structure and prosperity of Solomon’s kingdom as described in 1 Kings 4. The discussion highlights the transition from the "Warfare" of David to the "Peace and Provision" of Solomon. This period typifies the abundance of the Kingdom of Heaven, where the people dwell safely "every man under his vine and fig tree." The study also grapples with the complexity of prophetic lines—specifically how Solomon fits as the Third Angel empowered by the First and Second (Saul and David).

Key Topics Covered:

The 12 Officers & Divine Order: We analyze the 12 officers appointed by Solomon to provide food for the king’s household. This represents the organization of the work under Christ (the true Solomon), where provision is made systematically for the entire body (the 12 tribes).

The "Sand of the Sea": The fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant is seen in 1 Kings 4:20. The people are "many as the sand," eating, drinking, and making merry. This is identified not as a temporary party (like Adonijah’s), but as the sustained joy of the established Kingdom.

Solomon’s Dominion & Wisdom: The study examines the extent of Solomon’s rule (from the River to the Philistines) and his vast wisdom, which covered nature (trees, beasts, fowl) and surpassed the wisdom of the East and Egypt. This symbolizes the restoration of Adam’s lost dominion through Christ.

The Prophetic Puzzle of the Third Angel: A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to understanding how Solomon functions as the Third Angel in our prophetic line. If the Third Angel arrived in 1844, how does Solomon’s reign apply now? The group explores the idea of the "Empowerment" of the Third Angel by the Second (9/11 and beyond).

Personal Reflection on Usefulness: Theodore shares thoughts on how God often bypasses the "talented" to use the "obedient." The discussion emphasizes that the work is not accomplished by human brilliance or grand strategies, but by God organizing simple people to perform His will.
