33 Bible Reading – The Book Of 1 Kings
The time period covered by the book is around 120 years, from 1015 BC to 900 BC. There are 22 chapters, and it takes approximately 2 hours and 5 minutes to read in a single sitting. It is uncertain who it was that wrote the book, but it is traditionally believed Jeremiah was the author. If so, this means Jeremiah was responsible not only for the prophetic book which bears his name, and for the book of Lamentations, but also for this historic book of 1 Kings. We are certain, however, that this book is a divinely inspired piece of literature. That is, God breathed out His words through its author. The words of this book, therefore, are the words of God. They are able…

77 Misrepresentation
MISREPRESENTATION The act of wilfully representing a thing otherwise than it is. "This," as an elegant writer observes, "is one of the greatest mischiefs of conversation. Self-love is continually at work to give to all we say a bias in our own favour. How often in society, otherwise respectable, are we pained with narrations in which prejudice warps, and self-love blinds!--How often do we see that withholding part of a truth answers the worst ends of a falsehood! How often regret the unfair turn given to a cause, by placing a sentiment in one point of view, which the speaker had used in another! the letter of truth preserved, where its spirit is violated! a superstitious exactness scrupulously maintained in the under parts of a…

76 Antitype
ANTITYPE A greek word, properly signifying a type or figure corresponding to some other type. The word antitype occurs twice in the New Testament, viz. in the Epistle to the Hebrews 9:24, and in the 1 Epistle of St. Peter chap. 3:21. where its genuine import has been much controverted.

Now the Greek signifies the pattern by which another thing is made; and as Moses was obliged to make the tabernacle, and all things in it, according to the pattern shown him in the Mount, the tabernacle so formed was the antitype of what…
