THE GOSPEL—IN THE KINGS “There are, as we have seen, two everlasting covenants of promise upon which the Kingdom of God is based— the one made with Abraham, and the other with David. The former gives the land of Canaan to their Seed forever; the latter, the kingdom and throne established upon it…” Elpis Israel, pg 304 “David’s and Solomon’s reigns were typical, or representative, of Christ’s reign”—Elpis Israel, pg 305 “The reader, then, will perceive from this exposition that the Kingdom of God must be studied in two periods of its existence—in the thousand years of the existence past, and in the thousand years of the Age to Come”— Elpis Israel, pg 307 (Exo 19: 6) The Kingdom of the past is the Key to understand the
The Things of the Kingdom 1 Chr 28: 5 “And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons, ) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel” Israel 2 Ch 13: 8 “And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD IN THE HAND OF THE SONS OF DAVID…” 2 Ch 9: 8 “Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king throne for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice” them Israel were Yahweh’s “Kingdom” and the one who assumed the throne was His representative. Thus,
The Name of Jesus Christ 1 Ch 29: 23 “Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and father all Israel obeyed him” This was the promise of the David Covenant typically fulfilled. Of course, the sure application is to Christ (Luke 1: 30 -35; Acts 2: 29 -35) The Lord refers to both man as applicable to himself — Mat 12: 1 -4 “Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat…” Mat 12: 42 “The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the
1 Ch 22: 6 -10 “Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel. And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God: But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, wars because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. Behold, A SON SHALL BE BORN TO THEE, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and about I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days. He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I WILL BE HIS FATHER; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever” Two Advents: A Man of War, Shed Blood—A Man of Peace, Rest
THE GOSPEL: THE KINGDOM AND THE KING DAVID—a man of great adversity; within and without. Saul, Absolom, Joab—Philistines, Amalek, Moabites… • Jerusalem in bloodshed and controversy SOLOMON—a man of peace and rest; enemies at peace, friendly nations help build the Temple • Jerusalem in peace, nations flow unto it Peace in Solomon’s reign only possible because of David’s reign 1 Ch 22: 14 “Behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of GOLD, and a thousand talents of SILVER; and GOLD SILVER of BRASS and IRON without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared” (Dan
David—Man of War, Shed Blood: Christ 1 st Advent We are introduced to David, like Joshua, as a man of war “And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the Elah battle in array against the Philistines. . . And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits Goliath and a span” 1 Sam 17: 2 -4 Elah—a strong tree. This is where the Lord destroyed Elah Sin. Champion—the one who has defeated every man Champion opposing him Goliah—to make naked, uncover. Reps. sin exposed Goliah Six Cubits—number of flesh, man. This number is Cubits associated with Goliath: Name appears 6 times in
“The Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them…And he them had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail…a target of brass between mail his shoulders…his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went iron before him” 1 Sam 17: 3 -5 -7 Brass/Iron—political and religious corruption (Dan 2) Brass/Iron Mountain—two opposing Kingdoms and systems (Dan Mountain 2). Valley—where sin is destroyed. Armageddon (Rev 16) Valley The Gospel—there can be no Kingdom of God; the Kingdom of Israel restored (Acts 1: 7), unless Yahweh provided a man to destroy the Champion, Sin!
