1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,700 As an introduction. Let me just say that the history 2 00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:09,400 of David as the second king of Israel relative to his birth. 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,500 His ancestry, his selection for office, his character and his 4 00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:19,200 achievement shows him to be a very distinguished type of Jesus 5 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,300 Christ as king. This fact is strengthened in 6 00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:26,000 three ways. Number one, it is strengthened 7 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,200 by Covenant. In second, Samuel chapter 7 and 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,200 verses 11 and 12 the Bible. Bible says, and since the time 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,000 that I commanded judges to be over My People, Israel and have 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,600 caused me to rest from all thine enemies. 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,900 Also, the Lord tell, if V, that he will make the in-house. 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,500 And when thy days, be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy 13 00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:52,500 fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed 14 00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:56,300 out of thy bowels and I will establish his kingdom. 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,500 Not only that, though, but it was also strengthened by 16 00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:02,400 prophecy. Found in Isaiah chapter 9, 17 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,200 beginning in verse 6, where the scripture says For unto us a 18 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,800 child is born, unto us a son is given and the government shall 19 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,200 be upon his shoulder. And his name Shall be Called 20 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,100 wonderful, counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting, father, 21 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,800 the Prince of Peace of the increase of his government and 22 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,400 peace. There shall be no end upon his 23 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,700 kingdom to order it. To establish it with judgment 24 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,600 and with Justice from henceforth. 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,500 Even forever, the Zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. 26 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,900 And as we noticed, just a moment ago in your hearing, as I read 27 00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:43,200 the text is found in Hosea, chapter 3 beginning in verse 4, 28 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,400 I'll read that again for the children of Israel. 29 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,200 Shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and 30 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,200 without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an e phid, 31 00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:57,700 and without a tariff am afterward, shall the children of 32 00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:01,900 Israel return and seek the Lord, their God and David, their King 33 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,000 and shall fear the lord, and his goodness in the latter days. 34 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,400 Not only is it strengthened by Covenant and prophecy. 35 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,500 But also by fulfillment, I wasn't here to here all the 36 00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:15,200 sermons that show. I preached on, on the kingdom. 37 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,500 But when the kingdom was established, when the church was 38 00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:21,100 established in Jerusalem, when the very first gospel sermon was 39 00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:24,100 being preached, he may have even dealt with these very versus, I 40 00:02:24,108 --> 00:02:26,400 don't know. But in Acts chapter 2, this 41 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,700 shows its fulfillment. And beginning in verse 29, the 42 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,000 Sure says, men and Brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the 43 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,400 patriarch David for, he is both dead and buried. 44 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,500 And his Sepulchre is with us unto this day, therefore, being 45 00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:45,800 a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him 46 00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:48,700 that have the fruit of his loins according to this flesh. 47 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,700 He would raise up Christ to sit on his throne. 48 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,700 He seeing this before. Spake of the resurrection of 49 00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:58,600 Christ that his soul was not left in Hell, neither his flesh 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,900 did see corruption This Jesus hath God raised up where of we 51 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:08,100 are all Witnesses. Therefore, being by the right 52 00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,600 hand of God, exalted and having received of the father that that 53 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,800 he hath shed the promise of the Holy Ghost. 54 00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:18,400 He has shed forth this, which you now, see and hear. 55 00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:23,700 And finally, in one more verse in verse 36, therefore let all 56 00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:27,200 the house of Israel, know, assuredly that God hath made 57 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,500 that same Jesus whom ye have crucified. 58 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Both Lord and Christ. I wanted to share with you the 59 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,700 idea that when I wrote the question concerning David and 60 00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:43,000 Jesus being with similarities or points of contact or Jesus being 61 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,200 a king like David, I enjoyed the study so much. 62 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,600 I decided to write this sermon and hopefully it is helpful to 63 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,400 you in some way. But the first thing I want to 64 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,400 notice is that Jesus Christ was a king like, David, because 65 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,100 David was from Bethlehem and first Sam Chapter 16 and verse 66 00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,900 1, and we're going to get to the narrative that comes after this 67 00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:08,200 verse in just a minute on another point, I want to notice 68 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,800 just verse 1. Now though, as we notice the 69 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,600 fact that David was from Bethlehem and the Lord said unto 70 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,200 Samuel, how long will that mourn for Saul seeing? 71 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,000 I have rejected him from reigning over Israel, fill thine 72 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,400 horn with oil and go. And I will send thee to Jesse 73 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,600 the Bethlehem a'ight for. I have provided me a king among 74 00:04:30,700 --> 00:04:36,300 His sons, the ancient name for Bethlehem was Efrat or Ephrata, 75 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,300 which is later called Bethlehem, meaning House of Bread, and 76 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:44,000 because it was David's, patrimony, the New Testament 77 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,200 speaks of it as the city of David in Luke Chapter 2, and 78 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,200 verse number 11. Now, Jesus Christ. 79 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,900 Be our Lord being born in Bethlehem was not accidental. 80 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,200 That is not just some coincidence. 81 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,100 In fact, God sees He's the end with the beginning. 82 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,300 You know, when we look at prophecy we see progressive 83 00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:10,600 revelation. We see things or God's will 84 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,600 imparted to man overtime in bits and pieces and the prophets 85 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,400 didn't have a full understanding of what God was instructing 86 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,400 them, or what God was telling them to predict or to prophesy 87 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,800 about. We know what all of that means. 88 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,700 Now, what a blessing that is that we can open the scriptures 89 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,600 and we can look to Shadow and substance, and type and any type 90 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,100 and Understand, God's entire plan. 91 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,200 But remember this, this is not accidental. 92 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,000 God sees the end with the beginning me illustrate. 