Sermon Part 3: The Story of David and Bathsheba: “Oh, the Trove of Treasure That Dwells Within the Truth!”
The “Truth” is never hidden and always reveals lies and deceptions, and works to recover and restore the souls of God’s People who participate in untruths. This is no more evident than in the story of David and Bathsheba. The account shows the harshest realities of the “human condition,” without Jesus. In David’s interactions with Bathsheba, he covets another man's wife, abuses his powerful position, commits adultery, and then tries to cover up his sins with murder of her husband Uriah the Hittite.
But, the Truth comes out and David discovers a well-spring of precious treasure hidden within the Truth. Come with me over the next few weeks and let’s discover and learn about the trove of treasure that abides within the Truth, and take possession of it and let it rule our lives forevermore!
Happy Sunday Saints of the Most High God!
Introduction
The story of David and Bathsheba is one of the most dramatic and well known accounts in the Old Testament, recorded at II Samuel Chapters 11 and 12 and I Kings Chapters 1 and 2. Many Sermons have been preached and taught on it, and the Saints know the story very well. Because of David’s indiscretion with Bathsheba and subsequent murder of her husband Uriah, several Bible scholars and preachers have labeled David as a great king of Israel who was “deeply flawed.” Some have said David was a “complicated” man. I even read one commentary that said David was a “sinner,” and heard one preacher in a sermon call Bathsheba a “whore.”
Listen to the commentary about David again Saints: “A great king who was deeply flawed.” The saying leaves a-kind-of bad taste in your mouth. It makes you focus more on David’s flaws and less on his greatness. It throws cold water on the complement about him and heats up the complaint against him.
Whenever, I read such commentary about King David it saddens me and makes me Holy-Ghost angry because, even today in Christian Circles, many born-again Christians have a tendency of permanently attaching the sin(s) a person commits with the person who committed it. Some Christians are just plain unwilling to let a person go free from past faults and failures, but are quick to absolve themselves of their own wrong doing and call themselves blessed and righteous.
As born-again Christians, when it comes to any Biblical figure, including King David, we should only concern ourselves with what the “Only True God and Jesus Christ” has to say about them. God’s Commentary is all that matters; not man’s. The writer of the Book of Hebrews mentions David among the Old Testament Saints in the Hall of Faith, as a “faithful servant” of God. (Heb.11:32-34) The writer holds-up David as an example of faith that we should study and learn from.
Moreover, in Jesus Christ’s mentions of David, I find no occasion where He proffered a single criticism of past sinful behaviors. In fact, at Matthew 12:3-5, Jesus defended His disciples’ Sabbath practices by recounting David’s actions. He also affirmed His own identity as the “Son of David” when he accepted the pleas of blind men in Matthew 9:27 and Mark 10:47, and on the day of the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem riding on a donkey recorded in Matthew 21:9. Further, Jesus cited the prophecy that the Messiah would be a descendant of David, indicating He was referring to Himself as the fulfillment of the Davidic lineage.
Finally Saints, let us remember that in the Book of the Acts of the Apostles, the Apostle Paul when speaking to the people of Israel described David as “…a man after God’s own heart,” which was in reference to God’s personal testimony about him. (Acts 13:22 & I Sam.13:14)
Given the Only True God’s view of David is one of “righteousness,” what right do we have to associate the sins committed by King David with him? For David was the beloved servant of God. God’s Faithfulness saw to it that David out- lived remembrances of his failures. This may sound strange to many Christians, but in my humble opinion, of all of David’s great accomplishments in the 70-years of his life on earth, the greatest was his “contrite and broken heart” realized after the Truth was revealed about his personal sins of adultery and murder of Uriah. When we are at our weakest moments of human frailty, God’s power is demonstrated and made perfect in us, which leads to spiritual strength and maturity. (II Cor.12:10)
Saints, as I have done throughout my Ministry, I urge the Body of Christ to see all things written in the Holy Bible from God’s Perspective, and not through the lens of the world’s fleshy/carnal thinking and pre-judgment of things. Rest assured that in no way in these Sermons am I condoning the sinful actions of David and Bathsheba. Next week, as we examine the story of David and Bathsheba up-close, we will tell the story without sugar-coating any details. As we examine the story of the couple’s failings, and consequences suffered, I want to impress upon us to view them from God’s Perspective, rather than through our earthly near-sighted and errant lenses. The Apostle Paul wrote at II Corinthians 5:16:
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
Paul was saying in his letter to the Saints at Corinth, that a Christian’s spiritual life in Christ is so transformative that they no longer view people based on worldly criteria, such as social status, race, or other human distinctions, even though they may have known Jesus Christ in His “fleshy” human form before His Resurrection.