“(Goliath) stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them…choose you a man for you, and let you him come down to me. If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I servants prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us” 1 Sam 17: 8 -9 servants us The man capable of “prevailing” over Sin’s champion was not to be found among Saul’s army! The man who would release Israel for servitude of Sin was a man specially provided by Yahweh— “David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem- judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons…And David was the youngest…David went and sons youngest returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem” 1 Sam 17: 12 -15 Bethlehem
Bethlehem—birthplace of the Lord Jesus Christ Eight—number of circumcision, cutting off the flesh Father’s Sheep—Yahweh’s people (Eze 34) “Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren…and look brethren how thy brethren fare” 1 Sam 17: 17 -18 fare The Lord Jesus Christ was sent by the Father for the benefit of his brethren, who could not overcome the giant! John 3: 16; Mat 1: 21. Thus, the Lord, sharing our nature, entered into the same battle as his brethren. He was specifically sent by his Father (Heb 2: 9 -10) Heb 4: 15 “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” sin
“And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid” 1 Sam 17: 23 -24 him The mightiest men of Saul’s army could not overcome Goliath. Abraham, Noah, Paul, Job… “all have sinned…” (Rom 3: 23): except the shepherd sent by his father! The Lord alone “did not sin” (1 Pet 2: 22; 2 Cor 5: 21). who this, Jesus was rewarded— “The man For killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel” 1 Sam 17: 25 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him…” Phi 2: 9
“And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and sheep took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied them armies of the living God” 1 Sam 17: 34 -36 The servant—son who gives his life for the father’s sheep is the epitome of the Atonement: servitude to God and his brethren: To love Yahweh with all thy heart, soul, mind and strength; and to love thy neighbour as thyself “there is none other commandment greater than these” Mk 12: 30 -31
“And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him head with a coat of mail. And David girded his sword upon mail his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him” 1 Sam 17: 38 -39 him The Lord neither experienced fleshly thinking—brass upon his head—nor fleshly actions to try to overcome the impulses of sin’s flesh. Though he shared our nature, Jesus Christ: “ceased from sin”— 1 Pet 4: 1 “knew no sin”— 2 Cor 5: 21 “put away sin by the sacrifice of himself”—Heb 9: 26 “temped like as we are, yet without sin”—Heb 2: 14
“And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine” 1 Sam 17: 40 Five Smooth Stones—the Law, Pentateuch, engraven Stones in Stone Shepherd’s bag—margin “vessel. ” Reps. those bag enlightened “We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the vessels excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us”— 2 Cor 4: 7 As recorded in the temptation in the Wilderness, the Lord drew from the Law to refute the suggestions of the Diabolos and Adversary (political and religious):
“David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, forehead that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon forehead his face to the earth…David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith” 1 Sam 17: 49 therewith The supreme battle is in the mind. It was the “thinking of the flesh” that never prevailed over the Lord Jesus Christ— “the carnal mind is enmity against God”—Rom 8: 7 “for out took the head of the Philistine, and brought it “David of the heart proceed evil thoughts”—Mat 15: 19 Philistine to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent” v. 54 • Jerusalem—the ultimate destruction of Sin in the Flesh!
“And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and arose shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come Philistines to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron” 1 Sam 17: 52 Followers of Christ emboldened by His victory over Sin— 1 Co 15: 13 -15 “But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not” This is our Hope and Confidence: Acts 24: 15; Col 3: 20 -
THE ATONEMENT: CHRIST NOT JUST TO BE ADMIRED, BUTPhilistines had yet war again with “Moreover the TO BE FOLLOWED Israel…These four were BORN TO THE GIANT in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants” 2 Sam 21: 15, 21 (HENCE THE 5 servants STONES) Goliath and four other “sons of the giant” were slain by David and His Servants. What Christ did, we must also do in our lives: slay the “strong man. ” Saints are buried “with him” in baptism— “And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts”—Gal 5: 24 Of course the Lord called the “son of David, ” and numerous Psalms of David are quoted in direct application to the Lord. David is the standard by which all Kings were measured: walk, perfect heart,
AMALEK & SIN: KINGDOM OF GOD VS KINGDOM OFAmalekites called “the sinners the Amalekites”— • SIN • • 1 Sam 15: 18 Amalek attacked Israel after baptism in the Red Sea —Exo 17: 8 Amalek captured the “feeble, faint, weary”—Deu 25: 17 -19 Amalek was defeated by Joshua’s “sword”—Exo 17: 13 Amalek’s defeat written “for a memorial in a book and rehearsed in the ears of Joshua”—Exo 17: 14 Yahweh determined war with Amalek “from generation to generation”—Exo 17: 16 Yahweh commanded Saul to “utterly destroy” Amalek”— 1 Sam 15: 3 Saul “took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive”—