93 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,900 It like this. If you were here last Lord's Day 94 00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:50,200 Terry, did an excellent job in teaching about the cup and 95 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,800 teaching about one cup. But, you know, that was nothing 96 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,400 new of the symbols. That would represent the 97 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,600 communion service back under the law of Moses. 98 00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:03,800 We can go back and find that every single house would have a 99 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,300 Asked over the house is symbolic of or representative of the 100 00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:11,700 church today. What did they have? 101 00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:15,600 Every single house had a Passover and when that would 102 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,900 happen, they would have one lamb for one house if the house. 103 00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:24,500 And by the way, the house does not mean the building the house, 104 00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:27,600 means the household or the occupants in that house. 105 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,400 The family if you will, the Bible would say that if the 106 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,300 house was small, then a vision. Sure could come into the midst 107 00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:39,200 of them, but none of the Lamb could ever depart or go outside 108 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,100 for anyone else and it was one lamb for one house. 109 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,800 Today, we have one loaf of unleavened bread. 110 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,900 On this table, we have one cup contained. 111 00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:53,600 Therein is the fruit of the vine on this table, we have the same 112 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,900 thing that symbolized a lamb for a house, the Apostle Paul in 113 00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:00,000 writing to those at Corinth. What did he say? 114 00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:04,200 He said Jesus Christ is our Passover. /. 115 00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:08,500 And so today, we will commemorate his death, his 116 00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:11,100 burial, and his resurrection in the communion. 117 00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:14,600 Another thing to God, sees the end with the beginning. 118 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,400 I believe this with all my heart, when they took the blood 119 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,800 of the Lamb, it was placed in one basin. 120 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,800 Accidental know, I think God always knew there'd be one cup 121 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,600 on the Lord's table. The book birth of our Lord in 122 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,800 the city of David was not accidental. 123 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,800 In fact, as I just mentioned God sees the end with the beginning. 124 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,400 Going back, seven hundred years before Jesus ever graced this 125 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,200 world with his presence ever, came into this world 700 years 126 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,400 before, that one of the Minor Prophets of God, one of the 127 00:07:48,407 --> 00:07:51,000 Twelve Minor Prophets by the name of Micah. 128 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,100 He Foretold and Micah chapter 5, I believe in verse two, that 129 00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,300 Jesus Christ would be from Bethlehem. 130 00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:03,400 Not accidental. God sees the end with the 131 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,500 beginning, a point of contact is they were both from Bethlehem. 132 00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:13,700 But secondly, David was of the royal tribe of Judah. 133 00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:17,900 According to the story in the Book of Ruth Boaz of Bethlehem 134 00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:23,700 Judah, begat Obed, who begat Jesse, the father of David Ruth, 135 00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:29,100 chapter 4, and verses 21 and 22. So in other words of the 136 00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:32,299 Thousand people. Judah was the divinely selected 137 00:08:32,299 --> 00:08:36,299 tribe, among the 12 from which the Kings would come. 138 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,299 Now going all the way back to the beginning of the Bible. 139 00:08:39,299 --> 00:08:42,299 In Genesis chapter 49 in verse 10. 140 00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:47,200 The scripture says, the scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor 141 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,900 a lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh come. 142 00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:55,700 And unto him shall the Gathering of the people be, you know, this 143 00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:58,600 is one of the most outstanding passages of scripture in the 144 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,100 Bible. When it pertains really, to 145 00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:05,500 Jesus Christ, who was a descendant of Judah, but notice 146 00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:10,600 with me some terms. Now the word scepter, the word 147 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,200 scepter is defined as a stick. It is defined as a rod. 148 00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:21,500 It is also defined as a gavel. It is a description of somebody 149 00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:24,000 who would literally or figuratively. 150 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,600 Hold the position of absolute Authority and hold the position 151 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,000 of Final Authority and final judgment. 152 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,100 For example, if you stand before a judge in the court of law and 153 00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:40,200 the judge says, you are guilty, and then he takes his gavel and 154 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,700 he strikes it with a downward swing down on that table there, 155 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,300 and he makes that noise that gives the final Authority or 156 00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:52,800 final judgment. No one is able to hold the gavel 157 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,800 or execute that downward swing of it other than the judge. 158 00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:02,900 Also, So, the word Shiloh. The word Shiloh is a very 159 00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:06,700 interesting word because literally it means, rest, 160 00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:14,700 literally it means tranquil. It means peaceful notice Shiloh. 161 00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:19,700 Is also an epithet for messiah. So, what is he saying? 162 00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:23,900 He's talking about the Messiah, having the scepter or the gavel, 163 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,700 the Messiah at some point in time, is going to have the 164 00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:31,500 absolute Authority and final judgment. 165 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,500 Eat. Well, the story of a whole is 166 00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:39,600 this really the thought of this verse is that the son of Jacob 167 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,700 called Judah will produce a tribe but that tribe will not 168 00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:49,000 produce the law of government for God's people for a while. 169 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,500 That's going to be done through the tribe of Levi. 170 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,800 And those laws would be administered through the law of 171 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,000 Moses that will not be changed, until somebody comes. 172 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,600 That is described as Low or the Messiah and then everything is 173 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,600 going to change. And when that does this is the 174 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,500 beauty of it all. Then God's not going to deal 175 00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:15,400 with the nation of Israel. Only as his people, it is the 176 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,100 world Arrangement. It is for everyone. 177 00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:24,600 And the Bible says that all will be gathered unto him and not 178 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,200 Moses. You know what? 179 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:33,000 Also is an amazing thought here, if the word Shiloh means rest, 180 00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:36,700 Now, we know that Jesus Christ is the king. 181 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,400 We know that Jesus Christ is raining now and he is reigning 182 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,100 over his kingdom. The church is the Earthly 183 00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:47,400 institution of the Heavenly Kingdom. 184 00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:52,300 We are part of the kingdom of heaven right here on Earth. 185 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,800 And when Jesus comes back, he that has final Authority and 186 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,800 final judgment will take those that are his those members of 187 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,900 his church and handed over to his father. 