Instead, in Christ, we are “new creations,” and our relationships and understanding of others are to be based on our “spiritual identity” in Christ and God’s Perspective. As new creatures in Christ, we understand that the stories of the Old Testament are given to us for our learning and admonishment, that through patience and comfort of the Scriptures we might have hope. (Rom.15:4 & I Cor. 10:11) We have been sanctified in the Truth and called to see and walk and live in Truth. (John 17:17-19) God’s Word is Truth.
As such, we should not just view David’s sinful actions from a performative standpoint, but seek to keep our focus on his heart towards God, as the only True God and Jesus Christ did. For God has declared that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Rom. 3:23) There is none righteous, no not one without the mercy and grace of God applied to our lives. (Rom. 3:10-12) We have been given the Spirit of God, to enable us to see spiritual things that natural people (sinners) cannot see nor know of. (I Cor. 2:11-14) Therefore, we must seek to know David and Bathsheba after the Spirit, (the Words of the Only True God) and not the flesh as some mistakenly do. Saints I declare unto you that David was not flawed, rather he was “favored” by God in all things for all eternity!
David’s Life with God in Proper Context
We spend this Session placing David’s Life with God in proper context. Saints, let’s first understand some very important things about the Only True God. God is the Creator of all things, He is omniscient and knows the complexities and frailties of every human being before they are formed in the womb of the mother. The Psalmist David even wrote that “God knows Mankind before and after the fall of Adam, and his descendants, and is forever mindful of them, and set Himself to give man glory and honor, and dominion over the works of His hands and placed all things under his feet. (Ps.8:4-6)
We are to also know that God is Purposeful, and the Faithful God that keeps “Covenant,” and has mercy with those who love Him, and keep His Commandments to a thousand generations. (Deut. 7:9) Oh Saints, I will not gloss over this. I must make every effort to weave this Truth and engrain it into the conscious of every born-again Christian.
God is the Covenant-Keeping God. Say that with me, “God is the Covenant-Keeping God.” The Only True God wants you to be assured of this Truth: That, (1) The Lord thy God is God, (2) the Lord thy God is faithful, and (3) the Lord thy God keeps Covenant and mercy with them who love him and keep His Commandments to a thousand generations.
Umm, the Lord our God never sleeps nor slumbers, and His eyes search the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose “hearts” are perfect toward Him. (II Chron.16:9) A perfect heart towards God means a wholehearted commitment and unwavering loyalty to God; not sinless perfection, but a complete dedication to loving and obeying God above all else.
As such, if we are to know and understand the Only True God and worship Him in sincerity, then we must accept that God occupies Himself with the condition of a man’s heart towards Him. This is where we will drop anchor and talk about the origin of the relationship between David and the Only True God.
At I Samuel 16, God working through the Prophet Samuel required of him to go to the little town of Bethlehem (the very same birth place of Jesus) to the house of Jesse, to anoint a new king of Israel. The new king would be chosen from among the sons of Jesse to replace King Saul, whom God had rejected. God knew that the new king was among the sons of Jesse who possessed a special heart toward Him. Let’s pick up reading starting from Verses 4-13.
4 And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him.
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these.
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Take note that Jesse had a total of “eight sons.” Even though in the Book of I Chronicles it list only seven. Bible Commentary states this is likely due to the death of one son without offspring before the Chronicle was written, which was a common practice for historical genealogies. Saints, take special note of the number “eight” which in Christianity symbolizes new beginnings, regeneration, restoration, and resurrection.