“And when he looked on Amalek, HE TOOK UP HIS PARABLE, and said, Amalek was the first of the PARABLE nations (mg. “that warred with Israel”); but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever” Num 24: 20 ever KJV translates Num 24: 7 “Agag. ” Septuagint translates it “Gog”! Est 3: 1 “Haman…the Agagite. ” Eze 39: 11 -15 “Hamon. Gog”! How Yahweh’s Anointed Gets the King’s Crown The means by which David obtains the crown and kingship from Saul is miraculous, to say the least. However, the allegory related to this historic event only has significant meaning for those who understand the Gospel and the principles of the Atonement. These astonishing events, again, show that doctrine is
“And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites day had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any… captives but carried them away…And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail captives the wife of Nabal the Carmelite” 1 Sam 30: 1 -2, 5 As noted, Amalek represents “sin” (1 Sam 15: 18) The two wives rep. Jew and Gentile, both “under sin” (Rom 3: 9) “Captive” reps. being enslaved to “sin” and “death” (2 Tim 2: 24 -3: 7) • These women represent the saints—feminine, the ecclesia—in need of a Savior to redeem them from
“David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him…David encouraged himself in the LORD his God… And David enquired at the LORD, saying, God Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all” 1 Sam 30: 5 all 7 Like Christ, all men forsook David. He had only God. The Lord was strengthened by His Father and Assured Victory. Yahweh made Jesus “of quick understanding” (Isa 11: 1 -5; John 3: 34 -35); he was “full of the Holy Spirit” (Luke 4: 1 -2); and the Hand of God “was upon him” (Psa 80: 17). The Lord was assured exaltation for his perfect obedience, even unto death (Phi 2: 8 -9). Because he willing laid down his life (John 10: 17 -18), it was not
“And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water; And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had him eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights” 1 Sam 30: 11 -12 nights Egyptian reps. the natural man, “the body of sin” destroyed in baptism (Rom 6: 6; 1 Cor 10: 1 -2). The “three days and three nights” and revival in “spirit” is obviously typical of Christ. This emphasizes that Jesus shared our nature; partook of “flesh and blood” (Heb 2: 14 -17); bare “in the body of his flesh” (Col 1: 21 -22) “the likeness of sinful flesh” (Rom 8: 2). And was “crucified through
“And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left Amalekite me, because three days agone I fell sick” 1 Sam 30: 13 sick Though related to sin by his very nature (Rom 1: 3 -4; Job 25: 4; Psa 51: 5), the Lord destroyed “him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” (Heb 2: 14)—SIN PERSONIFIED, AS IS AMALEK. “Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him”—Rom 6: 9 him “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the out earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die” John 12: 31 -33 die “For the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in cometh
“And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this master company” 1 Sam 17: 49 The resurrection of Christ after 3 days meant he would never again experience sin’s flesh, and therefore sin and death: “For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he once liveth, he liveth unto God” Rom 6: 10 “The word sin is used in two principal acceptations in the Scripture. It signifies in the first place, “the transgression of the Law”; and in the next, it represents that physical principle of the animal nature…Sin, I say, is a synonym for human nature”—
“(Jesus) but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin”—Heb 4: 15 sin “He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin”— sin 2 Cor 5: 21 • “Sin could not have been condemned in the body of Jesus if it had not existed there. ”—Elpis Israel, pg 127 “As the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death same he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; AND DELIVER THEM WHO THROUGH FEAR OF DEATH WERE ALL THEIR LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Where-fore in all things it behoved him TO Abraham BE MADE LIKE UNTO HIS BRETHREN, that he might
“And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day…And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives” 1 Sam 30: 17 -18 wives After he himself revived from “three days and three nights” in the grave, the Lord leads his brethren to battle the Amalekites through “darkness. ” The result: Yahweh’s Anointed saves or delivers his two wives. Isa 61: 1 -2 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives…” captives Eph 4: 8 “Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men” captive
SIN DEFEATED: CROWN AND VICTORY GIVEN TO CHRIST “Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag; Amalekites It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a day man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance” 2 Sam 1: 1 -2 Currently, the Lord is at the right hand of the Father (Psa 110), until he returns to rule in the midst of his enemies. Thus, after TWO MILLENNIAL DAYS, following his own resurrection, the Lord will begin his reign. The events that unfold are truly remarkable; but are only spiritually visible to those who understand
“David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead? And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. He said unto me Amalekite again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me…So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that head was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord” 2 Sam 1: 5 -10 lord
