The Promise opens with Solomon's glorious reign over Israel. The wavering allegiance of God's chosen people between Him and the false gods of surrounding nations is depicted in fascinating character studies of kings, leaders, and prophets from this ancient, turbulent age. Redemption and hope are central themes, with Old Testament prophets predicting the arrival of Jesus as the Savior, coming to redeem humanity from sin. Ellen White examines the biblical account of Judah's and Israel's kings, describing how their adherence to or deviation from God's plan impacted their spiritual and moral condition.2TC 6.1