When God examined the heart of David, He said to Samuel “Arise, anoint him: for this is he.” God was saying this is “My king” whom I have chosen to represent a new beginning for Israel. God had been searching for “a man after his own heart” to serve as the captain over his people Israel, because Saul (the first king of Israel) had not kept the Lord’s Commandments. (I Sam.13:14) God was looking for a “man” who possessed love for Him, who had a deep desire to please Him, that would obey His Word, and that had a willingness to repent and return to Him after mistakes. He was not looking for a man whose heart was identical to God with “perfect obedience,” as this was not possible, given that mankind was in a fallen state due to Adam’s sin. (Rom. 5:12)
Moreover, when God created Adam (Mankind) he did not create him with a heart identical to God’s. The name God gave to the “man” he created was “Adam,” in the Hebrew language conveys the meaning of a “human being” and having “hypocritical” tendencies: one whose actions contradict their stated beliefs, or one who advocates for certain behaviors while failing to practice them themselves. Umm, I think already we have a better understanding of the “human condition,” and maybe even a greater understanding of your own behavior at times. Truthfully, we have all at times said one thing, and found ourselves doing the complete opposite of what we have professed.
In David, God had found a man who had profound love for Him, not just upon his initial calling into Service, but “all the days of his life.” Listen to the words David expressed to God at Psalm 18:1-3:
I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
See Psalm 116:1-2:
I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
Even before approached by Samuel to anoint him, David as a keeper of the sheep, loved God and depended on him for victories when confronted by both a lion and bear that took a sheep from the fold. He told the former king Saul about these feats, and expressed strong faith that God would also give to him the victory over Goliath, the giant warrior of the Philistines. (I Sam.17:34-37)
As God looked upon the heart of David, He saw all of these characteristics and ordered Samuel, in the presence of the house of Jesse, to anoint his head with oil. In David, God saw a man with whom He could Covenant with. (More on this later.)
Anointing David's head with oil symbolized his divine selection by God to be King of Israel, marking the descent of the Holy Spirit upon him. The oil represented God's blessing, empowerment, and presence, a spiritual Truth made tangible. This act also carried a practical connotation from shepherding, where oil protected sheep from insects and wounds, and symbolized in spiritual matters God's personal care and protection for David. Yes, the Anointing would shield David from wounds; even self-inflicted wounds. Throughout David’s life God cared for and protected him. For later, David would write in a Psalm, the Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. (Ps. 23:1)
The Scripture says that after Samuel anointed David, “the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.” (I Sam. 16:13) The Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth, was with David all the days of his life. Yes, even when David sinned against God and the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth hovered over and remained with him. Old Testament Saints were not “indwelt” for eternity by the Spirit, as we are, as New Testament believers. Rather, the Holy Ghost was temporarily upon David and others in the Old Testament to work with them to complete supernatural God-ordained tasks while alive on earth, in accordance with divine Will of God.
Let me clarify before we get into David’s repentance of sin next week, that his prayer at Psalm 51:11-12 to God, was a plea for “restoration of the joy and fellowship of His salvation,” not a loss of salvation itself! Nowhere in Scripture does it say that God took His Spirit away from David as He did with Saul. (I Sam.16:1&14) Remember the number “8.” In God’s omniscience, he knew the choice of Jesse’s youngest son David as His king would involve acts of sin, and the need for “restoration.”
The Holy Scriptures tell us much about the accomplishments of David as God’s anointed. With the help and might of the Holy Ghost upon Him, David exhibited his love and trust in God with the defeat of Goliath, using a single stone taken from his pouch and sling shot. During the confrontation, Goliath had spewed curses and threatening’s against Israel and God. But, listen to the faith in God expressed by David to Goliath, recorded at I Samuel 17:45-47.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.
Time will not permit me to detail all of the marvelous accomplishments of David in this session. But let me give a summary resume of the work of David, accomplished with the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth upon him.
David was formally made King of Israel at age 30 and reigned 33-years over Israel and Judah. (II Samuel 5:1-4). As Israel’s second king, David had many political and military accomplishments, which resulted in the unification of the Kingdom of Israel.
David created a unified state from disparate tribes and territories, making Israel a significant regional power. He conquered Jerusalem; capturing the city of Jerusalem from the Jebusites and established it as the political and religious center of his new kingdom. He decisively defeated the Philistines and expanded his kingdom’s territory. David’s military victories over the Philistines were so thorough that they never again posed a serious threat to Israel’s security. Further, He conquered and annexed territories, becoming the overlord of many small kingdoms and peoples bordering Israel, like the Moabites, Arameans, and Edomites.
As a renowned psalmists, poet, and skillful musician inspired by the Only True God, David authored 73 of the 150 psalms in the Bible. David is also remembered for his religious devotion to God as He joyfully brought the sacred Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. Thereby further solidifying the city’s religious importance.