188 00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:08,000 And then Jesus Christ will step down his Reign and God will be 189 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,100 all in all for all eternity. But Jesus Christ is raining now 190 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,200 over the kingdom I said all that. 191 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,200 I want to add one more point. If the word Shiloh means 192 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,300 tranquil peaceful and so forth and we know that he's the one 193 00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:28,100 that's the Messiah that goes hand-in-hand with a passage that 194 00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:33,200 Jesus said when Jesus says come unto me all ye that labor and 195 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,300 are heavy laden. Aidan. 196 00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:40,700 And I will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn of me 197 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,700 for. I am meek and lowly at heart and 198 00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:44,700 you shall find rest unto your souls. 199 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:50,400 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light, not only is the 200 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,900 same person Shiloh that's going to hold the gavel is going to 201 00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:57,800 execute final judgment. He's also the one that gives 202 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,200 rest he's the one that gives peace. 203 00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:07,600 When you see a child of God that has lived their life, all their 204 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,900 life, faithful unto death. There's a peace that comes over 205 00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:16,900 that person at the end of their life because they know that they 206 00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:22,400 have rest in Jesus. They know that they have Rest In 207 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,400 Christ. Having those wonderful 208 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,300 characteristics and qualities that the Lord has and we submit 209 00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:31,600 ourselves to him. We have those things in this 210 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,300 life regardless of whatever the circumstances, maybe that come 211 00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:38,700 our way. What a blessing that is one more 212 00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:44,400 point about these two dispensations of time, a person 213 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,500 was governed by the laws, in other words, whatever, 214 00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:52,600 dispensation that a person lived under, they were governed by the 215 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,600 laws of that. Dispensation, for example, if 216 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,700 somebody lived under the law of Moses, then they would be under 217 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,500 the laws of that. Dispensation, they would be 218 00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:08,100 following the law of Moses. If they died before, Jesus 219 00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:11,000 Christ died on the cross. And before Jesus Christ, 220 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,300 established his church, then the blood of Jesus would go 221 00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:17,600 backwards and cover. The sins of those that were 222 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:23,100 faithful under the law of Moses, but if a person lived under the 223 00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:26,100 law of Moses, Of their life and all of those Jews. 224 00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:28,600 And we can look to the 3000 that were saved on the day of 225 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,400 Pentecost when they were baptized into Christ. 226 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,200 They were Jewish by Blood. So they live their whole life 227 00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:39,200 under the law of Moses under that dispensation of time. 228 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,200 But the blood of Jesus Christ from the cross. 229 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,200 Also ran for words and we contact that blood at baptism 230 00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:49,500 what I'm getting at. Is this, whatever dispensation 231 00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:53,900 of time that a man lives under he is to be subject to the law. 232 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,800 Laws that govern that dispensation and this tribe of 233 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,500 Levi administered through the law of Moses would be until 234 00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:07,300 Christ came the Messiah Shiloh bringing rest. 235 00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:11,300 And now Jesus Christ has final Authority and Jesus Christ will 236 00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:14,700 be the righteous judge. He will be the judge sitting on 237 00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:16,500 the throne. We will stand before the 238 00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:19,700 Judgment seat of Christ at sentencing day. 239 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,300 You know, I don't believe there's going to be a whole lot 240 00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:25,500 said on the day of judgment, I may be wrong. 241 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,300 We'll get there and maybe we'll talk about it later then if I 242 00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:33,500 am, but I'll tell you something. I think that it's a day of 243 00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:35,900 sentencing, I think it's a day of Separation. 244 00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:43,100 When the judge is going to pass down judgment, but the trial is 245 00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:46,900 not on the day of judgment. The trial is now in this life, 246 00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:51,900 I'm on trial right now at the end of my life, I'm either 247 00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:55,400 convicted or acquitted because I've either followed him or I 248 00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:01,000 have not And then, on the day of the Resurrection, that's the 249 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,900 sentencing day, either acquitted, or guilty as charged 250 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,100 and sentenced to a condemnation in hell. 251 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,600 Well, the beauty of it is also is that when Jesus comes when he 252 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,800 came all people will gather unto him and not Moses. 253 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,000 David though was the first king of that tribe. 254 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,600 Our Lord was also from the tribe of Judah. 255 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000 It is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah of which 256 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,300 tribe. Moses spake, nothing concerning 257 00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:37,600 priesthood. Now, the fact that Jesus Christ 258 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,700 was from Judah. And, by the way, God could have 259 00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,800 done anything that he wanted to do. 260 00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,100 God could have had none of these types and shadows, which were 261 00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:48,800 figures of things to come. He could have not done any of 262 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,100 that if he didn't want to. God, could have not 263 00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:54,300 prophetically spoke of Jesus, in the word of God, if that's what 264 00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:58,900 he chose to do, we just know that he did, but the fact that 265 00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:03,100 he did, let's look at some of the rights that Jesus Christ has 266 00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:06,900 to the throne, first of all, because he was from the tribe of 267 00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:10,800 Judah, he had the tribal right to the Wrong. 268 00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:17,000 But what about Matthew, chapter 1 and verses 1 through 16 time 269 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,700 will not permit us to go and read those names there. 270 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:26,500 But here, we find that Jesus has the legal right to the throne to 271 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,200 not only the tribal right? But the legal right now, Mary 272 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,400 was the mother of Jesus. She was a virgin and the Bible 273 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,200 says that that which was conceived in her was of the Holy 274 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,200 Ghost, that signified or made the fact that God Is the father 275 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,800 of Jesus Christ. Mary is his Earthly mother. 276 00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:51,400 Jesus did not have an Earthly father in the flesh. 