Today we hear of the incredible size and wealth of Solomon's dominion, and his wisdom in organization is evident. Israel was prosperous as never before. And Solomon contracted with King Hiram of the Sidon to get materials for the construction of the temple.
We continue with two more stanzas from Psalm 119.
In John today we hear of Jesus' relation with God, His Father, and that God has given authority to the Son to judge all mankind. The Son has also been given the authority to give life after death. Jesus talks about who are those who witness or give testimony about Himself. This is important because in Jewish Law and culture, assertions needed to be supported by at least two witnesses. The witnesses who support Jesus are John the Baptist, his miracles, his teachings, and in the background, his Father and Moses.