The significance of the Ark of the Covenant lies in its role as a sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments, a symbol of God’s tangible Presence and Covenant relationship with the Israelites, and a conduit for His voice to Moses. Housed within the chest was Aaron’s budding rod and a pot of manna, and its mercy seat was placed where the High Priest made atonement
for the nation’s sins. The Ark served as a palladium in war, a symbol of divine protection, and a focal point of worship, marking the physical locus of God’s holiness on earth.
In one of the most vociferous displays of worship recorded in the Bible, King David danced before the Lord with all his might. (II Sam. 6:14) He set aside his royal robes and was wearing a linen ephod. Much to the displeasure of his first wife Michal who upbraided him for his lack of decorum; or was this really her true beef with David? (More on this next week.)
David was undeterred by her criticism. In fact, he double-down, telling her that it was the Lord he was dancing before, and he was quite willing to abase himself in the Lord’s Presence. (II Sam. 6:21-22) David unabashedly from his heart expressed his adoration of God through music, his writings, and his public displays.
Additionally, it was David’s desire to build a permanent Temple in Jerusalem for God, a task ultimately given to and completed by his son Solomon. He is honored as an ideal king, and key figure in both Jewish and Christian theology as the forefather of the Messiah, which Jesus Christ fulfilled. Many of the events in the life of David have been captured in Art, Literature, and Theater and revered throughout generations.
The Davidic Covenant Marked David for Great Satanic Attack
Now, I want to close this Session, with the spiritual nexus (the battle ground of good and evil) which led to the sins of King David with Bathsheba, and consequential family discourse. The Covenant God established with David, known as the Davidic Covenant, made him a prime target of Satan to attempt to seek out to dismantle and destroy the relationship between David and God, as well as the life of David and the royal family. When we study the incident with David and Bathsheba, think about the Davidic Covenant.
As I preached before in the Series of the “Story of Noah,” whomever God makes Covenant with, that person always becomes the target of Satan to attack them within the specific “tenants” (Promises/Commandments) of the Covenant. However, next week, we will see how the Only True God uses the “Truth” to release hidden treasure therein, to help David overcome his sins and bring forth restoration to David. This precious treasure stored in the Truth provides the way for all of God’s people to be delivered from the clutches of iniquity and realize unabated victory over all of the works of evil. Glory be to God for the things He has done!
The Davidic Covenant refers to God’s Promises to David through Nathan the Prophet and is found in II Samuel 7 and later summarized in I Chronicles 17:11-14 and II Chronicles 6:16. As Nathan spoke the precious Promises, God opened the spiritual eyes of David to see them in visions. Remember that God is forever Faithful, and keeps Covenant and shows mercy on those who love Him and keep His Commandments to a thousand generations.
The Davidic Covenant is an “unconditional” Covenant made between God and David through which God Promises David and Israel that the Messiah (Jesus Christ) would come from the lineage of David and the tribe of Judah and would establish a kingdom that would endure forever. The Davidic Covenant is unconditional because God does not place any conditions of obedience upon its fulfillment. The surety of the Promises made rests solely on God’s faithfulness, and does not depend at all on David’s or Israel’s obedience.
The Davidic Covenant centers on several key Promises that are made to David. First, God reaffirms the Promise of the land that He made in the first two Covenants with Israel (the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants). This Promise is seen in II Samuel 7:10:
Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime.
God then Promises that David’s son will succeed him as King of Israel and that this son (Solomon) would build the Temple. This Promise is seen in II Samuel 7:12-13:
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
Next, in Verses 14-15, God Promises David that his son, the king, will be His son, and receive correction and everlasting mercy if he commits iniquity.
I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
But then, the Promise continues and expands: “I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever” (V.13), and “Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.” (V.16).
What began as a Promise that David’s son Solomon would be blessed and build the Temple turns into something different—the Promise of an everlasting Kingdom. Another Son of David would “rule” forever and build a lasting House. This is a reference to the Messiah, Jesus Christ, called the Son of David in Matthew 21:9.
The Promise that David’s “house,” “kingdom,” and “throne” will be established forever is significant because it shows that the Messiah will come from the lineage of David and that He will establish a kingdom from which He will reign and David would have his part. The Covenant is summarized by the words “house,” promising a dynasty in the lineage of David; “kingdom,” referring to a people who are governed by a king; “throne,” emphasizing the authority of the king’s rule; and “forever,” emphasizing the eternal and unconditional nature of this Promise to David and Israel.