THE CROWN reps. a reward of everlasting life for overcoming sin— 2 Ti 4: 8 “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall righteousness give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” Jas 1: 12 “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, life which the Lord hath promised to them that love him” 1 Pe 5: 4 “when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” (1 Cor 9: 25) Rev 2: 10 “Ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life” life Furthermore, this represents the ascension to the
Amalek is connected with Gog and therefore represents Yahweh’s Anointed submitting Israel’s enemy and assuming the throne— Rev 19: 11 -12 “Behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness True he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God” “He answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite …And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died. David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S anointed. ” 2 Sam 1: 13 -16 anointed
“And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah” 2 Sam 2: 4 “Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh…he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah” 2 Sam 5: 1 -5 Judah “Solomon and David were types of the Christ, who was to descend from them after the flesh…Hence, as David reigned several years over Judah before he became the recognized sovereign of the whole nation; it behoves that his Son and Lord reign as King of Judah before he become monarch of all the tribes of Israel and kingdoms of the earth. This typical indication is sustained by the testimony of Zec 12: 7,
NOTICE THE CHRONOLOGY OF THESE EVENTS— the strong hold of Zion: the same is the “David took Zion city of David” 2 Sam 5: 7 “David arose…to bring up from thence the ark of God” God 2 Sam 6: 2 Psa 68; Psa 132—prophecy of future Age The Divine Plan: The initial attempt resulted in Uzzah Plan struck down (v. 7)—failure of priesthood under the Law. Then, after three months in the house of Obed. Edom (v. 10), David as king-priest after Melchisedec bringsit came to pass, when the king sat in his house, “And it to Zion, after six paces (v. 13). and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies; That the king said unto Nathan the enemies prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the cedar ark of God dwelleth within curtains” 2 Sam 7: 1 -2
CHRONOLOGY CONTINUES (KINGDOM EXPANDS)— it came to pass, that David smote the “And after this Philistines, and subdued them…And he smote Moab, Philistines Moab and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground…David smote also Hadadezer…David did Hadadezer dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated OF ALL NATIONS WHICH HE SUBDUED” 2 Sam 8: 1 -11 SUBDUED Study Suggestion: Extracting the Gospel from the Law, Prophets & Psalms—The historic allegory always follows proper chronological order: from verse to verse, chapter to chapter, book to book. There is never a need to manipulate the events to reach a conclusion. The Inspired Word must be allowed to guide us to the intended result. Verse-by-verse
THE GREAT SACRIFICE OF DAVID: 2 SAM 24— 1 CHR 21 “So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men” 1 Chr 21: 14 This event follows the treason of Absalom, when David’s son rose up against him and the majority of Israel followed the rebellious son who appointed himself ruler over Yahweh’s nation. 70—reps the mortality of man • Psa 90: 10 “The days of our years are threescore years and ten” (70 also reps the nations: Luke 10: 1) ten 1, 000—reps the generations of men • Psa 105: 8 “the word which he commanded to a thousand generations” (1 Chr 16: 15) generations The last significant act recorded in the life of David is typical of the Work of the Lord at his first advent;
“David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have sheep they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued” 1 Chr 21: 17 Like the Lord, David refers to his brethren as “sheep, ” and he as the responsible “shepherd” (Heb 13: 20; 1 Pet 2: 25; John 10: 11). “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was iniquities upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY; we have turned ASTRAY every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all…and he was numbered with the all… transgressors”—Isa 53: 5 -6, 12 (NUMBERED: he was
“Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite” 1 Chr 21: 18 Jebusite Yahweh’s Anointed makes a personal sacrifice to take away sin and death from among the people; as a shepherd over his sheep. “The type is before us; the antitype is in Christ. He is the altar, the book of the Law, and the other things that come after”—Law of Moses. (Heb the place of this “Then David said to Ornan, Grant me 13: 10 -13) threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people” 1 Chr 21: 22 people Redemption in Christ likened to purchase price (1 Cor 6: 20; 1 Pet 1: 18 -19)
“And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let thee my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all. And king David said to all Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost” 1 Chr 21: 23 -24 cost The redeemer offers a personal offering, with personal cost and implications. This is a vital element of the Atonement— “The statement that he did these things ‘for us’ has blinded many to the fact that he did them ‘for himself’ first—without which, he could not have done them for us, for it was by doing so for himself that he did them for
