00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.899
 I think this is our fifth message in this series.

00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:10.419
 We started off with David's relationship with God and how unique and special that was.

00:00:10.419 --> 00:00:14.400
 and then David's life and relationship with King Saul.

00:00:15.019 --> 00:00:20.300
 And we went on to Goliath in the battle against evil in Goliath.

00:00:21.019 --> 00:00:23.140
 And then Jonathan was last week.

00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.260
 And so this week, kind of moving chronologically,

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:29.900
 today we're talking about David the king.

00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:31.960
 David the king.

00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:36.079
 And I hope this has been a beneficial series to you.

00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.820
 I love historical narrative and stories.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:45.000
 So this is always fun for me, the privilege to preach on stuff like this.

00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:48.920
 But as a whole, though, like when you're trying to cover a lot of different chapters,

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:54.179
 you're trying to choose out selections of the book to actually go over.

00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.019
 And that is kind of hard and daunting sometimes.

00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:02.080
 And so I hope that the sections that I pick are beneficial because we're covering a lot of ground.

00:01:02.180 --> 00:01:07.740
 That's what we do when we do series versus a first by verse exposition of a book.

00:01:07.739 --> 00:01:19.280
 But by way of just introduction, last week we ended with the death of King Saul and his son Jonathan by the hand of the Philistines.

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:29.320
 And after this happened, the tribe of Judah, David's tribe, I guess you could say seceded and sort of anointed David as their king.

00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:31.379
 That's in chapter 2 in 2 Samuel.

00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.719
 We'll be in 2 Samuel today.

00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:39.719
 And after all, David was the one that the prophet and judge Samuel anointed.

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:41.939
 So they made him the king.

00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:49.299
 However, as history would have it, the house of Israel had a surviving son of Saul, Ish-bosheth.

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.819
 And he was made king over the rest of the nation, Israel.

00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:55.219
 They made him the king.

00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.319
 He made the bid for to be the king.

00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:06.479
 So what happens is a nasty civil war breaks out between the surviving son of Saul, the house of Saul, versus the house of David.

00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:10.079
 And you see some nasty battles through here.

00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.740
 The Battle of Gibbon where Joab and Abner meet.

00:02:14.579 --> 00:02:21.879
 And it's a nasty battle resulting in David and his men being victorious in Joab.

00:02:21.939 --> 00:02:23.620
 You see the appearance of Joab here.

00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:30.920
 And so what happens later is there's friction between Ish-bosheth and Abner, his commander.

00:02:31.700 --> 00:02:36.480
 And after that, Abner goes to David and he says, hey, let's just resolve all this peacefully.

00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:39.500
 I think that God has made you the king.

00:02:39.580 --> 00:02:41.340
 Let's resolve all things peacefully.

00:02:42.140 --> 00:02:44.000
 But it caused a problem.

00:02:44.140 --> 00:02:46.280
 And Joab does not share that hope.

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.599
 He actually seeks revenge on Abner for the killing of his brother.

00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.519
 So Joab has Abner brought to him.

00:02:54.019 --> 00:02:58.659
 This is the commander of the two armies, David's army and Ish-bosheth's army.

00:02:59.579 --> 00:03:01.340
 And Joab actually kills him.

00:03:02.079 --> 00:03:04.560
 This is in chapter 3, verse 22 through 39.

00:03:05.340 --> 00:03:09.719
 But the writer goes way out of his way, probably Samuel that wrote this,

00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.280
 goes out of his way to make sure that we understand that David was innocent of this blood.

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.180
 And he actually harshly rebukes Joab for such treatment.

00:03:20.259 --> 00:03:25.900
 Shortly after Abner's death, though, Ish-bosheth seems to give up hope that he will ever be king.

00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:36.120
 And two of his remaining captains sinfully scheme to assassinate the deposed king, the remaining son of Saul.

00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:44.599
 So they actually cut off his head, take it to David, hoping that David will be pleased, hoping that David will give them a reward.

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.759
 Very much to the contrary, David is not happy with their move.

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.580
 He's not amused at all by this treacherous gesture.

00:03:53.780 --> 00:04:02.000
 And instead of giving a reward, he is furious that one of Saul's sons has been so mistreated by his own men.

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:09.699
 And in such a dishonorable, despicable way, no one of royalty deserves to be treated this way, this treacherous act.

00:04:10.300 --> 00:04:13.740
 And so he has the two killers executed and their hands and feet cut off.

00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.920
 So, bad idea.

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:19.720
 So that was the civil war.

00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:25.339
 So after this, we see that the nation comes together and they anoint David as the king.

00:04:25.339 --> 00:04:28.000
 So this will be our first text today.

00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:35.419
 If you look over at 2 Samuel, chapter 5, we'll look at verses 1 through 5.

00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:37.779
 But this gets us to point 1.

00:04:37.859 --> 00:04:40.339
 We have, I think, four points today.

00:04:40.459 --> 00:04:47.959
 But point 1 in our story is the king is anointed over a united Israel.

00:04:48.659 --> 00:04:51.439
 The king is anointed over a united Israel.

00:04:51.859 --> 00:04:53.699
 Chapter 5, verse 1, it says,

00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:57.319
 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said,

00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:01.500
 Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

00:05:01.979 --> 00:05:08.379
 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel.

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.139
 And the Lord said to you,

00:05:10.219 --> 00:05:15.439
 You shall be a shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be a prince over Israel.

00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:18.919
 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron.

00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.280
 And King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord.

00:05:24.020 --> 00:05:26.500
 And they anointed David king over Israel.

00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.240
 David was 30 years old when he began to reign.

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.759
 And he reigned for 40 years.

00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.060
 At Hebron, he reigned over Judah seven years and six months.

00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:42.879
 And at Jerusalem, he reigned over all Israel and Judah 33 years.

00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.839
 So that's one of our key texts we'll look at.

00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.459
 But we see here the anointed king, the fulfillment of God's promise.

00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.839
 Israel and Judah come together, and they make David their undoubted king.

00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:03.980
 With no candidate left from the house of Saul, David is actually able to bring them under his own rule.

00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.060
 They unite under the anointed hero, David, as their king.

00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:13.620
 So sadly, on many occasions, the Israelites would shed blood of fellow Israelites.

00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:20.620
 But again, the writer of 2 Samuel goes out of his way to say that David was innocent in all these things.

00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:24.800
 And God actually says in Psalm 89, verse 20,

00:06:25.779 --> 00:06:26.240
 David says,

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.199
 I have found David my servant.

00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.879
 With my holy oil I have anointed him,

00:06:34.259 --> 00:06:36.879
 so that my hand shall be established with him.

00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.439
 My arm also shall strengthen him.

00:06:41.340 --> 00:06:43.579
 It's just a reminder here by this psalm

00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:47.639
 that why did David love God so much,

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.340
 and why was David anointed king?

00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:53.500
 Because God loved David so much out of his grace.

00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:56.220
 He chose to make him the king out of his grace.

00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.100
 David loved him because he first loved David.

00:07:00.660 --> 00:07:03.319
 So he brings all the tribes together and unites them.

00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.000
 There's this picture in 1 Chronicles, chapter 12,

00:07:07.699 --> 00:07:10.740
 where you can see a bigger picture of this if you'd like to read more.

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:16.740
 But it mentions that all the men of war from each tribe came at this coronation,

00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:17.779
 at this anointing.

00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:20.800
 It says in 1 Chronicles 12, 38,

00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.360
 all these men of war, a raid and battle order,

00:07:24.540 --> 00:07:29.420
 came to Hebron with a whole heart to make David king over all Israel.

00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:35.500
 Likewise, all the rest of Israel were of a single mind to make David the king.

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:38.580
 And so this is a huge deal,

00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:41.139
 uniting all the tribes of Israel,

00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.259
 all the sons of Jacob together.

00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:46.360
 And so, furthermore,

00:07:46.719 --> 00:07:48.159
 right after this,

00:07:48.699 --> 00:07:51.079
 we see that David makes an unprecedented move.

00:07:51.159 --> 00:07:55.539
 He chooses to make Jerusalem the capital,

00:07:55.819 --> 00:07:56.719
 I guess you could say,

00:07:56.779 --> 00:07:57.439
 of the nation,

00:07:57.539 --> 00:08:01.259
 the center of the political and spiritual life of the nation.

00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:03.120
 This had never happened before.

00:08:03.219 --> 00:08:05.579
 They've been sort of a loose confederation of tribes.

00:08:06.039 --> 00:08:09.459
 So, in a desire to further bring them together as one nation,

00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:13.199
 he sets his eye on the Jebusite city of Jerusalem.

00:08:14.259 --> 00:08:16.539
 And that's who's occupying it,

00:08:16.620 --> 00:08:17.539
 but no problem.

00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.379
 David and some of his elite soldiers climb up the watershed,

00:08:21.599 --> 00:08:23.000
 which I understand is still there today.

00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:23.819
 You can see this,

00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.319
 where he and his men climbed in and got into the city.

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:29.740
 And they took the city.

00:08:30.219 --> 00:08:31.679
 They conquered the Jebusites.

00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.179
 It actually says in chapter 5,

00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:34.840
 just a selection for you,

00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:36.019
 verse 9,

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:37.780
 David lived in the stronghold

00:08:37.780 --> 00:08:39.660
 and called it the city of David.

00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.800
 And David became greater and greater,

00:08:42.920 --> 00:08:43.639
 for the Lord,

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:45.160
 the God of hosts,

00:08:45.220 --> 00:08:46.120
 was with him.

00:08:47.060 --> 00:08:47.759
 Verse 12,

00:08:47.860 --> 00:08:51.820
 And David knew that the Lord had established him king over Israel,

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.120
 and that he had exalted his kingdom

00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.180
 for the sake of his people Israel.

00:08:57.100 --> 00:08:59.560
 And so he made Jerusalem the capital.

00:08:59.560 --> 00:09:01.160
 He renamed it the city of David.

00:09:01.300 --> 00:09:04.560
 It served as the capital for a united Israel.

00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:06.700
 He builds his palace there.

00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:08.940
 He has kingship over them.

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:10.460
 And this is a big deal,

00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:13.680
 because Jerusalem was sort of on the boundary

00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:16.600
 between the tribal land of Judah and Benjamin.

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.080
 It better suited symbolically and geographically

00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:21.580
 to actually be the capital,

00:09:22.180 --> 00:09:23.320
 as opposed to Hebron,

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.800
 which is in the middle of Judah.

00:09:25.160 --> 00:09:26.759
 So sort of as a uniting thing,

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.620
 he puts it right on the boundary of these two powerful tribes.

00:09:31.540 --> 00:09:33.320
 And so going on from there,

00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.460
 we see in this same chapter,

00:09:36.660 --> 00:09:37.720
 next chapter, sorry,

00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:41.760
 that David longs to bring the ark of God

00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:44.260
 to Jerusalem, his new city.

00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:48.720
 And so we see that instead of transporting the ark

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.560
 in accordance with the Levitical law,

00:09:50.980 --> 00:09:54.040
 which said that only priests could carry the ark

00:09:54.040 --> 00:09:56.160
 and carry it on poles,

00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.000
 for some reason they grabbed a cart

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.439
 and tried to pull it and bring it into the city on a cart.

00:10:03.100 --> 00:10:05.100
 And as we know, that's just a bad idea.

00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:06.939
 It sort of leans over and

00:10:06.939 --> 00:10:10.000
 Uzziah, wishing to steady it,

00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:11.439
 reaches out and touches it.