According to all these Promises and Visions, Nathan spoke into the heart of David, and by faith, he fully received them as a benediction. God had chosen “a man after His own heart,” so that He might “pour-out from His Heart, into the heart of David!” Examine II Samuel 7:18-29, as David sits and talks with God about the Promises told to him by Nathan.
18 Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?
20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.
21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.
25 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
26 And let thy name be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
28 And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
Finally, I make a special note to tell every born-again Christian that may not know or has forgotten, God Promised David that when Jesus Christ establishes His Kingdom on earth during the Millennial reign, that David will also reign as “king” under Jesus Christ. Did you notice in Verses 25-26 what David declared and affirmed concerning “His House.”
25 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it forever, and do as thou hast said.
26 And let thy name be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
David reigning as King of Israel in the Millennium is also affirmed in other Old-Testament Scriptures. In Jeremiah 30:9, Jeremiah states: But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. Here Jeremiah says “David their king,” Christ has never ruled as king of Israel and will not do so until He comes again to re-establish the throne and kingdom of David, and to rule over him and Israel. (Is. 9:6-7, Luke 1:32-33, Acts 16:13-18, & Rev.11:15). King David is the only person Jews would understand as fulfilling this prediction. Also, Jeremiah says that God will “raise up” David unto them to rule; meaning at the beginning of the Millennium, along with the Old Testament Saints, David will be “resurrected” and reign with Jesus in the Kingdom.
Then Ezekiel 34:23-24 states:
And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.
Here, and in other Scriptures, God calls David “my servant David.” But not once in Scripture is Jesus Christ called by God “my servant David.” So it is clear here that King David is the one predicted to be raised up as the shepherd of Israel under the Messiah, just as the Apostles are to serve as shepherds over the 12 tribes, one Apostle for each tribe under the Messiah. (Matt.19:27-28, Luke 22:30) Further, we see in Verse 24, Ezekiel states, “My servant David will be a prince among them.” Jesus Christ will be King of kings, and Lord of lords over all, and not under any. David will be Israel’s prince forever.
At Hosea 3:5, the Prophet predicted:
Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.
The Holy Scriptures never called Jesus “David,” but always by the nomenclatures the “son of David,” (Ref. Matt.1:1, 9:27, 12:23, & 15:22) “David’s Lord,” (Matt. 22:45) “the Seed of David,” (Rom. 1:3 & II Tim. 2:8) “the root of David,” (Rev.5:5) “or the root and offspring of David.” (Rev. 22:16) As stated before, Jesus Christ is the King of kings. (Rev.19:16)
Humanly speaking, Jesus is from the Davidic dynasty, but in power, in glory, in righteousness, and in every other way. The government will be on His shoulders. (Is. 9:6) The Old and New Testaments reveal that the future “King” during the Millennium and all eternity is Jesus Christ, the Almighty and Him alone. (Jer. 23:5, Is. 9:7 & 33:22, Rev. 17:14; I Tim. 6:15)
So Saints, clearly from the Davidic Covenant, no one can argue that King David is not highly favored for all eternity in the sight of the Only True God. According to the Scriptures, David will hold an exalted position in Christ’s Kingdom. The sins he committed with Bathsheba and against all others, are no more! King David pinned Psalm 103:12: As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Not only for David, but for all those who love and trust in the Only True God and Jesus Christ too.
Furthermore, all who love and trust in God in Christ Jesus will have their rule in the Kingdom; believers will rule the nations and judge the world. (Rev. 2:26-27, 20:4 & I Cor. 6:2) Some believers having more authority, according to how they handle the responsibilities God has given them in this present age. (Luke 19:17)
So there we have it Saints, the Davidic Covenant established between God and David. Satan would center his attack on David’s life through the tenant Covenant of Promise concerning God’s blessings pronounced upon the “House of David.” King David would need to be sober and vigilant because the adversary the devil prowls around like a lion seeking whom he may devour would come to destroy his “House.” (I Pet. 5:8) Satan seeks to tell every man a lie and tempt him to believe it, and thereby conceive the lie to commit sin against God. Let us therefore remain vigilant over our own homes to remain steadfast in keeping and obeying the Word of the Only True God and Jesus Christ. Amen for the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Lord.
