Learning Intention: How does the Holy Spirit guide these people today?	Judges	Kings	Prophets
Today	The Judges today are very different from the Old Testament. Our judges from today work for justice. They make things just for all people. Especially if a person or a group of people committed a crime. Depending on the crime they have committed the judges will have to decide what kind of consequence the  person who committed the crime will be given. The Judge does not send the sinner to jail because he or she doesn't like the sinner but has to gather up enough information	Our Kings and Queens today are the same as Queens and Kings in the Old Testament. Kings and Queens today rule their land the same way the Old Testament Kings and Queens ruled their land. The only thing that today’s Queens and Kings do different today  is ruling their land with just.  Just like a judges Kings and Queens decide rules and	Prophets are people who praise and talk to God virtually. Today we do not talk to God face to face or with him responding in a matter of time with his own voice but we talk to him through prayer, singing, and going to church. People think we our self is a prophet. The people God has created are prophets. No one knows if there are any more prophets today.
Old Testament	The time of the Judges in the old testament was brutal. There unfaithful Kings and there were graceful Judges. The judges very merciful people. There mission was to be a leader to everyone. God guided and gave strength to the Judges for their good work. There were only fifteen judges and God chose all of them. One of the chosen judges was a woman named Deborah. Among of those chosen judges was Deborah. Deborah  was not on only a judge but was also a Prophetess, making God’s word known to the people on earth.   She reminded people of the world of the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses on mount Sinai.  She gave a message from God to Barak to gather Ten thousand soldiers to fight against the unkind King John and his ungraceful leader Sisera at Mount Tabor. Barak had no confidence to fight against king John  but Deborah told him to follow God  and trust in him and he would be victorious. Deborah was a preacher. She would give advice and talk about to everyone who would visit her. She stay under a tree until someone passed by and she would preach to them.	During the time of Solomon it was not like today. It was very different. All crimes had a consensus. The motto ‘Forgive and Forget’ did not live in the hearts of the people. Solomon was a true follower to the people of his land. His father King David trusted in Solomon. Solomon anointed by Kadok and nathan when his was only 20 but was chosen to be a king by God. His belief in god was strong. One day Solomon had a vision where God was talking to him. Solomon asked for wisdom from God. God gave Solomon what he wanted but God gave Solomon wealth as well. Solomon’s kingdom grew bigger with approximately 1 million people. King Solomon decided to divide his kingdom into 12 districts so each 12 months of a the year each district  has to provide what is needed at the central court. Solomon wanted to maintain the kingdom and form friendly association with his neighbour. It took him 20 years to build the temple and it is constructed of the finest cedar wood and precious metals.  In it I will put the Ark of Covenant in which are kept the tablet with the 10 commandment on them.  This was put in a place called the Holy of Hollies. The Temple was a dream from his father King David who was also guided by the spirit of God. One day Solomon was in a challenging situation. Two women was fighting over one baby. Solomon told one of his guards to cut the baby in half and give one half to one of the women and other half to the other women. One of the women told Solomon to stop and give the baby to the other women. Once solomon had heard the cry Solomon told the guard to give the baby to the women to stop. Solomon used trust from God to decided which women should have the baby.	Isaiah lived in a kingdom of Judah 800 years before Christ After King Solomon died towards the end of the 10th century, his kingdom of Israel was torn by war and fighting.  The kingdom was split in 2 – the kingdom of Israel also called the Northern Kingdom and the kingdom of Judah also known as the Southern Kingdom.  Both kingdoms had kings but it was only on Judah that the traditions of worshipping God which King David has started and handed on to his son King Solomon were preserved.  Judah was all that was left of Solomon’s great kingdom which he had lead so wisely.