00:10:12.079 --> 00:10:14.439
 And the Lord kills him on the spot

00:10:14.439 --> 00:10:15.839
 for touching the ark.

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.440
 So that may cause us to recoil today.

00:10:20.420 --> 00:10:23.320
 But it's a reminder of God's burning holiness,

00:10:23.580 --> 00:10:24.259
 His purity,

00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.899
 that He cannot tolerate sin.

00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:30.759
 No one can approach His holy presence.

00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:31.660
 This is what the ark was,

00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:34.100
 symbolic of God's presence.

00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:37.840
 And we can't handle it in a pragmatic way.

00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:41.280
 So we see here that pragmatism kills

00:10:41.280 --> 00:10:43.860
 when it comes to God's truth.

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.420
 They thought this would just be an easy way

00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:47.139
 to move the ark.

00:10:47.460 --> 00:10:50.019
 And it didn't turn out that's what God desired.

00:10:50.940 --> 00:10:52.220
 And so when this happens,

00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.340
 at this death of this man

00:10:54.340 --> 00:10:55.620
 who tried to touch the ark,

00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.019
 David says David is greatly afraid.

00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:02.440
 And that he senses unworthiness

00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:03.960
 to bring the ark to Jerusalem.

00:11:04.780 --> 00:11:07.060
 So it temporarily remains that Obed-Edom,

00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:08.979
 who was a worshiper of God,

00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:10.379
 to stay with him for three months.

00:11:10.459 --> 00:11:11.019
 But then later,

00:11:11.139 --> 00:11:13.279
 David came to retrieve it again.

00:11:13.439 --> 00:11:14.219
 And this time,

00:11:14.779 --> 00:11:17.319
 he did it in accordance with the Levitical law.

00:11:17.500 --> 00:11:19.819
 The priest carried it on the poles.

00:11:20.439 --> 00:11:23.119
 And he was able to bring it into Jerusalem

00:11:23.119 --> 00:11:25.139
 and David's city

00:11:25.139 --> 00:11:27.639
 with great praise, worship, celebration,

00:11:28.539 --> 00:11:29.539
 prayer, music.

00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:31.199
 That was like the order of the day.

00:11:31.219 --> 00:11:32.199
 It was a big deal.

00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.500
 So as the ark of God entered David's city,

00:11:35.500 --> 00:11:39.200
 you see him dancing before the Lord

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.440
 with all his might in the linen ephod.

00:11:42.379 --> 00:11:45.139
 And did not amuse his wife.

00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:47.779
 She thought it was sort of undignified

00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:49.600
 and attacked him.

00:11:49.700 --> 00:11:51.299
 And sort of he came back with like,

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.480
 hey, I'll become even more undignified

00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.860
 for the sake of the Lord,

00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.620
 if that's what it is.

00:11:57.620 --> 00:12:00.379
 And so that dancing expresses

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:03.580
 this part of jubilant worship before God.

00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.060
 We haven't created a dancing area

00:12:06.060 --> 00:12:07.639
 in our room yet.

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:08.560
 Maybe we'll go downstairs.

00:12:08.779 --> 00:12:09.360
 I don't know what to do.

00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.200
 But in Scripture,

00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:12.600
 it's a clear way to portray

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.080
 jubilant worship before God.

00:12:15.899 --> 00:12:16.700
 And so later, though,

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.159
 if you look at chapter 6,

00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.139
 verses 17 and 18,

00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:22.240
 we see something very, very interesting.

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.860
 David portrays himself

00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:28.899
 as a priest-like king,

00:12:29.539 --> 00:12:31.139
 making burnt offerings

00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:33.360
 and fellowship offerings to God.

00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:35.039
 And like a priest,

00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:36.120
 he blesses the people.

00:12:36.259 --> 00:12:38.379
 He hands out the cakes to them,

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:40.820
 the date cakes and raisin cakes.

00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:43.220
 And such actions of David

00:12:43.220 --> 00:12:44.440
 kind of harken back

00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.659
 to Melchizedek in Genesis,

00:12:47.940 --> 00:12:49.799
 another important priestly king

00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:51.799
 who reigned in Salem,

00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:53.399
 which, ironically enough,

00:12:53.459 --> 00:12:54.519
 is where he's at now,

00:12:54.699 --> 00:12:55.120
 Jerusalem.

00:12:55.939 --> 00:12:58.679
 So he portrays this priest-like king

00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:00.279
 in his actions, David does.

00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:02.359
 So he unites

00:13:02.359 --> 00:13:05.079
 under all Israel.

00:13:05.219 --> 00:13:06.479
 He brings it all together.

00:13:06.599 --> 00:13:07.679
 And that's point number one.

00:13:08.419 --> 00:13:09.319
 Point number two,

00:13:09.419 --> 00:13:10.459
 we see after this,

00:13:10.500 --> 00:13:11.339
 in chapter 8,

00:13:12.539 --> 00:13:15.439
 that David conquests

00:13:15.439 --> 00:13:17.339
 all the evil nations

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:18.639
 that are around him.

00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:19.659
 So point number two,

00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.359
 the king vanquishes his enemies.

00:13:22.899 --> 00:13:24.859
 The king vanquishes his enemies.

00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.479
 I'm just reading some selections now,

00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:28.379
 but we're going to camp out

00:13:28.379 --> 00:13:31.339
 on two particular passages soon.

00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:33.719
 The king vanquishes his enemies.

00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:35.000
 This is all in chapter 8.

00:13:35.579 --> 00:13:36.599
 But just some selections.

00:13:36.719 --> 00:13:37.899
 It said that David defeated

00:13:37.899 --> 00:13:38.799
 the Philistines

00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.299
 and subdued them.

00:13:40.939 --> 00:13:42.299
 He defeated Moab.

00:13:43.319 --> 00:13:44.219
 David defeated

00:13:44.219 --> 00:13:46.059
 the king of Zobah.

00:13:46.059 --> 00:13:48.739
 He also restored his power

00:13:48.739 --> 00:13:50.719
 over the river Euphrates.

00:13:51.819 --> 00:13:52.839
 David struck down

00:13:52.839 --> 00:13:55.379
 22,000 men

00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:56.299
 of the Syrians.

00:13:57.259 --> 00:13:58.500
 And the Lord gave victory

00:13:58.500 --> 00:13:59.079
 to David

00:13:59.079 --> 00:14:00.459
 wherever he went.

00:14:01.599 --> 00:14:02.399
 In verse 13,

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.439
 David made a name for himself.

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:08.519
 He put garrisons in Edom.

00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:09.319
 Throughout Edom,

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:10.179
 he put garrisons.

00:14:11.079 --> 00:14:13.019
 And they became David's servants.

00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:14.779
 And then it ends with this.

00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:15.179
 It says,

00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.639
 And the Lord gave victory to David

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.659
 wherever he went.

00:14:19.659 --> 00:14:22.019
 So this is a big deal.

00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:23.299
 This section outlines

00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:24.240
 the fact that David

00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.379
 expanded the kingdom

00:14:25.379 --> 00:14:27.079
 in all directions.

00:14:27.259 --> 00:14:27.579
 North,

00:14:28.379 --> 00:14:28.740
 south,

00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:29.399
 east,

00:14:29.500 --> 00:14:30.199
 and west.

00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:32.379
 And as his military might

00:14:32.379 --> 00:14:33.959
 grew with each passing day,

00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:35.639
 he defeated all

00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:37.299
 of Israel's major enemies.

00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:38.319
 He defeated them

00:14:38.319 --> 00:14:39.279
 and subdued them.

00:14:39.579 --> 00:14:41.059
 Including the Philistines

00:14:41.059 --> 00:14:41.779
 which had murdered

00:14:41.779 --> 00:14:43.399
 and killed Saul

00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:44.039
 and Jonathan.

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.799
 And the other ones

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:47.659
 made peaceful alliances

00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:48.219
 with him,

00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:49.860
 paid tribute to him,

00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:51.799
 and kind of backed down.

00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:54.659
 David wrote Psalm 108

00:14:54.659 --> 00:14:56.559
 as a celebration

00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:57.899
 of his victories

00:14:57.899 --> 00:14:59.459
 against the pagan enemies.

00:15:00.459 --> 00:15:01.799
 These military victories

00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:02.740
 granted David

00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:05.799
 it was a broadcast

00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:06.879
 to all the nations

00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:07.639
 around them

00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:08.839
 of God's covenant love.

00:15:08.939 --> 00:15:10.339
 That's what these victories did.

00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:11.860
 It showed that there was

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:13.019
 a God in Israel

00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:15.059
 to the Philistines,

00:15:15.220 --> 00:15:15.899
 the Moabites,

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:16.720
 and the Edomites.

00:15:17.660 --> 00:15:19.340
 In Psalm 108 verse 13

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:20.120
 David wrote,

00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:22.960
 With God we shall do valiantly.

00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:24.700
 It is he

00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:25.960
 who will tread down

00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:26.860
 our foes.

00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:28.660
 So huge.

00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:29.680
 This is significant.

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:30.399
 Here's why.

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.019
 If you look at a map

00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:33.800
 of David's established kingdom,

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.740
 it very closely resembles

00:15:35.740 --> 00:15:37.840
 the land that David,

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:38.779
 or excuse me,

00:15:38.820 --> 00:15:40.379
 that God had granted Abraham.

00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:43.360
 So we read in Genesis 15,

00:15:43.439 --> 00:15:43.820
 18,

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:44.820
 On that day,

00:15:44.899 --> 00:15:45.899
 the Lord made a covenant

00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:46.779
 with Abram,

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:47.759
 saying,

00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:49.320
 To your offspring

00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:50.700
 I will give this land

00:15:50.700 --> 00:15:53.120
 from the river of Egypt

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:54.480
 to the great river,

00:15:55.299 --> 00:15:56.279
 the river Euphrates.

00:15:57.419 --> 00:15:57.899
 And so,

00:15:58.320 --> 00:15:59.620
 in fulfillment of this,

00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:01.620
 with God's great enabling,

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:03.439
 David was able

00:16:03.439 --> 00:16:04.139
 to drive out

00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:05.480
 the pagan enemies,

00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.279
 the blood-drinking,

00:16:07.460 --> 00:16:08.100
 child-sacrificing,

00:16:08.779 --> 00:16:09.779
 idol-worshippers.

00:16:10.420 --> 00:16:11.960
 And he restored the land

00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:12.879
 that was promised

00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:14.200
 to Abraham.

00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:15.700
 The kingdom,

00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:16.240
 I think,

00:16:16.300 --> 00:16:17.259
 expanded from nearly

00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:19.420
 6,000 square miles

00:16:19.420 --> 00:16:21.340
 to 60,000 square miles.

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:23.700
 This is not just

00:16:23.700 --> 00:16:24.759
 David winning battles.

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:25.720
 This is God

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.139
 keeping his word

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:27.680
 and showing

00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:28.600
 that he is faithful

00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.320
 and true.

00:16:30.420 --> 00:16:31.300
 David was just

00:16:31.300 --> 00:16:32.100
 his instrument

00:16:32.100 --> 00:16:32.899
 to uphold

00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:34.180
 his covenant love.

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:35.340
 So,

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:36.080
 huge deal.

00:16:36.259 --> 00:16:37.620
 The king vanquishes

00:16:37.620 --> 00:16:38.840
 his enemies.

