Mystery of History Volume 1: Week 18: Lesson 52-54: King Josiah, Nahum and Zephaniah, and Jeremiah (Judah’s Prophet)

Mystery of History

Mystery of History

Lesson 52: King Josiah

Besides reading the MOH lesson, we read 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35. My youngest also read Chapter 97 of the Children’s Story Bible.

This lesson is closely related to Lesson 53, and the Ayssrians play a part. So over these three lessons, some extended Assyrian activities are fun.

Lesson 53: Nahum and Zephaniah

After reading the MOH lesson, I showed the kids the Bible Project videos for the books of Nahum and Zephaniah. From this point forward, I use these for each book of the Bible covered. They are short, comic-style drawings that keep the kids captivated while giving a really cool overview of these books. They help to put the prophetic books in perspective.

I also stress, over and over, that the layout of our English Bible is not all chronological, and try to show the kids how the story actually flows. Mystery of History makes this easier, but I think constantly explaining it is helpful.

The kids also read both of these books in their Bibles. There was LOTS of Bible reading this week!

Mystery of History

Lesson 54: Jeremiah (Judah’s Prophet)

After reading the MOH lesson, we watched two more Bible Project Videos, and read portions of Jeremiah, plus the book of Lamentations. My youngest read Chapter 98 of The Children’s Story Bible.

We added more kings and prophets to the chart we started several weeks ago.

To finish up, we added these events to our timelines, did the mapwork in the Companion Guide, my 9 & 12 year olds added the corresponding sections to their labpooks (folder books), and everyone did the Week 17 review quiz.

Be sure to check out all the great book suggestions and activity ideas in the Mystery of History Companion Guide! Follow the entire course with us at the main Mystery of History Volume 1 page here.

People always try to say that America was not founded as a Christian nation. My answer: read a book. All the books. The internet will be no help. If you want a good movie to enjoy with your family this weekend, check out some (or all!) of my favorites for Independence Day: Dear homeschooling mama, don’t let the pressure of the world around you bring unneeded stress into your home this summer. Don’t let the educational goals of others dictate what happens in your home. Guess what?!? @iew Institute for Excellence in Writing is giving me TWO $50 gift certificates to give to my readers! When did people start fearing babies? They are literally the cutest and most adorable members of the human race. They make life better for everyone who has one. I am the product of a 14-year-old teen mom. I never met my biological father. My mom was not a Christian. She was addicted to drugs. We lived very poorly for years. Everywhere we go I look for opportunities to bring history to life. So a Mississippi Riverboat cruise has been on my list for years! There is so much history on the Mississippi, and I wanted my kids to experience just a little bit of it. Moms, there is no better encouragement, wisdom, inspiration, or instruction for your calling that what is found in the scriptures. There is no better preparation for our day than time spent in God’s word. It strengthens the heart, reminds us of God’s goodness and sovereignty, and builds our confidence as Christians. I would like to remind you that “behind” is a public school notion. You might not be finishing your grade-leveled book by the end of the grade level year, but that really isn’t important. Many traditional homeschool curricula are just copies of public school curriculum. They follow the public k-12 plan with a lot of busywork and repetition.
