As we study the genealogy of Jesus, it is important to analyze how the construction of the temple lead to division in the land of Israel. Because of Solomon's partnership with the pagan nations we see God divided the kingdom of Israel, one ruled by the line of David and and the other ruled by Ephraim. We see the fruition of this in the son of Solomon, Rehoboam, when he rejects the council of the elders. Finally the fruit of this division is Israel's fall into depravity. As a church, it is important to understand the signs that might lead us into apostacy.