00:16:40.040 --> 00:16:40.200
 Alright,

00:16:40.300 --> 00:16:40.899
 and nextly,

00:16:41.280 --> 00:16:42.000
 we're going to get

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.200
 into a text

00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:44.019
 and kind of camp out

00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:44.519
 for a minute,

00:16:44.700 --> 00:16:46.259
 but thirdly,

00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:48.780
 the king's covenant

00:16:48.780 --> 00:16:49.700
 with God.

00:16:49.700 --> 00:16:51.879
 the king's covenant

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:52.700
 with God.

00:16:53.640 --> 00:16:54.120
 Alright,

00:16:54.160 --> 00:16:54.680
 we see this

00:16:54.680 --> 00:16:55.620
 in chapter 7.

00:16:56.680 --> 00:16:57.120
 Alright,

00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:57.840
 but here,

00:16:58.480 --> 00:16:59.640
 we see what is referred

00:16:59.640 --> 00:17:00.300
 to as one of the

00:17:00.300 --> 00:17:01.340
 most important

00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:02.620
 covenants

00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:03.200
 in the scripture.

00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:03.580
 Like,

00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:05.160
 if you want to know

00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:05.900
 God's word

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:06.779
 and understand

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:08.519
 what God is doing

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:09.480
 in redemptive history,

00:17:09.580 --> 00:17:10.980
 you must understand

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:12.539
 what is called,

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:13.620
 referred to as

00:17:13.620 --> 00:17:15.360
 the Davidic covenant.

00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:16.880
 Even though

00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:17.660
 the word covenant

00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:18.920
 doesn't appear in this,

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:20.340
 it is a covenant.

00:17:21.060 --> 00:17:22.400
 In Psalm 89,

00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:23.279
 3 and 4,

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:24.180
 God said,

00:17:25.080 --> 00:17:26.400
 I made a covenant

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:27.740
 with my chosen one.

00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:29.340
 I have sworn

00:17:29.340 --> 00:17:29.900
 to David,

00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:30.580
 my servant.

00:17:31.100 --> 00:17:32.200
 I will establish

00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:33.539
 your offspring forever

00:17:33.539 --> 00:17:34.740
 and build your throne

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:36.680
 for all generations.

00:17:37.840 --> 00:17:38.180
 And so,

00:17:38.259 --> 00:17:38.860
 this is a

00:17:38.860 --> 00:17:40.560
 messianic promise.

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.680
 It's a key passage

00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:43.700
 in the history

00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:44.500
 of salvation.

00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:46.640
 And David receives

00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:47.480
 this promise

00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:48.099
 from God.

00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:49.539
 When he does that,

00:17:49.620 --> 00:17:50.519
 it sums up

00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:51.860
 all the covenantal

00:17:51.860 --> 00:17:52.400
 promises

00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:54.259
 that God had made

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:55.120
 beforehand,

00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.940
 focusing them in

00:17:57.940 --> 00:17:58.559
 on David

00:17:58.559 --> 00:17:59.400
 and his descendants.

00:17:59.599 --> 00:17:59.759
 So,

00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:00.480
 it's like,

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:00.620
 hey,

00:18:00.620 --> 00:18:01.200
 all these things

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:01.559
 that have happened

00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:02.019
 before,

00:18:02.620 --> 00:18:03.759
 now look at this.

00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:04.640
 He's zooming in

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:05.259
 on David

00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:06.099
 and his descendants.

00:18:07.220 --> 00:18:07.620
 And so,

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.819
 what ends up happening

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:09.819
 in chapter 7,

00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:12.000
 in verse 1 and 3,

00:18:12.980 --> 00:18:13.559
 is that you see

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:14.500
 that after David

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:15.379
 brings the ark

00:18:15.379 --> 00:18:16.259
 to Jerusalem,

00:18:16.919 --> 00:18:17.879
 he begins

00:18:17.879 --> 00:18:18.799
 to genuinely

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:21.079
 feel bad

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:21.940
 about something.

00:18:22.639 --> 00:18:23.220
 He's like,

00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:23.919
 I live

00:18:23.919 --> 00:18:25.039
 in a nice house,

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:27.500
 but the ark

00:18:27.500 --> 00:18:28.200
 of God,

00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:29.980
 the very symbol

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:31.159
 of his holy presence,

00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:31.940
 is just sitting

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:33.019
 in a measly tent.

00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:34.000
 You see where

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:34.679
 he's going with this?

00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:34.960
 Like,

00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:36.839
 I live in a nice place.

00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:38.159
 The ark,

00:18:38.500 --> 00:18:39.500
 as awesome as it is,

00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:40.200
 as great as it is,

00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:40.919
 is just in a tent.

00:18:41.660 --> 00:18:41.840
 So,

00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:43.220
 an idea came to him

00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:43.900
 to build

00:18:43.900 --> 00:18:45.720
 a permanent structure,

00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:46.779
 a permanent dwelling

00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:48.100
 for the ark

00:18:48.100 --> 00:18:50.220
 and all the sacred furniture.

00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:51.400
 So,

00:18:51.500 --> 00:18:52.600
 upon first hearing

00:18:52.600 --> 00:18:53.240
 this plan,

00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:55.019
 the first time

00:18:55.019 --> 00:18:55.480
 he heard it,

00:18:55.600 --> 00:18:56.460
 the prophet Nathan

00:18:56.460 --> 00:18:57.779
 approves,

00:18:57.820 --> 00:18:58.560
 and he basically says,

00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.400
 go and do this

00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:00.259
 all in your mind.

00:19:00.300 --> 00:19:00.740
 That's fine.

00:19:00.800 --> 00:19:00.920
 Like,

00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:01.580
 go for it,

00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:02.720
 for the Lord

00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.580
 is clearly with you.

00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:04.180
 Go for it.

00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:05.440
 But then,

00:19:05.820 --> 00:19:07.400
 later that day,

00:19:08.560 --> 00:19:09.080
 God

00:19:09.080 --> 00:19:10.900
 speaks out,

00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.259
 to the prophet Nathan,

00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:14.740
 and he's basically saying,

00:19:14.900 --> 00:19:15.120
 no,

00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:17.539
 not my plan.

00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:18.640
 I've appointed David

00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:19.500
 to be the king.

00:19:19.580 --> 00:19:20.940
 He is a man of war.

00:19:21.620 --> 00:19:23.180
 His heart is on the battlefield

00:19:23.180 --> 00:19:24.160
 subduing enemies.

00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:25.440
 I haven't made David

00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.240
 to be an architect

00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:28.240
 or a builder.

00:19:29.320 --> 00:19:30.400
 He is not

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:31.220
 to build me

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:31.740
 a temple.

00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:33.759
 And,

00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:35.380
 we learn later on

00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:36.440
 in 1 Chronicles

00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:37.440
 22,

00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.100
 8,

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:39.800
 that David says,

00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:40.539
 the Lord said

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:40.919
 he cannot

00:19:40.919 --> 00:19:42.159
 build this temple

00:19:42.159 --> 00:19:42.500
 because

00:19:42.500 --> 00:19:44.279
 you have shed

00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:45.259
 much blood

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:46.779
 and have waged

00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:48.240
 great wars.

00:19:48.379 --> 00:19:49.200
 You shall not

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:50.379
 build a house

00:19:50.379 --> 00:19:51.099
 to my name,

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:51.779
 God says,

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:53.259
 because you have shed

00:19:53.259 --> 00:19:54.259
 so much blood

00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:55.039
 before me

00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:55.759
 on the earth.

00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:57.099
 And so,

00:19:57.299 --> 00:19:58.240
 God says no.

00:19:58.339 --> 00:19:58.440
 So,

00:19:58.500 --> 00:19:58.919
 we see here

00:19:58.919 --> 00:19:59.059
 that,

00:19:59.119 --> 00:19:59.220
 like,

00:19:59.240 --> 00:19:59.919
 don't kind of

00:19:59.919 --> 00:20:00.399
 get ahead

00:20:00.399 --> 00:20:01.619
 of God.

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:02.839
 Right?

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:03.619
 They got ahead

00:20:03.619 --> 00:20:04.220
 of their skis

00:20:04.220 --> 00:20:04.879
 a little bit there.

00:20:04.940 --> 00:20:05.619
 They were assuming

00:20:05.619 --> 00:20:06.799
 that it would be okay

00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:07.740
 if David did this.

00:20:07.859 --> 00:20:08.419
 Then God

00:20:08.419 --> 00:20:09.599
 said no.

00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:10.720
 This is not his role.

00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:11.359
 This is not

00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.700
 what he's doing.

00:20:12.859 --> 00:20:13.019
 But,

00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:14.059
 quickly,

00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:15.019
 it's sort of this idea

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:15.919
 that if you ever had

00:20:15.919 --> 00:20:17.240
 a really good desire,

00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:18.980
 a holy desire

00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:19.859
 to do something

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:20.619
 for God

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:21.399
 and his glory,

00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:23.379
 only to have him

00:20:23.379 --> 00:20:24.740
 deny you that desire,

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:27.359
 and then on the other hand,

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:29.559
 actually see that

00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:30.579
 exact same thing

00:20:30.579 --> 00:20:31.480
 you were thinking about

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:32.980
 fulfilled in somebody else.

00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:35.799
 Carried out by

00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:36.700
 another person.

00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:38.240
 How do you respond

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:38.819
 to God

00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:40.500
 in such times?

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:41.940
 However,

00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:44.119
 within this refusal,

00:20:45.159 --> 00:20:45.899
 God offers

00:20:45.899 --> 00:20:47.200
 a great affirmation

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.359
 and great blessing

00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:49.000
 to David.

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:50.079
 So,

00:20:50.139 --> 00:20:51.000
 instead of David

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:51.960
 building God

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:52.579
 a house,

00:20:53.539 --> 00:20:54.180
 God,

00:20:54.379 --> 00:20:54.940
 in his grace,

00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:56.059
 promises to build

00:20:56.059 --> 00:20:57.180
 David a house.

00:20:58.019 --> 00:20:58.720
 It's amazing.

00:20:59.899 --> 00:21:00.200
 And,

00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:01.599
 we see

00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.599
 God speaking

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:03.259
 through the prophet

00:21:03.259 --> 00:21:03.859
 Nathan.

00:21:04.500 --> 00:21:05.279
 He says to David,

00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.339
 look at verse 11

00:21:06.339 --> 00:21:07.160
 in chapter 7,

00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:07.920
 maybe a little

00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:09.039
 halfway through 11.

00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:11.720
 Alright?

00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:12.799
 This is what it says.

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:13.240
 Moreover,

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:15.099
 the Lord declares

00:21:15.099 --> 00:21:15.759
 to you

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:17.000
 that the Lord

00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:17.859
 will make you

00:21:17.859 --> 00:21:18.379
 a house.

00:21:19.139 --> 00:21:19.940
 When your days

00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:20.480
 are fulfilled

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:21.359
 and you lie down

00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:22.099
 with your fathers,

00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:24.019
 I will raise up

00:21:24.019 --> 00:21:24.639
 your offspring

00:21:24.639 --> 00:21:25.539
 after you

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:27.139
 who shall come

00:21:27.139 --> 00:21:28.000
 from your body

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.160
 and I will

00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:29.700
 establish

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:30.440
 his kingdom.

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:32.399
 He shall build

00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:32.960
 a house

00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:33.960
 for my name

00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:35.120
 and I will

00:21:35.120 --> 00:21:36.120
 establish the throne

00:21:36.120 --> 00:21:36.860
 of his kingdom

00:21:36.860 --> 00:21:37.440
 forever.

