What is the purpose of the Bible in a Year podcast?
Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
What readings are covered on Day 147?
Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day 147. We're reading from 1 Kings 5, 2 Chronicles 7 and 8. We're also praying today, Psalm 66. As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version. It's the Second Catholic Edition. And I am using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. To download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year.

And that means, not only does it mean that we're almost... to day 150 which means halfway to day 300 which means closer to day 365 but it also means that shortly after this in maybe i would say roughly i don't know let's say give or take seven days from now we're going to be having our second messianic checkpoint in seven days from now so one week from today we're having our second messianic checkpoint with the gospel of mark you would know this if you had downloaded the bible in your reading plan but if you didn't now you do and it is awesome because We're going to get the chance, just like we did a while back with the gospel of John. We're going to be able to walk through this gospel in the middle of this whole story, right? With Solomon and the temple and Solomon and building things in Solomon's wisdom.
We're going to take a break and we're going to jump ahead to Jesus and see how he is the fulfillment of everything that God has wanted his people to know and not just to know, but to be. Ah, so that's where we're at now, and that's where we're going to be in just a week from today. But as I said, it's day 147. We're reading 1 Kings 5, 2 Chronicles 7 and 8, and Psalm 66. The first book of Kings, chapter 5. Preparations and materials for the temple. Now Hiram, king of Tyre, sent his servants to Solomon when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram always loved David. And Solomon sent word to Hiram, You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of the Lord his God because of the warfare with which his enemies surrounded him until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet. But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary nor misfortune.
And so I propose to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord said to David my father, your son, whom I will set upon your throne in your place, shall build a house for my name. Now, therefore, command that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me, and my servants will join your servants, and I will pay you for your servants such wages as you set." For you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians. When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said, Blessed be the Lord this day, who has given to David a wise son to be over this great people. And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the message which you have sent to me.
How did Solomon prepare for the Temple?
I am ready to do all you desire in the manner of cedar and cypress timber. my servants shall bring it down to the sea from lebanon and i will make it into rafts to go by sea to the place you direct and i will have them broken up there and you shall receive it and you shall meet my wishes by providing food for my household so hiram supplied solomon with all the timber of cedar and cypress that he desired while Solomon gave Hiram 20,000 cores of wheat as food for his household and 20,000 cores of beaten oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year, and the Lord gave Solomon wisdom as he promised him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty. King Solomon raised a levy of forced labor out of all Israel, and the levy numbered 30,000 men.