277 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,300 So we said all of that, but now will say this, he had the legal 278 00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:59,500 right to the throne to though, because Joseph, who was the 279 00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:04,300 Foster father of Jesus, he was also a descendant of David and 280 00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:09,200 therefore he could therefore by law, give Jesus the right to the 281 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,000 throne. But not only the tribal right. 282 00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:15,300 The legal right? But also the rights by Blood and 283 00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:20,200 Luke chapter 3 verses 23 through 31, it shows his connection, his 284 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,800 blood connection with David by giving the ancestors of Mary 285 00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:29,400 Jesus had the tribal right to the throne. 286 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,500 Jesus had the legal right to the throne and Jesus had the rights 287 00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:38,700 by Blood to be king on the throne. 288 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:45,500 Thirdly though, Jesus Christ was a king like David because David 289 00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:49,300 was divinely. Chosen and anointed in first, 290 00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:51,800 Samuel chapter 16. Verses 1 through 13. 291 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,400 I know, I know I mentioned to you just verse one a minute ago, 292 00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:59,600 but first of all, let me just say this, I puts all here to 293 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,500 show the difference between Saul and David. 294 00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:08,700 Saul was the People's Choice. David was God's choice and the 295 00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:13,600 Bible would say In first Samuel chapter 16 beginning in verse 1 296 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,000 now this is after Samuel had said to Saul that God had 297 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,900 rejected him because it's better to obey than it is to sacrifice. 298 00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:27,900 And so God says Samuel, how long are you going to mourn for Saul 299 00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:30,200 seeing? I have rejected him from 300 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,700 reigning over Israel. My people he said, what I want 301 00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:38,000 you to do is I want you to get up and I want you to fill your 302 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,500 horn with oil and I want you to Go to the Bethlehem might Jesse 303 00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:45,600 by name for I have chosen. One of his sons. 304 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,100 One of his sons is going to rain on the throne. 305 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,900 Samuel basically says this. He said, if I do that and solve 306 00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:58,700 finds out He's going to kill me. And God says, what you do is you 307 00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:02,300 take a heifer and you say, you're going for the sacrifice 308 00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:07,400 and you invite Jesse and his sons and I will tell you which 309 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,900 one of the sun's that I have chosen. 310 00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:13,300 And the Bible says, when they got there, they ask Samuel. 311 00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:16,200 Are you coming in peace? He says, yes, I have come in. 312 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,500 Peace, we have come to sacrifice. 313 00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:23,000 And like God said, the sons of Jesse began to pass by or in 314 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,300 front of Samuel, you know, they begin with the eldest son. 315 00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:31,800 The first son, that passes by. Is he liable? 316 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,400 And the Bible says that Samuel looks on alya band. 317 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,100 He says, surely I am looking at the anointed of God, but God 318 00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:45,000 said, no, I have not chosen him. And he said, Samuel don't look 319 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,600 to the countenance of a man, and don't look to the stature of a 320 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,200 man because God does not look at those things on the outward in 321 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,100 the outward. Way God looks on the heart. 322 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,400 So then abinadab walks by, and God says, I have not chosen him 323 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,400 and then shama walks by. And God did not choose him and 324 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,800 seven sons of Jesse pass before Samuel only to find that. 325 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,400 Every single one of them was rejected in the eyes of God. 326 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,200 So Samuel, knowing that God spoke those words at one of his 327 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,200 sons would be king. So he asks, who else do you have 328 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,700 any other Sons? I think it's beautiful just as 329 00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:29,300 well. Just the shepherd boy. 330 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,900 Just a shepherd. Just the young one. 331 00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:40,200 The Keeper of the sheep at the picture of what Jesus is to us. 332 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,600 He is the great Shepherd to. He's the Good Shepherd. 333 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,400 We are his sheep. The Bible says that Samuel says, 334 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,400 we will stay right here, and we will not even sit down until you 335 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,500 get him and fetch him, and bring him before me. 336 00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,400 The Bible says that when he comes before him, God said, 337 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,600 that's who I have chosen. And from that horny took the oil 338 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,800 and he anointed him in the presence of his Brethren, that 339 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,300 he was to be the one. I want to make one point. 340 00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:13,000 Remember when I just said, when Ally of passed by and God told 341 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,200 Samuel don't look at the outward sign of, look at the 342 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,000 countenance. Don't look at the stature of the 343 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,400 man. God looks at the heart. 344 00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:24,300 Was he saying that you got to find an ugly one to be the king? 345 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,400 Was he saying that you can't be good-looking and serve God? 346 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,400 Was he saying that absolutely not, in fact, in the Old 347 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,200 Testament, there are four man. You've heard me preach on this. 348 00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:39,400 There are four men that are considered handsome and built. 349 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,700 Well, who are they? They were King Saul. 350 00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:44,900 That's number one. Number two, there was Joseph 351 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,500 number three. A son of David Absalom whose 352 00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:51,000 hair was as black as the Raven's wing. 353 00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:56,100 And the fourth one. Was David? 354 00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:03,900 David wasn't ugly, man. David was a handsome man. 355 00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:08,800 The point is this, when the people look to Saul and Saul 356 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,000 that he is shoulder stood and towered above everybody else. 357 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,800 They said that's our King because he looks like the kings 358 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,100 in the world. He's a big mighty, man. 359 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,100 That's all God was saying. I look at the heart, he was 360 00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:26,300 anointed with oil before his Brethren. 361 00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:29,800 This should cause us to expect David to be a great king and 362 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,500 also to Him as a proper type of Jesus Christ. 363 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,500 Like David, Jesus was divinely. Chosen. 364 00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:39,600 Jesus was anointed through the prophet. 365 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,900 Isaiah, God, spake of him as in Isaiah, 42 and verse 1. 366 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,400 He spake of him as my chosen in whom my soul delighteth. 367 00:23:49,900 --> 00:23:54,100 You remember at the baptism of Jesus, at the Jordan, the Bible 368 00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:57,400 says that God anointed him with the Holy Spirit. 369 00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:02,700 And with power, he also is King after God's heart, expressed in 370 00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:06,500 the words, this is my beloved Son in whom I am. 371 00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:14,800 Well pleased, he was God's choice to but number for Jesus 372 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,000 is a king like David because David was manifested or made 373 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,700 known to Israel. In first Samuel chapter 17. 