00:21:38.360 --> 00:21:39.220
 I will be

00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:39.740
 to him

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:40.360
 a father

00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:41.080
 and he

00:21:41.080 --> 00:21:41.620
 shall be

00:21:41.620 --> 00:21:42.180
 a son,

00:21:42.420 --> 00:21:43.300
 to me a son.

00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:44.620
 When he commits

00:21:44.620 --> 00:21:45.140
 iniquity,

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:45.840
 I will discipline

00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:46.780
 him with the rod

00:21:46.780 --> 00:21:47.340
 of men,

00:21:47.860 --> 00:21:48.740
 with the stripes

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:49.460
 of the sons

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:49.960
 of men.

00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:51.220
 But,

00:21:51.360 --> 00:21:53.100
 my steadfast love

00:21:53.100 --> 00:21:54.320
 will not

00:21:54.320 --> 00:21:55.340
 depart from him

00:21:55.340 --> 00:21:56.860
 as I took it

00:21:56.860 --> 00:21:57.519
 from Saul

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.680
 whom I put

00:21:58.680 --> 00:21:59.740
 away before you.

00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:01.480
 and your house

00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:02.500
 and your kingdom

00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:03.900
 shall be made

00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:05.000
 sure forever

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:06.000
 before me.

00:22:06.700 --> 00:22:07.539
 Your throne

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:08.039
 shall be

00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:08.779
 established

00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:09.740
 forever.

00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:11.640
 We have to

00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:12.400
 get this

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.059
 in our heads.

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:14.400
 Alright?

00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:15.299
 This is what

00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:15.859
 it's referred to

00:22:15.859 --> 00:22:16.740
 as the Davidic

00:22:16.740 --> 00:22:17.859
 Covenant.

00:22:18.779 --> 00:22:19.000
 So,

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:19.940
 by his grace

00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:20.819
 and his initiative,

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.599
 God tells David

00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:23.180
 that he will

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:24.480
 establish his line

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:25.000
 forever.

00:22:25.140 --> 00:22:25.799
 His dynasty

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:27.160
 will rule

00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:27.940
 eternally

00:22:27.940 --> 00:22:28.720
 with an eternal

00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:29.359
 throne.

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:30.779
 That he will

00:22:30.779 --> 00:22:31.960
 raise up a son

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:32.740
 from David's

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:33.200
 line

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:34.880
 who will have

00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:35.920
 an eternal

00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:36.559
 kingdom.

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:37.700
 And that

00:22:37.700 --> 00:22:38.380
 that person

00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:39.359
 would build

00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:39.920
 the Lord's

00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:40.319
 house.

00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:41.900
 And the Lord

00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:43.000
 fulfills this

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.480
 typologically

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.059
 through David's

00:22:46.059 --> 00:22:46.859
 son Solomon,

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:47.240
 right?

00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:48.539
 Who reigns

00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:49.259
 over Israel

00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:49.700
 and builds

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:50.120
 a temple.

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:50.380
 But,

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:50.839
 however,

00:22:50.900 --> 00:22:51.579
 that promise

00:22:51.579 --> 00:22:52.279
 is not

00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:53.140
 ultimately

00:22:53.140 --> 00:22:53.920
 fulfilled by

00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:54.359
 Solomon

00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:55.400
 for a lot

00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:55.940
 of reasons.

00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:56.299
 One,

00:22:57.559 --> 00:22:58.480
 Solomon did not

00:22:58.480 --> 00:22:59.299
 reign eternally.

00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:00.740
 He was not

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:01.319
 sinless

00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:02.000
 and he

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:02.420
 died.

00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:03.819
 So,

00:23:03.900 --> 00:23:04.200
 clearly,

00:23:04.339 --> 00:23:04.660
 this is

00:23:04.660 --> 00:23:05.539
 pointing forward

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:06.839
 to our

00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:07.880
 Lord Jesus,

00:23:08.059 --> 00:23:08.680
 the true

00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:10.160
 son of

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:10.579
 David,

00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:11.259
 mentioned in

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:12.120
 Matthew 1,

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:13.339
 verse 1.

00:23:14.380 --> 00:23:14.880
 This is

00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:15.620
 pointing forward,

00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:16.440
 prefiguring.

00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:18.500
 Jesus will

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:19.279
 build God's

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:20.579
 true spiritual

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:21.099
 temple,

00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:22.720
 as it says

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.420
 in 1 Peter

00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:23.980
 chapter 2,

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:24.640
 verse 5.

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.800
 But next,

00:23:25.900 --> 00:23:26.560
 God promises

00:23:26.560 --> 00:23:27.620
 in verse 14,

00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:28.020
 if you just

00:23:28.020 --> 00:23:28.440
 keep your eye

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:29.000
 on the text,

00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:30.000
 he says,

00:23:30.140 --> 00:23:30.460
 I will be

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:30.940
 a father

00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:31.780
 to him,

00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:33.080
 a father

00:23:33.080 --> 00:23:33.820
 to that

00:23:33.820 --> 00:23:34.320
 Davidic

00:23:34.320 --> 00:23:34.700
 king,

00:23:35.280 --> 00:23:35.800
 and he

00:23:35.800 --> 00:23:36.300
 will be,

00:23:36.360 --> 00:23:37.080
 as to God,

00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:37.740
 a son.

00:23:38.540 --> 00:23:38.940
 Right?

00:23:39.040 --> 00:23:39.400
 That's what it

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:39.700
 says.

00:23:39.780 --> 00:23:40.120
 I will be

00:23:40.120 --> 00:23:40.400
 to him

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:40.880
 a father,

00:23:41.360 --> 00:23:41.620
 and he

00:23:41.620 --> 00:23:41.940
 shall be

00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:42.180
 to me

00:23:42.180 --> 00:23:42.580
 a son.

00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:42.920
 So,

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:44.600
 as Israel's

00:23:44.600 --> 00:23:45.320
 representative,

00:23:46.120 --> 00:23:46.740
 the descendants

00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:47.360
 of David

00:23:47.360 --> 00:23:48.060
 are to live

00:23:48.060 --> 00:23:48.640
 in covenant

00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:49.420
 relationship

00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:50.860
 with God.

00:23:50.859 --> 00:23:50.919
 God,

00:23:51.699 --> 00:23:52.479
 the Lord

00:23:52.479 --> 00:23:53.299
 reassures

00:23:53.299 --> 00:23:53.899
 David that

00:23:53.899 --> 00:23:54.419
 his throne

00:23:54.419 --> 00:23:54.959
 will be

00:23:54.959 --> 00:23:56.559
 his forever.

00:23:57.539 --> 00:23:57.859
 And at

00:23:57.859 --> 00:23:58.359
 this time,

00:23:58.419 --> 00:23:59.079
 in this text,

00:23:59.119 --> 00:23:59.599
 he also

00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:00.179
 promises,

00:24:00.339 --> 00:24:00.779
 at the same

00:24:00.779 --> 00:24:01.240
 time,

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.559
 to discipline

00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:03.479
 the Davidic

00:24:03.479 --> 00:24:04.059
 king when

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:04.759
 he sins,

00:24:05.399 --> 00:24:06.219
 correcting him

00:24:06.219 --> 00:24:06.979
 as a father

00:24:06.979 --> 00:24:07.799
 would correct

00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:08.779
 a son.

00:24:08.859 --> 00:24:09.079
 We know

00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:09.359
 that to be

00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:09.759
 the case.

00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:10.059
 You read

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:10.439
 the history

00:24:10.439 --> 00:24:10.939
 of the kings

00:24:10.939 --> 00:24:11.479
 of Israel

00:24:11.479 --> 00:24:12.479
 and David's

00:24:12.479 --> 00:24:12.919
 descendants.

00:24:13.619 --> 00:24:14.039
 When they

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:14.379
 sin,

00:24:14.539 --> 00:24:15.199
 God disciplined

00:24:15.199 --> 00:24:16.740
 them with

00:24:16.740 --> 00:24:17.419
 a rod of iron,

00:24:17.479 --> 00:24:18.019
 with the nations

00:24:18.019 --> 00:24:18.619
 that were around

00:24:18.619 --> 00:24:18.879
 them.

00:24:19.679 --> 00:24:20.099
 And so,

00:24:20.099 --> 00:24:20.919
 that's

00:24:20.919 --> 00:24:22.219
 interesting,

00:24:22.419 --> 00:24:23.480
 right,

00:24:23.539 --> 00:24:23.980
 that God

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:24.439
 disciplined

00:24:24.439 --> 00:24:24.799
 all these

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:25.379
 other kings.

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:26.039
 And once again,

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:27.000
 we see a near

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:27.439
 and far

00:24:27.439 --> 00:24:28.019
 fulfillment.

00:24:28.740 --> 00:24:29.299
 God did

00:24:29.299 --> 00:24:29.759
 discipline

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.719
 Solomon as

00:24:30.719 --> 00:24:31.159
 the king

00:24:31.159 --> 00:24:31.699
 for his

00:24:31.699 --> 00:24:32.819
 sin and

00:24:32.819 --> 00:24:33.240
 rebellion.

00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:34.079
 But Jesus,

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:35.339
 however,

00:24:36.339 --> 00:24:37.139
 is punished

00:24:37.139 --> 00:24:37.699
 not for

00:24:37.699 --> 00:24:38.359
 his own

00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:38.799
 sin,

00:24:39.159 --> 00:24:40.079
 but for

00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:40.559
 the sins

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:41.199
 of others,

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:41.719
 including

00:24:41.719 --> 00:24:42.179
 David,

00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:43.339
 and including

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:44.079
 all the other

00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.039
 Davidic kings,

00:24:45.699 --> 00:24:46.279
 all his

00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:46.719
 descendants.

00:24:46.899 --> 00:24:47.019
 So,

00:24:47.219 --> 00:24:47.459
 as the

00:24:47.459 --> 00:24:47.939
 Messiah,

00:24:48.879 --> 00:24:49.240
 Jesus

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:50.079
 inherits

00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:50.759
 David's

00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:52.199
 role as

00:24:52.199 --> 00:24:52.919
 a representative

00:24:52.919 --> 00:24:53.899
 of God's

00:24:53.899 --> 00:24:54.399
 people.

00:24:55.139 --> 00:24:55.720
 He is the

00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:56.519
 true son

00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:56.960
 of God.

00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:57.500
 He is

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:58.779
 the one

00:24:58.779 --> 00:24:59.500
 who rules

00:24:59.500 --> 00:24:59.839
 on the

00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:00.460
 throne of

00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:01.099
 David for

00:25:01.099 --> 00:25:01.980
 all time.

00:25:02.879 --> 00:25:03.299
 Just to

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:03.740
 read you this

00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:04.119
 quickly,

00:25:04.299 --> 00:25:04.659
 remember,

00:25:05.259 --> 00:25:06.159
 early in

00:25:06.159 --> 00:25:06.759
 the gospel

00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:07.259
 of Luke,

00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:08.539
 Gabriel

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:09.379
 appears

00:25:09.379 --> 00:25:10.759
 to Mary,

00:25:12.059 --> 00:25:12.679
 and he

00:25:12.679 --> 00:25:13.099
 says to

00:25:13.099 --> 00:25:13.359
 her,

00:25:14.439 --> 00:25:15.059
 make the

00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:15.519
 connections,

00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:16.039
 behold,

00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:16.059
 behold,

00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:16.579
 you will

00:25:16.579 --> 00:25:17.359
 conceive in

00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:17.799
 your womb

00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:18.160
 and bear

00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:18.700
 a son,

00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:19.720
 and you

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:20.220
 shall call

00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:20.859
 his name

00:25:20.859 --> 00:25:21.460
 Jesus.

