The House of Obed Edom the Gittite - Roger Lewis 2025

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]A @Christadelphians Video: In this thought-provoking Bible talk, we explore the inspiring story of Obed-Edom the Gittite from 1 Chronicles 13. Why was the house of Obed-Edom blessed when the Ark of God resided there, while Uzzah's contact with the Ark resulted in death? This presentation offers an insightful expositional study that challenges a common interpretation, presenting a powerful case for identifying Obed-Edom not as a Levite, but as a Gentile Philistine. We trace the exceptional faithfulness of this man, his unique role in King David's life, and his surprising appointment as a guardian of the Ark in Zion. This journey through Scripture reveals a wonderful foreshadowing of the inclusion of the Gentiles into the hope of Israel, a theme powerfully confirmed in the New Testament. Discover the outstanding personal lessons for our homes and faith today from this often-overlooked biblical account. **Chapters:** 00:00 - Introduction 01:50 - A Study of Contrasts: Uzzah and Obed-Edom 04:20 - Re-examining the Identity of Obed-Edom the Gittite 09:45 - Obed-Edom: A Philistine Proselyte in David's Company 13:10 - The Ark in Obed-Edom's House: A Testament to Reverence 17:35 - The Nature of the Divine Blessing 20:25 - David's Second Attempt and Obed-Edom's Honor 25:40 - Two Tabernacles and a Gentile Porter 30:15 - The Legacy of Blessing: Obed-Edom's Family 30 Years Later 34:50 - The Prophetic Fulfillment in Amos 9 38:40 - The Jerusalem Council: James' Inspired Commentary 42:55 - Application: Making Our Homes a Sanctuary 47:30 - Conclusion [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csK2I-bxeRc[/embedyt] **Categories & Bible Verses:** 📜 1 Chronicles 13 📜 2 Samuel 6 📜 1 Chronicles 15 📜 1 Chronicles 16 📜 1 Chronicles 26 📜 Psalm 128 📜 Amos 9 📜 Acts 15 Tags: Bible study, Old Testament, Christadelphian, Obed Edom, Ark of the Covenant, King David, Gentiles, Bible prophecy, faith, home We are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters in Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.
