Christ (Gr. Khristós, “anointed”; equivalent to the Heb. Mâshîaj, “Messiah”, “anointed”). Official title of Jesus of Nazareth that designates him as “the Messiah” or the promised OT. In OT times the high priest (Exo 30:30), the king (2Sa 5:3), and sometimes the prophets (1Ki 19:16) were “anointed” when dedicated to holy service. In the messianic prophecies the term came to be applied specifically to the Messiah, who, as prophet (Deu 18:15), priest (Zec 6:11-14), and king (Is. 9:6, 7), was 263 who had appointed as Redeemer of the world. In use in NT times the definite article was omitted, and “Christ” became virtually a proper noun as we use it today. The combined use of the names Jesus and Christ constitutes a confession of faith that Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Mary, the Son of man, is really the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God, and therefore a profession of faith. in the union of the divine and human natures in one Person. In Jer 23:5, 33:15, Zec 3:8 and 6:12 a title is used for Christ: “branch” (Heb. tsemaj, “a shoot”, “a shoot”); the Messiah is represented as a branch of David. See Jesus Christ. Chronicles, Books of the. Two OT books that record events from the reigns of David and his successors. In the Hebrew Bibles the 2 books appear as a single work, with a single title: Dibrê hayyâmîm (“Events of the days”), a real diary of the events that occurred under the different kings (2Ki 14:18, 28; 1Ch 27:24; Neh 12:23; etc.). In the LXX the title is Paraleipómení‡n (“Omissions”), and indicates that the book supplies and partially duplicates information that was left out of Samuel and Kings. The Spanish name “Crónicas” comes from the lat. Chronicon, the term Jerome used as appropriate to transliterate the Hebrew title into his own Latin translation, the Vulgate. In the Hebrew canon of the OT the books of Chronicles constitute the last book. Its current position in modern versions, after Kings, and its division into 2 books originated in the LXX, a practice later followed by the Vulgate. I. Author and Setting. An examination of the Hebrew text of Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah shows that the 3 books are closely related in language, style, and general point of view. That is why it is reasonable to conclude that the 3 were the work of the same author or compiler, or that they were written at the same time by several men who collaborated with each other. Early Jewish tradition attributes the Chronicles to Ezra (current scholarship generally assigns Ezra and Nehemiah to him as well). Internal evidence suggests a priest of the Persian period as the author, and Ezra meets both requirements (Ezr 7:1-5). That the opening verses of Ezra repeat the closing verses of Chronicles, almost verbatim, also indicates an intimate relationship between the two books. The Chronicles author’s use of the Persian monetary system (1Ch 29:7) indicates that he wrote them in the Persian period. Since the genealogy of the royal line of Judah is carried several generations beyond Zerubbabel, who returned to Judea about 536 BC, it is possible that the date of writing may well have been a century or more after Zerubbabel’s time (3:19 -24). These and other evidences are sufficient grounds for assigning Chronicles this date: c 400 BC The author’s frequent reference to other works (1Ch 27:24; 29:29; 2Ch 9:29; 12:15; 13:22; 20: 34; 24:27; 26:22; 32:32; 33:19), suggests that he had access to an excellent collection of sources and used them profusely under the direction of divine Inspiration. II. Theme. Essentially, Chronicles is a record of the united kingdom under David and Solomon, and their successors on the throne of Judah until the Babylonian captivity; that is, a period greater than 4 centuries. Considerably more than half of the content of Chronicles parallels information found in other OT books, especially Samuel and Kings. In style and emphasis, however, it is clearly an independent work, written from its own point of view and intended to serve a particular purpose. With the spiritual lessons of the captivity vividly imprinted in memory, the author presents the history of Israel as a nation before that tragic event, and why the captivity was inevitable. He emphasizes the moral and spiritual aspects of the events he records, and again and again tries to point out that obedience to God’s revealed will brings peace and prosperity, while disobedience results in suffering and calamity. He highlights the fact that the Lord rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked (1Ch 10:13; 11:9; 21:7; 2 Chron. 13:18; etc.). He assures Israel that she has nothing to fear from the future except that she forgets the lessons her past history taught her. III. Sketch. Chronicles can be logically divided into 4 parts: 1. Introduction (1Ch_1-10). 2. Reign of David (chs 11-29). 3. Solomon’s reign (2Ch_1-9). 4. Kingdom of Judah until the captivity (chs 10-36). In the introduction, the historian reviews, in a few strokes, the history of the world from creation until David ascends the throne. This brief outline is largely genealogical, with an emphasis on the royal tribe of Judah and the priestly tribe of Levi. These genealogical tables include, here and there, brief biographical sketches and historical data (1Ch 4:9, 10, 38-43; 5:9, 10, 16-26; 6:31, 32, 48, 49, 54-81 ; etc.). For completeness, the genealogies are continued through the time of the united and divided kingdom, the captivity, and the restoration to the time the work was being written. 264 Nothing is said of Saul’s reign, except a brief account of his death in battle, and this only to explain why God rejected him and set the stage for David’s accession to the throne. IV. Contents. Nineteen of the 65 chapters of Chronicles – almost a third – are devoted to the glorious reign of David. David and Solomon, whose reigns created the golden age of Israel’s history, occupy 28 chapters, or nearly half the space. In turn, the 2nd section, which covers the reign of David, can be divided into 3 parts. The 1st summarizes the notable events of the period (1Ch_11-21). It also includes the circumstances of his coronation as king of all Israel, the capture of Jerusalem and the transfer of the capital from Hebron to Jerusalem, the enumeration of his mighty men and armies, his transfer of the ark to Jerusalem, the construction of his palace, his wars and the census of the people. Part 2 deals in detail with David’s preparations for the construction of the temple, with his organization of the service of the priests and Levites, and his instructions to Solomon about the temple (22: 1-29: 21 ). Part 3 deals briefly with the transfer of authority from David to Solomon, and David’s death (23:1; 29:22-30). The 3rd section, on Solomon (2Ch_1-9), is devoted mainly to the construction and dedication of the temple, with brief mentions of Solomon’s other public works and enterprises, his devotion to wisdom, and the splendor of his reign. The 4th section covers the divided kingdom period (chs 10-36), with special emphasis on the kingdom of Judah. The history of this period deals with the successive reigns of all the kings of Judah, from Rehoboam to Zedekiah. The revolt of the 10 tribes is widely considered, and thereafter efforts to return the nation to God by reforming kings Asa, Jehoshaphat, Joash, Hezekiah, and Josiah are recorded. The section concludes with the 3rd deportation to Babylon and a short epilogue about Cyrus’s edict for the return (see CBA 3:119-132). Chronicler. See Chancellor.