00:25:22.660 --> 00:25:23.019
 Here it

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:23.240
 is,

00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:23.960
 he will

00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:24.579
 be great

00:25:24.579 --> 00:25:25.279
 and will

00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:25.740
 be called

00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:26.200
 the son

00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:26.420
 of the

00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:27.019
 most high,

00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:28.420
 and the

00:25:28.420 --> 00:25:29.139
 Lord God

00:25:29.139 --> 00:25:29.680
 will give

00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:30.299
 him the

00:25:30.299 --> 00:25:31.019
 throne of

00:25:31.019 --> 00:25:31.639
 his father

00:25:31.639 --> 00:25:32.139
 David,

00:25:32.900 --> 00:25:33.259
 and he

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:33.839
 will reign

00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:34.440
 over the

00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:35.000
 house of

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:35.339
 Jacob

00:25:35.339 --> 00:25:36.139
 forever.

00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:37.319
 In his

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:37.759
 kingdom,

00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:38.279
 there will

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:38.819
 be no

00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:39.400
 end.

00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:40.780
 So we

00:25:40.780 --> 00:25:41.220
 see this

00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:41.740
 wonderful

00:25:41.740 --> 00:25:42.400
 connection

00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:43.780
 in the

00:25:43.780 --> 00:25:44.320
 earlier,

00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:45.540
 before Jesus

00:25:45.540 --> 00:25:45.940
 was ever

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:46.259
 born,

00:25:46.360 --> 00:25:46.560
 hey,

00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:46.820
 yeah,

00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:47.240
 he's the

00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:47.640
 fulfillment,

00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:48.860
 he's the

00:25:48.860 --> 00:25:49.340
 one,

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:49.800
 he's the

00:25:49.800 --> 00:25:50.259
 promised

00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:50.820
 king.

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:51.620
 It says

00:25:51.620 --> 00:25:52.320
 before any

00:25:52.320 --> 00:25:52.800
 shadow of

00:25:52.800 --> 00:25:53.160
 the doubt

00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:54.000
 that the

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:54.800
 Bible teaches

00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:55.300
 that this

00:25:55.300 --> 00:25:56.480
 promise is

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:57.340
 pointing forward

00:25:57.340 --> 00:25:58.540
 to king

00:25:58.540 --> 00:25:59.180
 Jesus.

00:26:00.120 --> 00:26:00.700
 So as

00:26:00.700 --> 00:26:02.120
 the son

00:26:02.120 --> 00:26:02.700
 of David

00:26:02.700 --> 00:26:03.780
 and the

00:26:03.780 --> 00:26:04.240
 Lord of

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:04.560
 David,

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:05.300
 Jesus now

00:26:05.300 --> 00:26:06.660
 reigns in

00:26:06.660 --> 00:26:07.040
 heaven.

00:26:07.600 --> 00:26:08.220
 1 Corinthians

00:26:08.220 --> 00:26:08.680
 15,

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:09.360
 25,

00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:10.440
 over the

00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:10.960
 true

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:11.759
 spiritual

00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:13.160
 house of

00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:13.600
 Israel.

00:26:14.340 --> 00:26:14.840
 So after

00:26:14.840 --> 00:26:16.180
 this promise

00:26:16.180 --> 00:26:16.700
 is made,

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.220
 after God

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:17.700
 says to

00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:17.860
 him,

00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:18.120
 I'm going

00:26:18.120 --> 00:26:18.600
 to establish

00:26:18.600 --> 00:26:19.280
 your line

00:26:19.280 --> 00:26:20.300
 forever,

00:26:21.380 --> 00:26:21.840
 and from

00:26:21.840 --> 00:26:22.280
 you will

00:26:22.280 --> 00:26:22.940
 come one

00:26:22.940 --> 00:26:23.200
 who will

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:24.259
 rule on

00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:24.700
 the throne

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:25.180
 for all

00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:25.620
 time.

00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:26.540
 David,

00:26:26.660 --> 00:26:27.019
 in the next

00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:27.600
 few verses,

00:26:27.820 --> 00:26:28.360
 offers this

00:26:28.360 --> 00:26:29.280
 great prayer

00:26:29.280 --> 00:26:30.000
 of gratitude

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:31.560
 to God

00:26:31.560 --> 00:26:32.259
 flowing from

00:26:32.259 --> 00:26:32.780
 his heart.

00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:34.500
 David uses

00:26:34.500 --> 00:26:35.259
 the phrase,

00:26:36.220 --> 00:26:36.900
 O Lord

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:37.400
 God,

00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:38.259
 eight times

00:26:38.259 --> 00:26:38.700
 in this

00:26:38.700 --> 00:26:39.100
 text.

00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:40.320
 expressing

00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:40.820
 his deep

00:26:40.820 --> 00:26:41.300
 love,

00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:42.000
 reverence,

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:43.000
 intimacy

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:43.840
 with God.

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:45.060
 Then he

00:26:45.060 --> 00:26:45.500
 prays,

00:26:45.580 --> 00:26:46.060
 this is

00:26:46.060 --> 00:26:46.640
 instruction

00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:47.680
 for mankind

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.300
 in verse

00:26:48.300 --> 00:26:48.840
 19.

00:26:49.600 --> 00:26:50.400
 That means

00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:51.080
 basically that

00:26:51.080 --> 00:26:51.780
 all people

00:26:51.780 --> 00:26:52.420
 can learn

00:26:52.420 --> 00:26:53.160
 about God's

00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:53.480
 covenant

00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:54.240
 faithfulness

00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:55.200
 by looking

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:55.960
 at God's

00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:56.519
 relationship

00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:57.180
 with David.

00:26:57.820 --> 00:26:58.680
 And it

00:26:58.680 --> 00:26:59.200
 could be

00:26:59.200 --> 00:26:59.860
 translated,

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:01.560
 is this

00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:02.200
 your custom

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:03.740
 with mankind?

00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:05.660
 basically saying

00:27:05.660 --> 00:27:06.099
 you don't

00:27:06.099 --> 00:27:06.880
 usually do

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:07.339
 this kind

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:07.720
 of thing

00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:08.460
 with humans

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:09.400
 is what

00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:09.859
 David is

00:27:09.859 --> 00:27:10.099
 saying.

00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:10.480
 This is

00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:11.140
 abnormal

00:27:11.140 --> 00:27:12.420
 and I

00:27:12.420 --> 00:27:13.319
 recognize it

00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:14.140
 because this

00:27:14.140 --> 00:27:14.779
 is grace.

00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:15.859
 And he

00:27:15.859 --> 00:27:16.319
 says there

00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:17.019
 is no one

00:27:17.019 --> 00:27:17.519
 like you

00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:17.759
 and there

00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:18.120
 is no

00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:18.559
 God

00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:19.400
 besides you

00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:19.720
 in verse

00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:20.140
 22.

00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:21.520
 So I

00:27:21.520 --> 00:27:22.180
 hope that

00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:22.840
 are you

00:27:22.840 --> 00:27:24.360
 allowing

00:27:24.360 --> 00:27:24.920
 God

00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:26.280
 to teach

00:27:26.280 --> 00:27:26.580
 you

00:27:26.580 --> 00:27:27.140
 during these

00:27:27.140 --> 00:27:27.660
 times

00:27:27.660 --> 00:27:29.140
 through his

00:27:29.140 --> 00:27:29.560
 gracious

00:27:29.560 --> 00:27:30.280
 dealings

00:27:30.280 --> 00:27:30.860
 with David?

00:27:31.860 --> 00:27:32.480
 Has he

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:32.880
 given you

00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:33.480
 eyes to

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:34.040
 see his

00:27:34.040 --> 00:27:34.440
 covenant

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:35.040
 love and

00:27:35.040 --> 00:27:35.380
 blessing

00:27:35.380 --> 00:27:36.520
 in your

00:27:36.520 --> 00:27:37.040
 life

00:27:37.040 --> 00:27:37.600
 through

00:27:37.600 --> 00:27:39.080
 the eternal

00:27:39.080 --> 00:27:39.520
 king?

00:27:40.380 --> 00:27:41.000
 And that

00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:41.420
 leads us

00:27:41.420 --> 00:27:41.759
 to

00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:43.400
 our last

00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:43.780
 point

00:27:43.780 --> 00:27:45.340
 and that

00:27:45.340 --> 00:27:45.800
 is

00:27:45.800 --> 00:27:46.620
 Christ

00:27:46.620 --> 00:27:48.500
 the perfect

00:27:48.500 --> 00:27:49.080
 eternal

00:27:49.080 --> 00:27:49.680
 king.

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:51.120
 Christ

00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:51.860
 the perfect

00:27:51.860 --> 00:27:53.259
 eternal

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:53.720
 king.

00:27:54.600 --> 00:27:55.160
 We're going

00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:55.380
 to look

00:27:55.380 --> 00:27:55.780
 into the

00:27:55.780 --> 00:27:56.340
 Psalms

00:27:56.340 --> 00:27:58.360
 to explore

00:27:58.360 --> 00:27:58.900
 this part

00:27:58.900 --> 00:27:59.100
 of it.

00:27:59.180 --> 00:28:00.220
 But as

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:00.740
 we know

00:28:00.740 --> 00:28:01.580
 David the

00:28:01.580 --> 00:28:02.020
 king is

00:28:02.020 --> 00:28:02.500
 only a

00:28:02.500 --> 00:28:03.080
 prefigure

00:28:03.080 --> 00:28:04.120
 a foreshadowing

00:28:04.120 --> 00:28:05.200
 of our

00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:06.200
 great king

00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:06.900
 of kings.

00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:08.660
 So in our

00:28:08.660 --> 00:28:09.360
 story today

00:28:09.360 --> 00:28:10.060
 there is a

00:28:10.060 --> 00:28:11.080
 king behind

00:28:11.080 --> 00:28:11.740
 the king.

00:28:12.840 --> 00:28:13.520
 Today

00:28:13.520 --> 00:28:14.300
 kings are

00:28:14.300 --> 00:28:14.640
 mostly

00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:15.400
 marginalized

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:16.420
 meaningless

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:18.040
 especially to

00:28:18.040 --> 00:28:18.560
 Americans

00:28:18.560 --> 00:28:19.100
 some of our

00:28:19.100 --> 00:28:19.480
 earlier

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:20.000
 American

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.480
 revolution

00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:21.079
 flags

00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:22.220
 say things

00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:22.519
 like we

00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:23.119
 serve no

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:23.559
 sovereign

00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:24.039
 here.

00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:26.140
 But there

00:28:26.140 --> 00:28:27.140
 remains in

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:27.960
 kingship an

00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:28.500
 enduring

00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:29.500
 significance

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:29.819
 that's

00:28:29.819 --> 00:28:30.599
 inescapable

00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:31.740
 to us.

00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:32.500
 Something that's

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:33.380
 burned deeply

00:28:33.380 --> 00:28:33.960
 into our

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:35.619
 souls that's

00:28:35.619 --> 00:28:36.200
 telling us

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:36.500
 that the

00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:37.039
 world will

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:38.059
 only prosper

00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:39.119
 and have

00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:40.299
 peace when

00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:40.980
 the perfect

00:28:40.980 --> 00:28:42.720
 king comes

00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:43.359
 to reign.