374 00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:25,900 You remember when the Philistines were in battle or 375 00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:28,400 the battle were set in Array against Israel. 376 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,600 In the time will not permit us to go into all the Tales of that 377 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,000 story. I'll just point out a couple of 378 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,200 things. You remember that the People's 379 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:42,400 Choice saw fled in Terror, not only that, but every single one 380 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,700 of those in Israel, all of those in the Army and so forth. 381 00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:50,000 They all fled in Terror and the Bible says it on one mountain, 382 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,900 was Israel on the other Mountain where the Philistines and the 383 00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:56,200 battlefield was down between them in the valley, what 384 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,300 happened? Goliath, a Philistine giant, the 385 00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:02,800 champion of the Teens. Who some Scholars say was 9 386 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,900 feet, 9 inches tall. Other Scholars said he was 10 387 00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:07,800 feet tall. It really doesn't make any 388 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,900 difference. This is one great. 389 00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:14,500 Big man. And for 40 days, twice a day. 390 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,700 He passed by the Battleground and he said, choose you a man 391 00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:23,900 for you. Choose you a man for you that 392 00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:26,800 would come and fight against me. And if he kills me we will be 393 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,600 your servant. We will serve you, but if I 394 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,400 Prevail over him and I killed him, then you will serve us, you 395 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,000 will be our servants. No one. 396 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,500 Wanted any part of this great Philistine Giant on the scene, 397 00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:44,700 though, comes a young boy, by the name of David. 398 00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:48,700 A Shepherd boy, he comes on the scene and he says, who is this 399 00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:52,200 uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the 400 00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:55,600 Living God. He tells King Saul King Saul 401 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,900 says, you can't go against him. King Saul says, you're just a 402 00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:01,400 youth. You're our buddy Youth and he a 403 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,800 man of war from his youth, but David says, let beinhart not 404 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,600 fail because of him, thy servant will fight and the same God in 405 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,000 heaven. That's the whole point. 406 00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:15,800 The same God in heaven, that delivered me from The Lion and 407 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,300 the bear. That's the same one. 408 00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:20,300 That's going to deliver me. Now for the battle is the 409 00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:22,400 Lord's. And the Bible says, When the 410 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,000 Philistines looked to David, he disdained him. 411 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000 Can you imagine the giant was wondering of all the people? 412 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,300 You could have chosen. Is he the one? 413 00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:34,300 You know, I don't know if this is true. 414 00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:38,600 But I heard a scholar. One time, I heard somebody 415 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,900 quote, a scholar one time so this is just free. 416 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,900 But I heard that when it says that he was Ruddy in a fair 417 00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:49,900 countenance, didn't means that he probably didn't even shave 418 00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:52,200 yet. Now, I don't know if that's 419 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,100 totally true but I do know this. He was young in his face. 420 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,800 And the Philistines look to whom Israel had Chosen and he 421 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,200 disdained him and he says I'm going to feed your carcass to 422 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,700 the dogs or however he said it, and when he said that, and when 423 00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:12,800 Goliath started to proceed against him, David runs on him 424 00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:15,500 from the pouch. He took one of those five smooth 425 00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,700 Stones. He took that sling and he slung 426 00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:21,200 it and it struck the Philistine in the forehead, so great. 427 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,500 It embedded itself in the forehead of that Philistine. 428 00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:28,700 And down he goes and David goes over to the Osteen and he grabs 429 00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:30,300 his sword. I've tried to Picture This. 430 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,100 Maybe just rips it out of its sheath, I don't know and he 431 00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:36,200 takes it may be over his head like this, with a downward blow, 432 00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:42,200 he cuts the head off of the Philistine, Giant When that 433 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,700 happened, David was announced as the champion among God's people 434 00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:53,900 and the champion among God's cause he was announced as the 435 00:27:53,900 --> 00:27:56,600 champion. In fact, when they came back 436 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,800 from the battle, so loved him, everything was great. 437 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000 This young man really stepped up. 438 00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:07,800 And he was fine until they came back from a battle against the 439 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,100 Philistines that there were victorious over and the women 440 00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:14,100 came out in the women played the women sang, the women danced. 441 00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:16,600 And they said Saul has killed his thousands. 442 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:22,000 But David his ten thousands. He was revealed to Israel. 443 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:27,100 Truly, in a remarkable way. Jesus in like manner was also 444 00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:30,900 made known in a remarkable way. It took place at his baptism in 445 00:28:30,908 --> 00:28:33,900 the Jordan River. John the Baptist said of him, I 446 00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:36,100 knew him. Not but that he should be made 447 00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:41,600 manifest to Israel for this cause came I baptizing in water 448 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,400 on that occasion. Jesus was pointed out as the 449 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,700 Messiah, by The Descent of the Holy Spirit, upon him in the 450 00:28:48,700 --> 00:28:52,100 form of a dove. And the voice of God, who said 451 00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:55,500 this is my beloved Son in whom I am. 452 00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,600 Well pleased. Let's go for forward. 453 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,200 A number of chapters, though, to Matthew chapter 17. 454 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,300 This is after Peter had said And Jesus had said, I'm a build my 455 00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:10,000 church on the statement of fact, that thou art the Christ, the 456 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,400 son of the Living, God, by the 17th chapter on the Mount of 457 00:29:13,408 --> 00:29:16,600 transfiguration, Peter, James, and John are there. 458 00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:20,000 And you remember, also, that Moses and Elijah appear, and the 459 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,200 only reason I believe that they were there is to show that Jesus 460 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,300 Christ was the Fulfillment of both the law and the prophets. 461 00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:32,100 He fulfilled it all as Jesus says, I did not come to destroy, 462 00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:37,600 but to fulfill Matthew 5 and 17. Well, Peters overcome by this 463 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,900 emotional experience. And he says, I got a great idea. 464 00:29:39,900 --> 00:29:42,300 We need to build three Tabernacles naturally one for 465 00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:43,900 you. Jesus one for Moses and one for 466 00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:45,800 Elijah. What did God do? 467 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,900 God made known once again, he made known to those, that were 468 00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:54,300 there, present, who their focus needs to be on. 469 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,900 As he said, when he came from the Waters of the Jordan. 