“’It was necessary that this man have somewhat also to offer’ (Heb 8: 3). ‘By reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins’ (Heb 5: 3). ‘By his own blood, he obtained eternal redemption’ (for us, is an addition inconsistent with the middle voice of the verb employed, which imports a thing done by one to one’s own self) Heb 9: 12”—Law of Moses, pg 158 “Christ himself was included in the sacrificial work he did ‘for us’…’For himself that it might be for us, ’”—Law of Moses, pg 163 David, as King-Priest, is a representation of the priesthood of Christ “after the order of Melchisedec” (Heb 7: 21). Before he atones for humanity— 70, 000—he first offers on behalf of himself, though never disconnected with those he came to save (Law of Moses, pg 84)
“Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, God and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel. And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set Israel masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God” 1 Chr 22: 1 -3 The historic allegory reveals the result of the Lord’s sacrifice— “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together stone groweth unto AN HOLY TEMPLE IN THE LORD: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit” Eph 2: 19 -22 (Gentiles
“Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan ” 2 Chr 3: 1 The Peace and Reign of Solomon could not have occurred until after the Reign of David—until sin and its effects were removed. “Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat” 1 Kin 1: 1 Clothes—rep. nature; mortal or immortal (2 Cor 5: 1 -3; Clothes Psa 132: 16). In this case, it is connected with a dying man and therefore symbolizes the former. David is typical of the Lord Jesus Christ at his first advent, and the events that unfold within this chapter teach the principles of the Atonement—
“Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her virgin stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat. So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king” 1 Kin 1: 2 -3 Virgin—reps righteous character (Rev 14: 4; 2 Cor 11: 2). Virgin Abishag—means “father of error” (Rom 5: 12 -15) Abishag Both principles are represented in the Lord Jesus Christ; a man who shared Adamic Nature, yet undefiled in character. “Sinful flesh being the hereditary nature of the Lord Jesus, he was a fit and proper sacrifice for sin; especially as he was himself ‘innocent of the great
“Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, himself saying, I WILL BE KING: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him” 1 Kin 1: 5 An important event. If David had not arisen from his death bed, the question of the appointed son would not have been settled — “Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel”— 2 Tim 2: 8 “Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son flesh of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead”—Rom 1: 3 -4 dead “Of all my sons, for the LORD hath given me many sons, He hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the
“Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not? ” 1 Kin 1: 11 Nathan—the prophet and Bathsheba—daughter of the Nathan Bathsheba Oath. According to PROPHETIC word & the OATH: David’s Son appointed Act 2: 30 -35 “Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of him his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, Christ neither his flesh did see corruption…For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
By remembrance of the prophetic Oath—Nathan and Bethsheba—David revives to appoint Solomon to sit upon His Throne— “David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king. And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress, Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day” 1 Kin 1: 28 -30 As the “seed of the woman” and “seed of David, ” Solomon, whose names means Peace, is appointed King over Israel. Likewise, the Lord Jesus Christ was established as the true seed of David through the resurrection of the dead, and future King of Israel.
“And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the Solomon trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon. And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them” 1 Kin 1: 39 -40 IMPORTANT: David’s Son was appointed King by IMPORTANT Yahweh through the figurative resurrection. In fact, David revived and lived on after the anointing of Solomon. The two were joint rulers: Solomon was not appointed King after David’s death—like subsequent kings—but upon is typical resurrection. Thus, the TWO MEN represent ONE MAN: the Lord Jesus Christ, in his two advents!
DAVID’S SON: FIRSTBORN BY APPOINTMENT: APPOINTMENT The position of Firstborn could be removed through misconduct and given to another by the Father. This was true with Solomon— 1 Ch 26: 10 “Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief; )” chief 1 Ch 5: 1 “The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph” Joseph Psa 89: 27 -36 “I will make him my firstborn, higher than firstborn the kings of the earth….

A wise man will hear, and discretion will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings” The two wisest men of Scripture taught by parables “And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all…And he spake three thousand proverbs” 1 Kin 4: 30 -32

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn” Zec firstborn 12: 9 -10 The “mourning” over the “only son” is the emotion represented in the restoration of the Jews in the Age to Come. “ALL ISRAEL heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment” 1 Kin 3: 28