00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:45.000
 Where no

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:45.660
 good and

00:28:45.660 --> 00:28:46.480
 righteous king

00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:47.240
 reigns,

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:47.779
 evil

00:28:47.779 --> 00:28:48.620
 reigns.

00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:49.980
 This is

00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:50.279
 why it's

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:50.839
 so important

00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:51.640
 for us

00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:52.099
 to introduce

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:52.480
 to our

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:53.099
 kids the

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:53.579
 writings of

00:28:53.579 --> 00:28:54.039
 Tolkien,

00:28:54.859 --> 00:28:55.359
 the writings

00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:55.900
 of C.S.

00:28:55.980 --> 00:28:56.259
 Lewis,

00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:56.880
 The Hobbit,

00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:57.359
 Lord of the

00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:57.640
 Rings.

00:28:57.779 --> 00:28:58.180
 Get them

00:28:58.180 --> 00:28:58.660
 into that

00:28:58.660 --> 00:28:59.220
 because there's

00:28:59.220 --> 00:29:00.200
 such kingly

00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:02.559
 imagery that

00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:03.039
 weren't this

00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:03.680
 foreign to

00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:04.079
 us.

00:29:05.539 --> 00:29:06.000
 Peter

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:06.680
 Kreef wrote,

00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:08.120
 which I've

00:29:08.120 --> 00:29:08.620
 read this a

00:29:08.620 --> 00:29:09.039
 long time

00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:09.319
 ago, you

00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:09.559
 might not

00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:09.920
 remember,

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:10.860
 but though

00:29:10.860 --> 00:29:11.259
 we do not

00:29:11.259 --> 00:29:11.940
 have kings

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:12.560
 in America

00:29:12.560 --> 00:29:13.860
 or want

00:29:13.860 --> 00:29:15.340
 them, our

00:29:15.340 --> 00:29:16.000
 unconscious

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.960
 mind both

00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:17.640
 has them

00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:18.300
 and wants

00:29:18.300 --> 00:29:18.539
 them.

00:29:19.360 --> 00:29:20.060
 We all

00:29:20.060 --> 00:29:20.539
 know what

00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:20.900
 a true

00:29:20.900 --> 00:29:21.600
 king is,

00:29:21.800 --> 00:29:22.460
 a real

00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:23.000
 king, an

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:23.759
 ideal king.

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:25.279
 He is not

00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:25.680
 a mere

00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:26.800
 politician or

00:29:26.800 --> 00:29:27.279
 soldier.

00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:28.740
 Something in

00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:30.360
 us longs to

00:29:30.360 --> 00:29:31.000
 give him our

00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:32.460
 loyalty and

00:29:32.460 --> 00:29:33.420
 fealty and

00:29:33.420 --> 00:29:34.200
 service and

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:34.660
 obedience.

00:29:35.580 --> 00:29:36.560
 He is lost

00:29:36.560 --> 00:29:37.500
 but longed

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:38.820
 for and will

00:29:38.819 --> 00:29:40.119
 someday return

00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:41.179
 like Arthur.

00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:43.359
 So we

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:44.399
 have democracy

00:29:44.399 --> 00:29:45.139
 but we

00:29:45.139 --> 00:29:45.939
 really need

00:29:45.939 --> 00:29:47.200
 a king.

00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:48.460
 We just

00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:48.939
 haven't found

00:29:48.939 --> 00:29:49.539
 anybody in

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:50.039
 this world

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:50.359
 or in

00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:50.879
 history that's

00:29:50.879 --> 00:29:51.599
 actually worthy

00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:52.259
 to wear that

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:52.799
 kind of

00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:53.139
 throne.

00:29:53.619 --> 00:29:54.119
 But there's

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:54.899
 a reason for

00:29:54.899 --> 00:29:55.399
 the old

00:29:55.399 --> 00:29:56.059
 myths, the

00:29:56.059 --> 00:29:57.079
 old tales of

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.500
 kings.

00:29:58.379 --> 00:29:59.179
 The reason we

00:29:59.179 --> 00:30:00.059
 adore them and

00:30:00.059 --> 00:30:00.899
 create them is

00:30:00.899 --> 00:30:01.720
 because there is

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:02.899
 a memory trace

00:30:02.899 --> 00:30:04.159
 in the human

00:30:04.159 --> 00:30:05.119
 race, in you

00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:05.899
 and me of a

00:30:05.899 --> 00:30:06.559
 great king,

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:07.799
 the ancient

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:08.259
 king,

00:30:08.259 --> 00:30:09.640
 who did

00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:10.220
 rule with

00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:10.920
 such power

00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:12.079
 and wisdom

00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:12.980
 and compassion

00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:13.839
 and justice

00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:14.779
 and whose

00:30:14.779 --> 00:30:15.980
 glory shined

00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:16.579
 like the

00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:16.900
 sun.

00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:18.500
 So looking

00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:18.980
 at a few

00:30:18.980 --> 00:30:19.599
 things here,

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:20.319
 just some

00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:21.019
 connections to

00:30:21.019 --> 00:30:21.400
 David and

00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:21.579
 we're going

00:30:21.579 --> 00:30:21.859
 to wrap

00:30:21.859 --> 00:30:22.299
 it up and

00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:22.920
 you go

00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:23.099
 ahead and

00:30:23.099 --> 00:30:23.619
 turn in

00:30:23.619 --> 00:30:23.960
 your Bible

00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:24.559
 to Psalm

00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:25.960
 110.

00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:28.240
 Christ

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:29.400
 unites all

00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:29.960
 the people

00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:30.539
 of God.

00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:30.960
 This is

00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:31.359
 David,

00:30:31.980 --> 00:30:33.099
 united Judah

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:33.879
 and Israel

00:30:33.879 --> 00:30:34.539
 under one

00:30:34.539 --> 00:30:35.319
 single rule

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:36.920
 fulfilling God's

00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:37.379
 promise.

00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:39.220
 there was

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:40.000
 later division

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:40.680
 that reappeared

00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:41.420
 after Solomon

00:30:41.420 --> 00:30:42.900
 and Rehoboam

00:30:42.900 --> 00:30:43.240
 and his

00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:43.900
 successors.

00:30:44.600 --> 00:30:45.200
 Strife broke

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:46.280
 out again in

00:30:46.280 --> 00:30:46.740
 the nation.

00:30:47.340 --> 00:30:48.700
 So that points

00:30:48.700 --> 00:30:50.080
 forward for the

00:30:50.080 --> 00:30:51.280
 need for true

00:30:51.280 --> 00:30:52.680
 unity among God's

00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:53.040
 people.

00:30:53.740 --> 00:30:54.620
 So just as David

00:30:54.620 --> 00:30:55.280
 brought together

00:30:55.280 --> 00:30:55.820
 the nation,

00:30:56.040 --> 00:30:56.940
 God accomplishes

00:30:56.940 --> 00:30:58.720
 a greater lasting

00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.400
 unity of his

00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:01.360
 people under his

00:31:01.360 --> 00:31:02.260
 true anointed

00:31:02.260 --> 00:31:02.820
 king.

00:31:02.819 --> 00:31:04.419
 Christ brings

00:31:04.419 --> 00:31:05.819
 together all

00:31:05.819 --> 00:31:06.480
 peoples from

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:07.139
 all nations,

00:31:07.259 --> 00:31:08.019
 all tribes,

00:31:08.659 --> 00:31:09.419
 all tongues

00:31:09.419 --> 00:31:10.500
 under a single

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:12.519
 everlasting kingdom.

00:31:13.500 --> 00:31:14.220
 We know that

00:31:14.220 --> 00:31:14.899
 it says in

00:31:14.899 --> 00:31:15.539
 Galatians 3,

00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:16.179
 there's neither

00:31:16.179 --> 00:31:16.579
 Jew nor

00:31:16.579 --> 00:31:16.899
 Greek,

00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:18.299
 slave or free,

00:31:19.059 --> 00:31:19.559
 male or

00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:20.019
 female.

00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:21.399
 You are all

00:31:21.399 --> 00:31:22.879
 one in

00:31:22.879 --> 00:31:23.599
 Christ Jesus.

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:24.779
 And if you

00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:25.439
 are Christ,

00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:26.019
 then you are

00:31:26.019 --> 00:31:26.799
 Abraham's

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.439
 offspring,

00:31:28.439 --> 00:31:29.279
 heirs according

00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:30.159
 to the promise.

00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:31.720
 So all the

00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:32.420
 chaos and

00:31:32.420 --> 00:31:33.100
 division that

00:31:33.100 --> 00:31:33.740
 you see in

00:31:33.740 --> 00:31:34.180
 the world,

00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:35.560
 and even chaos

00:31:35.560 --> 00:31:36.279
 and division in

00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:36.860
 the church,

00:31:37.380 --> 00:31:38.100
 does that vex

00:31:38.100 --> 00:31:38.360
 you?

00:31:39.040 --> 00:31:39.779
 Does it bother

00:31:39.779 --> 00:31:40.060
 you?

00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:41.920
 Does it encourage

00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:42.580
 you to know

00:31:42.580 --> 00:31:44.000
 that God will

00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:44.759
 bring perfect

00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:46.259
 unity through

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:46.759
 the reigning

00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:47.720
 of the true

00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:48.080
 king?

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:50.360
 So God unites

00:31:50.360 --> 00:31:51.759
 his people under

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:52.259
 Christ.

00:31:53.060 --> 00:31:54.080
 Also, Christ

00:31:54.080 --> 00:31:55.060
 brings us near

00:31:55.060 --> 00:31:55.560
 to God.

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:56.240
 As we read,

00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:58.660
 we saw the

00:31:58.660 --> 00:31:59.540
 death of a

00:31:59.540 --> 00:31:59.940
 man who

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:00.299
 tried to

00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:00.700
 reach out

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:01.120
 and touch

00:32:01.120 --> 00:32:01.779
 the ark,

00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:03.259
 violating the

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:04.620
 holiness of

00:32:04.620 --> 00:32:05.440
 God's presence.

00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:06.960
 God's holiness

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:08.120
 destroys sinners.

00:32:08.779 --> 00:32:09.360
 It destroys

00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:10.840
 people like

00:32:10.840 --> 00:32:11.380
 you and I.

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:11.920
 He is too

00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:12.900
 pure to look

00:32:12.900 --> 00:32:13.539
 upon my

00:32:13.539 --> 00:32:14.100
 sin and

00:32:14.100 --> 00:32:14.700
 your sin.

00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:16.220
 We cannot

00:32:16.220 --> 00:32:17.240
 approach him

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:18.900
 unauthorized.

00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:20.880
 Yet, we

00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:21.480
 know there

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:22.059
 is God's

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:22.840
 presence alone

00:32:22.840 --> 00:32:23.380
 that gives

00:32:23.380 --> 00:32:24.160
 us life and

00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:24.500
 gives us

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:24.880
 blessing.

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:25.960
 So what do

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.299
 we do?

00:32:26.380 --> 00:32:26.680
 There's a

00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:27.019
 problem.

00:32:27.140 --> 00:32:27.559
 We need

00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:28.279
 God's presence,

00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:28.840
 but we can't

00:32:28.840 --> 00:32:29.059
 enter.