470 00:29:56,900 --> 00:29:59,800 He said, this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased when 471 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,700 The Descent of the Holy Spirit and the Dove came down upon him. 472 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,800 He received the Holy Spirit without measure will in Matthew. 473 00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:08,800 Chapter 17, he reiterates. That fact. 474 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,500 And he says no, this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well 475 00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:18,700 pleased hear, ye him. From his baptism though, from 476 00:30:18,700 --> 00:30:22,100 that point forward, he was known as the anointed of God. 477 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:28,600 Whose will he came to do? Number 5, Jesus was a king like 478 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:33,900 David because David was tested and David was approved because 479 00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:36,100 of Saul's insane and murderous jealousy. 480 00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:38,000 David was forced to flee for his life. 481 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,000 You remember those period of years and Exile in fur and 482 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,700 that's found in first Samuel, the 18th to the 30th chapters. 483 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,900 He's in Exile he is running for his life. 484 00:30:50,700 --> 00:30:56,100 But you know during that period of time he was tried He was 485 00:30:56,100 --> 00:31:00,800 tested and he was prepared to sit on the throne. 486 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,300 You know, you never know what circumstances and this life, I 487 00:31:06,308 --> 00:31:08,600 don't know how God works in all the ways that he works. 488 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,400 His thoughts are so much higher than ours. 489 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,400 I don't know about that, but I do know that sometimes things 490 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,200 that we go through in life that we have to endure many times. 491 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,800 Those of the things that prepare us for something in the future. 492 00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:25,300 I'm not saying that this was divinely appointed but I'll just 493 00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:28,300 use this as an example. I do believe that all the years 494 00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:32,300 of going to Ventura over 12 years of driving to Ventura. 495 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,800 I think that had a little bit to do with helping me in my life. 496 00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:43,700 With people as a preacher. I think that sometimes 497 00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:48,200 circumstances in life and sacrifices that we make those 498 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,300 things, I'm not saying there divinely appointed, I'm just 499 00:31:50,300 --> 00:31:52,800 saying that. Sometimes those are things that 500 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,500 prepare us for things down the road. 501 00:31:56,100 --> 00:31:58,800 Now, who would have thought this was going to be the king and 502 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,000 yet, he's in Exile from first Samuel, the 18th of the 503 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,200 thirtieth chapter, he's running for his life. 504 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:10,300 Saul is out to kill him daily. He was being prepared for the 505 00:32:10,300 --> 00:32:13,400 throne. During this time he puts his 506 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,100 trust totally in God. He developed a character of 507 00:32:17,100 --> 00:32:22,000 patient waiting for God's Own time and suffering every insult 508 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,100 and indignity and he did so without retaliation you. 509 00:32:27,100 --> 00:32:29,800 Remember one time. Now this was his enemy, he had 510 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:34,500 an opportunity to kill Saul. You know what, he said, he says, 511 00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:38,400 who am I to take the life or to slay or to kill the anointed of 512 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,800 God? He had an opportunity to remove 513 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,800 his enemy yet. No retaliation. 514 00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:50,200 The Relentless armies of King Saul were out to get him daily. 515 00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:55,000 No retaliation. What A Hard Road to travel. 516 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,200 To the throne Jesus. Our King was in like manner 517 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,300 tested and approved for over three years in a personal 518 00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:08,300 Ministry, he lived a life of hardship and a life of 519 00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:12,900 humiliating experiences yet the Bible says he was tempted in all 520 00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:16,300 points like as we are yet without sin. 521 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,800 I'm going to tell you something. Have you ever thought about that 522 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:26,900 in all points? Like, as we are. 523 00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:31,100 That means that temptations that I've had in my life. 524 00:33:31,100 --> 00:33:35,000 By the way, Temptation doesn't mean sin giving in to the 525 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,300 Temptation. Is the sin. 526 00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:38,300 The Temptation is going to be there. 527 00:33:38,300 --> 00:33:42,600 And James, 4:7 says, what we do. When the Temptation comes, we 528 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,400 submit our self therefore unto God, we resist the devil and he 529 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,400 will flee from us. But Satan is doing the tempting, 530 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,400 not God. But when we look at that phrase 531 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,800 that Jesus was in all points tempted like as we are that 532 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,200 means that whatever Temptation that man has Even today he was 533 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:04,000 tempted in like manner. The difference was, he was yet 534 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:09,400 without sin and he did that for 33 years or so. 535 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:16,000 But for three years, he was persecuted for three years. 536 00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:20,199 He had nowhere to lay his head. For three years, he was 537 00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:23,199 rejected. For three years, he was 538 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:26,000 criticized and threatened yet with no retaliation. 539 00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:31,500 He did not retaliate at all. He was hounded by rulers of the 540 00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:36,900 Jews who sought his life, John 7 and verse 1 yet, he did not 541 00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:40,699 retaliate, he walked away from them, Luke for 29 and 30. 542 00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:45,100 And during this time he liked David, put his complete trust in 543 00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:47,400 God. So that he could say, I am not 544 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:53,500 alone because the father is in me, Jesus was a Wanderer on the 545 00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:56,500 face of the Earth nowhere, to lay his head, Matthew 8, and 546 00:34:56,500 --> 00:35:00,400 verse 20 patiently, he endured all sort of and dignity and 547 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,900 finally he laid down his life. And you know, the crown that he 548 00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:07,800 got was not the crown of the king. 549 00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:13,800 It was the crown of thorns. He was not given the position of 550 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,600 Honor in this life as a king. No, they put a Scarlet robe on 551 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,100 him with the crown of thorns pressed down on his head and 552 00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:24,600 they mocked him and they said hail King of the Jews. 553 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:31,300 But Jesus is on his throne now. Jesus is on his throne over the 554 00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:33,300 Heavenly Kingdom and you and I are part of that if you're a 555 00:35:33,308 --> 00:35:37,100 member of the church, What a blessing, indeed, that is. 556 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,800 When we look at Jesus life, we find that it was also a weary 557 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,300 Road of suffering as he came to the throne. 558 00:35:44,300 --> 00:35:47,100 The Bible says, he learned obedience by the things in which 559 00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:50,500 he suffered see sometimes suffering is good for us. 560 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,500 We always pray, remove the suffering, remove the suffering, 561 00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:57,700 remove the suffering, maybe we ought to ask for strength in the 562 00:35:57,700 --> 00:36:00,600 testing. Maybe we ought to act ask for 563 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,800 strength to get through this that if it's not God's will to 564 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,600 remove this from my life and I have to go through it then. 565 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,600 So be it. I look forward to the person 566 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,300 that I'm going to be on the other side of this temptation. 