Issues In Perspective with Dr. Jim Eckman
-

In defiant pride and energized by Satan (1 Chronicles 21:1), David orders a census for military purposes which results in God's discipline but also leads him to purchase land for the Temple on Mt. Moriah.
-
2 Samuel 21:1-23:39
These chapters are an epilogue to the book, covering David's just response to the Gibeonites, neutralizing the Philistines and his praise hymn to God who gave him victory in battling Israel's enemies.

David escapes Jerusalem and prepares for the battle with Absalom, who is killed by Joab.

David is paralysed by the guilt from his sin and cannot act decisively as the King or as a father regarding his sons Amnon and Absalom.

Dr. Eckman was a college professor of mine. Sitting under his teaching was one the highlights of not only my college career, but in my growth in understanding the Scriptures. Be prepared to go deeper and see the history of the Bible come to life!
A Must Podcast!!
I think it is great to have this poignant, social commentary on iTunes. Dr. Eckman is very insightful and clear in his thoughts and Christian beliefs.