00:32:29.059 --> 00:32:30.099
 This

00:32:30.099 --> 00:32:30.819
 tension is

00:32:30.819 --> 00:32:31.960
 resolved only

00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:32.460
 when the

00:32:32.460 --> 00:32:32.879
 way to

00:32:32.879 --> 00:32:33.519
 approach God

00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:34.179
 is opened

00:32:34.179 --> 00:32:35.539
 through Christ

00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:35.879
 and his

00:32:35.879 --> 00:32:37.039
 work of

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:38.240
 purification on

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:39.059
 our behalf.

00:32:39.919 --> 00:32:40.679
 We all know

00:32:40.679 --> 00:32:41.220
 the text in

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:41.940
 Hebrews 10,

00:32:42.019 --> 00:32:42.619
 19 through

00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:43.379
 22, you can

00:32:43.379 --> 00:32:43.759
 write that

00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:44.139
 down.

00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:45.480
 It talks about

00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:45.919
 how we can

00:32:45.919 --> 00:32:46.440
 enter the

00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:47.339
 holy places

00:32:47.339 --> 00:32:48.839
 by the blood

00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:49.440
 of Christ,

00:32:49.619 --> 00:32:50.220
 the way that

00:32:50.220 --> 00:32:50.859
 he has opened

00:32:50.859 --> 00:32:51.399
 for us to

00:32:51.399 --> 00:32:51.899
 go into

00:32:51.899 --> 00:32:52.899
 God's presence,

00:32:53.579 --> 00:32:54.480
 making us

00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:56.059
 clean by

00:32:56.059 --> 00:32:56.659
 his blood.

00:32:57.659 --> 00:32:58.099
 That's

00:32:58.099 --> 00:32:58.679
 Hebrews 10,

00:32:58.740 --> 00:32:59.259
 19 through

00:32:59.259 --> 00:32:59.659
 22.

00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:01.059
 So if you're

00:33:01.059 --> 00:33:01.799
 frightened by

00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:02.179
 your own

00:33:02.179 --> 00:33:04.119
 sin, as I

00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:05.720
 am, you're

00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:06.079
 afraid that

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:06.500
 your own

00:33:06.500 --> 00:33:07.119
 sin would

00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:07.960
 destroy you,

00:33:09.099 --> 00:33:09.500
 that you

00:33:09.500 --> 00:33:09.740
 would be

00:33:09.740 --> 00:33:10.720
 utterly consumed

00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:11.200
 by the

00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:12.559
 holiness and

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.379
 righteousness of

00:33:13.379 --> 00:33:14.220
 God's presence,

00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:15.460
 as it

00:33:15.460 --> 00:33:16.299
 encourages you

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:16.819
 that you can

00:33:16.819 --> 00:33:18.019
 draw near in

00:33:18.019 --> 00:33:18.700
 Jesus and

00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:19.579
 through Jesus

00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:21.839
 alone into

00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:22.500
 his presence,

00:33:22.700 --> 00:33:23.159
 bringing you

00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:24.540
 life and

00:33:24.540 --> 00:33:24.920
 blessing.

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:27.860
 Christ also

00:33:27.860 --> 00:33:28.880
 subdues his

00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:29.300
 enemies.

00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:30.920
 As we read,

00:33:31.120 --> 00:33:31.800
 David is the

00:33:31.800 --> 00:33:32.500
 model warrior

00:33:32.500 --> 00:33:33.019
 king that

00:33:33.019 --> 00:33:33.620
 subdues all

00:33:33.620 --> 00:33:34.180
 the enemies

00:33:34.180 --> 00:33:34.740
 of God,

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:36.400
 bringing justice,

00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:38.500
 prefiguring the

00:33:38.500 --> 00:33:38.980
 work of

00:33:38.980 --> 00:33:40.440
 Christ the

00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:40.759
 king.

00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:42.360
 You can just

00:33:42.360 --> 00:33:43.080
 write this down

00:33:43.080 --> 00:33:43.580
 for the sake

00:33:43.580 --> 00:33:44.000
 of time.

00:33:44.120 --> 00:33:44.279
 Verse

00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:44.680
 Corinthians

00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:46.740
 15, 24

00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:47.400
 through 26,

00:33:47.600 --> 00:33:48.160
 it talks about

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.140
 how Christ

00:33:49.140 --> 00:33:50.380
 will come,

00:33:51.120 --> 00:33:52.100
 he will destroy

00:33:52.100 --> 00:33:53.060
 every rule and

00:33:53.059 --> 00:33:53.859
 every authority

00:33:53.859 --> 00:33:54.559
 and power.

00:33:55.379 --> 00:33:55.679
 And his

00:33:55.679 --> 00:33:57.659
 reign will

00:33:57.659 --> 00:33:58.279
 end when he

00:33:58.279 --> 00:33:58.679
 puts his

00:33:58.679 --> 00:34:01.339
 enemies underneath

00:34:01.339 --> 00:34:02.179
 his feet.

00:34:03.339 --> 00:34:03.700
 And this

00:34:03.700 --> 00:34:04.599
 brings us to

00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:05.460
 this psalm,

00:34:05.899 --> 00:34:07.059
 Psalm 110.

00:34:07.940 --> 00:34:08.420
 It's just

00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:09.119
 seven verses.

00:34:10.259 --> 00:34:10.699
 But listen,

00:34:12.139 --> 00:34:13.079
 this whole

00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:13.599
 thing could be

00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:14.219
 a sermon by

00:34:14.219 --> 00:34:14.699
 itself.

00:34:16.139 --> 00:34:17.559
 Psalm 110

00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:18.219
 is one of the

00:34:18.219 --> 00:34:19.199
 most overlooked,

00:34:20.219 --> 00:34:20.880
 underrated

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:22.639
 psalms in the

00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:23.379
 entire scripture.

00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:25.179
 It is quoted

00:34:25.179 --> 00:34:26.279
 no less than

00:34:26.279 --> 00:34:27.920
 27 times

00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:29.139
 by the New

00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:30.039
 Testament writers.

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:31.579
 And men like

00:34:31.579 --> 00:34:32.279
 John MacArthur,

00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:33.039
 John Piper,

00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:33.599
 they all say

00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:34.920
 this is a huge

00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:36.059
 psalm and the

00:34:36.059 --> 00:34:36.759
 story of

00:34:36.759 --> 00:34:37.179
 redemption.

00:34:38.219 --> 00:34:38.719
 And everything

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:39.460
 I just referred

00:34:39.460 --> 00:34:40.839
 to, Christ

00:34:40.839 --> 00:34:41.460
 uniting the

00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:42.099
 people, Christ

00:34:42.099 --> 00:34:42.739
 bringing us near

00:34:42.739 --> 00:34:43.619
 to God, Christ

00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:44.359
 subduing his

00:34:44.359 --> 00:34:44.859
 enemies,

00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:46.879
 bringing us all

00:34:46.879 --> 00:34:47.980
 together, is all

00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:49.000
 mentioned in this

00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:49.440
 psalm.

00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:50.800
 right?

00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:51.200
 That he

00:34:51.200 --> 00:34:52.220
 establishes his

00:34:52.220 --> 00:34:53.240
 everlasting city

00:34:53.240 --> 00:34:53.700
 in the same

00:34:53.700 --> 00:34:54.340
 way that David

00:34:54.340 --> 00:34:55.800
 established the

00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:56.039
 city.

00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:56.780
 So let's look at

00:34:56.780 --> 00:34:57.579
 Psalm 110

00:34:57.579 --> 00:34:58.920
 briefly.

00:34:59.119 --> 00:34:59.440
 It says,

00:35:00.420 --> 00:35:01.039
 this is David

00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:01.619
 writing, he

00:35:01.619 --> 00:35:01.800
 says,

00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:02.560
 the Lord says

00:35:02.560 --> 00:35:03.240
 to my Lord,

00:35:03.340 --> 00:35:03.920
 sit at my

00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:04.640
 right hand

00:35:04.640 --> 00:35:05.900
 until I make

00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:06.380
 your enemies

00:35:06.380 --> 00:35:07.180
 your footstool.

00:35:07.860 --> 00:35:08.740
 The Lord sends

00:35:08.740 --> 00:35:09.760
 forth from Zion

00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:10.860
 your mighty

00:35:10.860 --> 00:35:11.420
 scepter.

00:35:12.300 --> 00:35:13.080
 Rule in the

00:35:13.080 --> 00:35:13.760
 midst of your

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:14.320
 enemies.

00:35:15.180 --> 00:35:15.840
 Your people

00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:16.580
 will offer

00:35:16.580 --> 00:35:17.760
 themselves freely

00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:19.100
 on the day of

00:35:19.100 --> 00:35:19.900
 your power in

00:35:19.900 --> 00:35:20.760
 holy garments

00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:21.880
 from the

00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:22.700
 womb of the

00:35:22.700 --> 00:35:23.080
 morning.

00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:24.240
 The dew of

00:35:24.240 --> 00:35:24.800
 your youth

00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:26.140
 will be yours.

00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:27.980
 The Lord has

00:35:27.980 --> 00:35:28.680
 sworn and will

00:35:28.680 --> 00:35:29.480
 not change his

00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:29.880
 mind.

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:30.940
 You are a

00:35:30.940 --> 00:35:31.780
 priest forever

00:35:31.780 --> 00:35:32.320
 after the

00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:32.980
 order of

00:35:32.980 --> 00:35:33.740
 Melchizedek.

00:35:34.300 --> 00:35:35.119
 The Lord is

00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:35.660
 at your right

00:35:35.660 --> 00:35:36.119
 hand.

00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:37.280
 He will

00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:38.180
 shatter kings

00:35:38.180 --> 00:35:38.700
 on the day

00:35:38.700 --> 00:35:39.420
 of his wrath.

00:35:40.059 --> 00:35:40.400
 He will

00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:41.360
 execute judgment

00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:41.920
 among the

00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:42.420
 nations,

00:35:43.059 --> 00:35:43.500
 filling them

00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:44.039
 with corpses.

00:35:44.680 --> 00:35:45.119
 He will

00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:46.200
 shatter chiefs

00:35:46.200 --> 00:35:46.640
 over the

00:35:46.640 --> 00:35:47.400
 wide world.

00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:48.440
 He will

00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:49.280
 drink from

00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:49.740
 the brook

00:35:49.740 --> 00:35:50.440
 by the way.

00:35:51.160 --> 00:35:51.559
 Therefore,

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.480
 he will lift

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:53.180
 up his

00:35:53.180 --> 00:35:53.519
 head.

00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:55.679
 So very

00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:56.119
 quickly,

00:35:56.340 --> 00:35:57.159
 let's walk

00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:57.739
 through this.

00:35:58.420 --> 00:35:58.860
 We know

00:35:58.860 --> 00:35:59.340
 that David

00:35:59.340 --> 00:35:59.759
 is not

00:35:59.759 --> 00:36:00.519
 talking about

00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:01.139
 himself,

00:36:01.300 --> 00:36:01.759
 ultimately.

00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:02.920
 He was

00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:03.579
 never exalted

00:36:03.579 --> 00:36:04.119
 to God's

00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:04.619
 right hand,

00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:04.920
 and he

00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:05.679
 actually died.

00:36:05.739 --> 00:36:06.019
 He saw

00:36:06.019 --> 00:36:06.539
 corruption.

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:07.860
 So,

00:36:07.980 --> 00:36:08.599
 who is this

00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:09.239
 talking about?

00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:09.619
 It's pointing

00:36:09.619 --> 00:36:11.320
 forward a

00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:12.119
 prophecy of

00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:13.300
 the messianic

00:36:13.300 --> 00:36:13.679
 king,

00:36:14.259 --> 00:36:14.559
 Jesus,

00:36:14.699 --> 00:36:15.000
 to come.