567 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,100 This trial, this occurrence, whatever. 568 00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:21,100 He learned obedience by what by the things that he suffered, but 569 00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:25,700 number 6, Jesus was also a king like David because he had David 570 00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:31,300 had a reign of righteousness and a rain of Mercy, David executed 571 00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:33,900 Justice, and righteousness unto all his people. 572 00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:38,600 Second, Samuel chapter 8 and verse 14. 15, the quality of 573 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,300 Mercy is well Illustrated in the morning for Saul and Jonathan. 574 00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:46,600 Now I said, Three already rejected, the idea, the notion 575 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,900 that he should kill King Saul. He says know who am I to do 576 00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:51,400 that? To the anointed of God. 577 00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:56,400 But, you know, when he finds out that Saul and Jonathan, and 578 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,600 Jonathan's brothers are all killed in battle. 579 00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:02,500 Remember what happens? What's amazing to me? 580 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,600 I can see why David would mourn for Jonathan and I can see why 581 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,800 David would write those words. Oh Jonathan Jonathan you have 582 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,400 been there for me as I paraphrase. 583 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,800 Your love is greater than the love of women of a woman. 584 00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:20,600 That's the bond that they had. I can see him morning for him. 585 00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:24,400 The Bible says he Mourns for Saul and not only that, not only 586 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:29,600 that he instructs the daughters of Israel to mourn for Saul to 587 00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:32,900 How easy would it have been? Let's throw a party. 588 00:37:32,900 --> 00:37:37,300 He's finally out of the way. Not the anointed of God, though. 589 00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:42,500 And They Mourn for him. He showed Mercy in that he 590 00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:45,000 extended mercy and kindness to mephibosheth. 591 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,900 Again, we won't go into that whole story but when 592 00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:51,400 mephibosheth was brought before David and he's falling down at 593 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,500 his face right there before King, David, he thinks David is 594 00:37:54,508 --> 00:37:58,500 going to take his life because he knew that the custom was if 595 00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:01,800 there was any remaining from the household of the previous King 596 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,600 that the new king would step in and the new king would kill 597 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,500 every one of them. So any one of these other family 598 00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:11,500 members couldn't Up later and say that's our kingdom, where 599 00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:14,600 the king? That's what mephibosheth thinks 600 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,500 going to happen by the way. That's why he's crippled. 601 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,700 When King Saul died, and Jonathan died, a nurse picked 602 00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:24,500 him up and tried to carry mephibosheth off. 603 00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:27,400 I don't know how old he was. However, it was she drops him. 604 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,300 He was lame and speak for the rest of his life. 605 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,800 He's an exile, he's terrified. He's now before David and David 606 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:38,800 says, get up Not only am I not going to kill you? 607 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:45,100 I am going to Grant unto you all the lands of by father Saul. 608 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,900 You know, my father saw that's a also sometimes used for 609 00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:50,600 grandfather and that's what he's talking about. 610 00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:54,900 I'm going to give you the lands of your grandfather King Saul. 611 00:38:54,900 --> 00:38:56,800 I'm going to restore it all back to you. 612 00:38:57,100 --> 00:39:00,000 And incidentally you remember when David finds out about 613 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,800 mephibosheth he found out from a fibber Chef by a man named ziba 614 00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:07,200 and ziba was a servant of King Saul. 615 00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:09,400 You know what David does you want to talk about? 616 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,700 Extending Mercy, not only does he give mephibosheth the lands 617 00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:17,600 but he makes ziba a former servant of King Saul and all of 618 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:22,100 sybers sons to be those that keep the land for mephibosheth. 619 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,200 But the greatest act of Mercy, kindness is when he said him a 620 00:39:27,207 --> 00:39:29,400 fish and you're going to eat at my table for the rest of your 621 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,800 life. A Reign of righteousness and 622 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:38,000 mercy, David extended. Righteousness, are extended 623 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,500 Mercy to his rebellious, son, Absalom. 624 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:46,700 That's hard to do, but he did. He continued on with his 625 00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:51,900 religious Zeal as well? He kept two prophets, he kept 626 00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:56,300 Nathan and Gad he kept to high priest zadok and abiathar. 627 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,000 Heads of two rival, houses of Aaron First Chronicles, 24, 628 00:40:00,100 --> 00:40:04,600 verses 1 through 6, Yet his constant Delight was, as he said 629 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,400 in the 122nd, Psalm that I was glad. 630 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,700 When they said to me, let us go into the house of the Lord. 631 00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:15,700 He was glad to go to the house of the Lord, A Reign of 632 00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:18,000 righteousness in all these matters. 633 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,400 He was a fine model for his people like David's Reign. 634 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,000 Our Lord is characterized by righteousness and mercy also 635 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:30,000 only more so God said, if him a scepter of uprightness is the 636 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,200 scepter of thy kingdom, thou Hast, loved righteousness and 637 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:38,100 hated iniquity. Hebrews 1 and verses 8 and 9 in 638 00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:40,700 Matthew chapter 9. And verse 36 says, when he saw 639 00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:44,200 the multitudes, he was moved with compassion. 640 00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:47,000 When the woman in adultery was brought before him. 641 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,400 You know what? Jesus Does He extends Mercy? 642 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,900 Oh, he didn't say, leave her alone, let her stay in her sin. 643 00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:54,900 He extended. Mercy said he, who is without 644 00:40:54,900 --> 00:40:57,700 sin, throw the first stone and when they They couldn't and they 645 00:40:57,700 --> 00:41:00,100 all left. He said, neither do I condemn 646 00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:03,700 thee, go and sin? No more. 647 00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:11,600 You can't be saved if you stay in sin, Jesus said, go and sin. 648 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,600 No more. But I'm going to tell you 649 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,200 something, the greatest act of Mercy, can you imagine the Lamb 650 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,800 of God is now on the cross? And for six hours, or so, he's 651 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,000 hanging on the cross. And yet, all he can think of 652 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,900 those enemies that nailed him there that spit in his face, to 653 00:41:25,908 --> 00:41:27,500 put the crown of thorns down on his head. 654 00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:31,700 He says, father forgive them for they know not what they do. 655 00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:35,600 A Reign of righteousness and mercy. 656 00:41:36,700 --> 00:41:39,400 His religious Zeal was manifested in his continual 657 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,000 teaching and preaching his presence in the synagogue on the 658 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,100 Sabbath and his cleansing the Temple and so forth. 659 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,900 You know, that I want to make one point about that. 660 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,400 Sometimes people think that Christians can't get angry? 661 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,900 that Christians I'm talking about like maybe a world 662 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,000 perception of what a Christian professing person ought to be 663 00:42:04,100 --> 00:42:07,300 that if a person ever gets mad that that's wrong in itself than 664 00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:10,300 a person can never be strong-willed or has to be timid 665 00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:16,600 and so forth and so on, Jesus was angry, Jesus overturned. 666 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,300 The tables of the money changers and Jesus said it is written. 667 00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:24,400 My house shall be called The House of Prayer, but you have 668 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,900 made it a den of Thieves. He was mad. 669 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,200 The Bible doesn't say don't get mad. 670 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:34,300 It says be angry and sin. Not let not the sun go down upon 671 00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:36,300 your wrath and either giving place to the devil. 672 00:42:36,300 --> 00:42:38,900 Now that's what happens. If you have anger and Malice in 673 00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:40,900 your heart, you are giving place to the devil. 674 00:42:40,900 --> 00:42:44,600 If you don't get rid of it. But the Bible never says, don't 675 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,400 ever get mad. I'm going to tell you something. 676 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:53,500 Jesus is rain, was one of Mercy, compassion, love, but religious 677 00:42:53,500 --> 00:42:56,700 Zeal to, and that tells me that I can stand underneath the 678 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,700 earnestly contend for the Faith. With all the of every fiber of 679 00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:02,400 my being. I can even get Stern about that 680 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,000 and still be merciful and have compassion and still be a 681 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:13,500 Christian Bible, says be angry but sin, not Finally though. 682 00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:19,100 Jesus was a king like David because David was an Invincible 683 00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:22,500 Warrior. God said unto David. 684 00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:26,300 I will make the a great name like into the name of the great 685 00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:30,500 ones on the earth. Second Samuel 7 and verse 9 as a 686 00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:32,800 conqueror. His name has been divinely 687 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,700 inscribed on the roster of the kings of Egypt, Assyria, Greece, 688 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,400 and Rome when he became king over all Israel. 689 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,000 The first place that he conquered was Jerusalem. 690 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,100 Now he comes to the throne and he is reigning over Judah for 691 00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:51,000 seven years member that we studied about David 47. 692 00:43:51,100 --> 00:43:53,700 Years. But he was reigning over all 693 00:43:53,700 --> 00:43:58,600 Israel for 33 more years or a rain of a total of forty years. 694 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,500 He lived to him to be about the age of 60. 695 00:44:03,300 --> 00:44:05,800 First thing he does though, when he's reigning over all Israel is 696 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,300 goes to the place. The Battleground and conquers 697 00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:12,400 that part of Jerusalem that became also known as the city of 698 00:44:12,700 --> 00:44:21,300 David. As David's War began in 699 00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:24,200 Jerusalem. So did Jesus to Christ 700 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,000 commissioned, his disciples to preach repentance, and remission 701 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,700 of sins among his name, among all nations. 702 00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:33,100 Beginning at Jerusalem, Luke, 24, and 47. 703 00:44:33,300 --> 00:44:36,500 This remarkable story of the spiritual conquest of the city 704 00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:39,400 of the great king is recorded in the book of Acts. 705 00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:42,200 And listen, you know, it's amazing, you know, we've been 706 00:44:42,207 --> 00:44:45,200 studying on Wednesday, how many people were obeying the gospel. 707 00:44:47,300 --> 00:44:49,600 I'm going to the Philippines, Lord willing on the first of 708 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,900 January, and the congregation here has been behind that work 709 00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:55,900 and that's been wonderful for us. 710 00:44:55,900 --> 00:45:00,500 All How many people obey the gospel when we're gone in the 711 00:45:00,508 --> 00:45:02,400 Philippines, spreading the word of God? 712 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,200 And sometimes we look at those great numbers and we think that 713 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:10,300 there's no hope what about us. What About Us? 714 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:17,700 In ad 63. Thirty years after Jesus died on 715 00:45:17,700 --> 00:45:22,500 the cross thereabouts. Paul said, this about the gospel 716 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:29,200 Paul said that the gospel was preached under are all creation 717 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,500 under Heaven, Colossians chapter 1, and verse 23. 718 00:45:32,900 --> 00:45:35,400 You know why? Because they followed the Great 719 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,500 Commission, they went there for and taught or made Disciples of 720 00:45:38,500 --> 00:45:40,600 all Nations. They baptize them in the name of 721 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,100 the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost. 722 00:45:43,100 --> 00:45:45,700 Then they taught them to observe all things whatsoever. 723 00:45:45,700 --> 00:45:49,000 Jesus had commanded them, that's what they did. 724 00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:53,000 They followed the pattern, shall I told me that he was? 725 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:58,500 He mentioned those two disciples on the road to Emmaus on the 726 00:45:58,500 --> 00:46:01,400 morning of the day of the resurrection of Christ. 727 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,100 One of them was Clea piss, the other, we don't know his name, 728 00:46:04,100 --> 00:46:08,500 but they're walking along or talking to Jesus. after Jesus 729 00:46:08,700 --> 00:46:13,900 opens up the scriptures to them with Moses the prophets and the 730 00:46:13,908 --> 00:46:18,600 Psalms They learn about the resurrection of Christ to the 731 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,500 word of God. Before Jesus ever revealed 732 00:46:20,500 --> 00:46:23,100 himself to them. When they got to Emmaus, he 733 00:46:23,100 --> 00:46:25,000 reveals himself to him and Jesus was gone. 734 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,400 You know, the first thing they said, Didn't our hearts burn 735 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,000 within us. When he showed us opened unto 736 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,900 us, the scriptures along the way. 737 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,200 What they do. They immediately got up, they 738 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,800 traveled, seven and three quarters of a mile back to 739 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,600 Jerusalem at. Tell thee, tell those other 740 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:41,900 disciples. What did they do? 741 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,100 They heard the word of God? It was like, Jeremiah it burned 742 00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:46,500 in their heart, they couldn't be. 743 00:46:46,500 --> 00:46:49,100 Still they got up immediately and they shared it with those 744 00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:51,300 other disciples. That's the pattern. 745 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,500 Have it burn in your heart. And go tell others, too. 746 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,800 Well, Jesus Christ will press the battle until all Kings, 747 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,600 shall fall down before him and all nations Shall Serve him. 748 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,800 And like the type, God will make his son's name. 749 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,200 Great his name will endure forever. 750 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:18,700 His name shall be continual as the sun, Psalm 72 and 17 in 751 00:47:18,700 --> 00:47:23,300 conclusion, I'm finished. With the facts that we noticed 752 00:47:23,300 --> 00:47:28,300 before us today, we can see the typical significance of David. 753 00:47:28,900 --> 00:47:32,500 Among all the Old Testament Heroes, there is no person at 754 00:47:32,500 --> 00:47:36,200 all that's comparable to him and character or achievement. 755 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,600 It is only in the New Testament that we find his counterpart, in 756 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,100 the king of kings, and Lord of lords, who is now seated upon, 757 00:47:44,100 --> 00:47:47,800 David's Throne, according to promise, he's in heaven. 758 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:52,800 Now, he's raining.