00:36:15.059 --> 00:36:15.380
 Let's just

00:36:15.380 --> 00:36:15.639
 look at

00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:16.199
 verse 1.

00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:17.219
 The Lord

00:36:17.219 --> 00:36:17.800
 says to

00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:18.519
 my Lord,

00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:19.699
 that's the

00:36:19.699 --> 00:36:20.579
 sacred name

00:36:20.579 --> 00:36:21.280
 of God,

00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:22.840
 Yahweh,

00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:24.220
 with another

00:36:24.220 --> 00:36:24.860
 Hebrew word.

00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:25.180
 It says,

00:36:25.340 --> 00:36:26.120
 Yahweh said

00:36:26.120 --> 00:36:26.620
 to my

00:36:26.620 --> 00:36:27.500
 Adonai,

00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:28.960
 or God

00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:29.780
 himself said

00:36:29.780 --> 00:36:30.200
 to my

00:36:30.200 --> 00:36:30.720
 sovereign

00:36:30.720 --> 00:36:31.300
 one,

00:36:31.900 --> 00:36:32.360
 sit at

00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:32.960
 my right

00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:33.380
 hand.

00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:34.480
 So this

00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:34.840
 is a

00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:35.680
 conversation

00:36:35.680 --> 00:36:36.420
 between the

00:36:36.420 --> 00:36:36.880
 Godhead,

00:36:36.940 --> 00:36:37.340
 between the

00:36:37.340 --> 00:36:37.800
 Father and

00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:38.280
 the Son,

00:36:39.300 --> 00:36:40.140
 namely between

00:36:40.140 --> 00:36:41.640
 God himself

00:36:41.640 --> 00:36:42.140
 and the

00:36:42.140 --> 00:36:43.320
 one he

00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:44.280
 will appoint,

00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:45.300
 which is

00:36:45.300 --> 00:36:46.480
 actually David's

00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:47.019
 Lord.

00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:48.079
 So you

00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:48.360
 could be

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:48.980
 paraphrased

00:36:48.980 --> 00:36:49.960
 as Yahweh

00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:50.539
 said to

00:36:50.539 --> 00:36:51.300
 David's

00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:51.900
 Adonai.

00:36:51.900 --> 00:36:53.539
 sit at

00:36:53.539 --> 00:36:53.840
 my

00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:54.220
 right

00:36:54.220 --> 00:36:54.780
 hand.

00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:55.940
 The

00:36:55.940 --> 00:36:56.160
 right

00:36:56.160 --> 00:36:56.680
 hand is

00:36:56.680 --> 00:36:57.200
 a place

00:36:57.200 --> 00:36:57.880
 of power,

00:36:58.680 --> 00:36:59.220
 authority,

00:37:00.160 --> 00:37:01.200
 and exaltation,

00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:02.180
 and honor.

00:37:03.380 --> 00:37:03.900
 Also,

00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:04.960
 the right

00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:05.360
 hand is

00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:05.740
 a place

00:37:05.740 --> 00:37:05.900
 of

00:37:05.900 --> 00:37:06.700
 subordination,

00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:08.019
 the Son

00:37:08.019 --> 00:37:08.720
 underneath

00:37:08.720 --> 00:37:10.300
 the Father's

00:37:10.300 --> 00:37:10.840
 authority.

00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:12.200
 So this

00:37:12.200 --> 00:37:12.380
 is a

00:37:12.380 --> 00:37:12.980
 conversation

00:37:12.980 --> 00:37:13.500
 between the

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:14.039
 Father and

00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:14.519
 the Son.

00:37:15.099 --> 00:37:15.519
 Yet,

00:37:15.860 --> 00:37:16.340
 even the

00:37:16.340 --> 00:37:16.720
 Son is

00:37:16.720 --> 00:37:17.220
 subordinate,

00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:18.240
 God has

00:37:18.240 --> 00:37:18.960
 granted him

00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:19.440
 the seat

00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:20.139
 of cosmic

00:37:20.139 --> 00:37:20.780
 authority.

00:37:20.780 --> 00:37:21.680
 We see

00:37:21.680 --> 00:37:21.960
 that in

00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:22.360
 Hebrews

00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:23.260
 chapter 1

00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:23.820
 verse 3.

00:37:24.420 --> 00:37:24.640
 It says,

00:37:24.860 --> 00:37:25.220
 after making

00:37:25.220 --> 00:37:25.940
 purifications

00:37:25.940 --> 00:37:26.800
 for sin,

00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:27.840
 he sat

00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:28.340
 down at

00:37:28.340 --> 00:37:28.700
 the right

00:37:28.700 --> 00:37:29.040
 hand of

00:37:29.040 --> 00:37:29.580
 the majesty

00:37:29.580 --> 00:37:30.320
 on high.

00:37:31.560 --> 00:37:31.860
 You see

00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:32.040
 in the

00:37:32.040 --> 00:37:32.560
 next part,

00:37:32.720 --> 00:37:33.260
 next verse,

00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:33.960
 until you

00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:34.560
 make your

00:37:34.560 --> 00:37:35.280
 enemies

00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:36.840
 your footstool.

00:37:38.080 --> 00:37:38.820
 An ancient

00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:39.420
 figure of

00:37:39.420 --> 00:37:41.260
 speech denoting

00:37:41.260 --> 00:37:41.760
 how a

00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:42.480
 hostile,

00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:44.000
 resistant

00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:44.800
 enemy is

00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:45.720
 finally brought

00:37:45.720 --> 00:37:46.180
 low,

00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:47.580
 finally

00:37:47.580 --> 00:37:48.340
 conquered,

00:37:48.340 --> 00:37:49.539
 and humbled,

00:37:50.100 --> 00:37:50.820
 forced to

00:37:50.820 --> 00:37:51.280
 surrender.

00:37:51.980 --> 00:37:52.840
 He submits

00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:53.640
 to the

00:37:53.640 --> 00:37:54.820
 conqueror.

00:37:54.820 --> 00:37:55.220
 That's what

00:37:55.220 --> 00:37:55.620
 we see

00:37:55.620 --> 00:37:55.960
 here.

00:37:56.900 --> 00:37:57.200
 In verse

00:37:57.200 --> 00:37:57.579
 2,

00:37:58.380 --> 00:37:58.800
 it says

00:37:58.800 --> 00:37:59.100
 that our

00:37:59.100 --> 00:37:59.760
 Lord Jesus

00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:00.600
 sends forth

00:38:00.600 --> 00:38:01.420
 from Zion

00:38:01.420 --> 00:38:02.400
 his mighty

00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:02.960
 scepter.

00:38:03.620 --> 00:38:04.300
 Rule in

00:38:04.300 --> 00:38:04.800
 the midst

00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:05.240
 of your

00:38:05.240 --> 00:38:05.640
 enemies.

00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:07.340
 Christ

00:38:07.340 --> 00:38:07.900
 will come

00:38:07.900 --> 00:38:08.260
 back,

00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:08.820
 not as a

00:38:08.820 --> 00:38:09.539
 baby meek

00:38:09.539 --> 00:38:09.960
 and mild,

00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:10.620
 but as a

00:38:10.620 --> 00:38:11.120
 conquering

00:38:11.120 --> 00:38:12.500
 king who

00:38:12.500 --> 00:38:13.400
 will crush

00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:15.079
 and destroy

00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:16.619
 all who

00:38:16.619 --> 00:38:17.380
 have resisted

00:38:17.380 --> 00:38:18.539
 him and

00:38:18.539 --> 00:38:19.619
 rejected his

00:38:19.619 --> 00:38:20.360
 peace terms.

00:38:21.680 --> 00:38:22.119
 In verse

00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:22.980
 5 and 6,

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:24.760
 when we see

00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:25.119
 that the

00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:26.059
 Messiah returns,

00:38:26.160 --> 00:38:26.360
 he will

00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:27.200
 shatter kings

00:38:27.200 --> 00:38:27.639
 on the day

00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:27.900
 of his

00:38:27.900 --> 00:38:29.519
 wrath and

00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:30.300
 chiefs over

00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:30.880
 the wide

00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:31.380
 earth.

00:38:31.860 --> 00:38:32.360
 So all

00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:33.059
 those who

00:38:33.059 --> 00:38:34.380
 oppose God,

00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:35.800
 who oppose

00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:36.660
 his Messiah,

00:38:37.300 --> 00:38:37.820
 all the

00:38:37.820 --> 00:38:38.460
 kings and

00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:39.079
 nations of

00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:39.480
 the world

00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:40.160
 who reject

00:38:40.160 --> 00:38:40.780
 Christ,

00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:41.840
 he will

00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:42.240
 shatter

00:38:42.240 --> 00:38:42.599
 them.

00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:43.460
 They will

00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:44.000
 be brought

00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:45.239
 to judgment.

00:38:46.299 --> 00:38:46.539
 He will

00:38:46.539 --> 00:38:47.259
 judge all

00:38:47.259 --> 00:38:47.739
 enemies,

00:38:47.900 --> 00:38:48.559
 both visible

00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:49.299
 and invisible.

00:38:50.380 --> 00:38:50.839
 But yet,

00:38:50.940 --> 00:38:51.299
 we see the

00:38:51.299 --> 00:38:52.279
 contrast in

00:38:52.279 --> 00:38:52.920
 verse 3.

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:54.179
 It says that

00:38:54.179 --> 00:38:54.940
 many on the

00:38:54.940 --> 00:38:56.079
 earth who

00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:56.799
 love Christ,

00:38:56.900 --> 00:38:57.440
 belong to

00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:57.880
 Christ,

00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.500
 who are

00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:59.119
 born again,

00:38:59.219 --> 00:38:59.539
 who love

00:38:59.539 --> 00:39:00.119
 the gospel,

00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:01.659
 they will

00:39:01.659 --> 00:39:02.440
 offer themselves

00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:03.940
 freely on

00:39:03.940 --> 00:39:04.699
 the day of

00:39:04.699 --> 00:39:05.299
 his power.

00:39:05.759 --> 00:39:06.319
 When the

00:39:06.319 --> 00:39:06.699
 church,

00:39:06.799 --> 00:39:07.360
 the bride of

00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:07.940
 Christ that

00:39:07.940 --> 00:39:08.339
 he bought

00:39:08.339 --> 00:39:08.719
 with his

00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:09.500
 own blood,

00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:10.400
 freely

00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:10.839
 offered

00:39:10.839 --> 00:39:11.559
 themselves

00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:12.319
 in

00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:12.760
 joy,

00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:13.700
 inexpressible,

00:39:14.100 --> 00:39:14.760
 because they

00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:14.960
 have been

00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:15.660
 made clean

00:39:15.660 --> 00:39:16.200
 and pure

00:39:16.200 --> 00:39:16.700
 by the

00:39:16.700 --> 00:39:17.260
 blood of

00:39:17.260 --> 00:39:17.440
 that

00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:17.880
 Messiah.

00:39:19.059 --> 00:39:19.700
 Verse 4,

00:39:20.460 --> 00:39:20.960
 The Lord

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:21.580
 has sworn

00:39:21.580 --> 00:39:21.880
 and will

00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:22.460
 not change

00:39:22.460 --> 00:39:22.960
 his mind.

00:39:23.600 --> 00:39:23.800
 You are

00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:24.320
 a priest

00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:24.800
 forever

00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:25.400
 after the

00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:26.039
 order of

00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:26.780
 Melchizedek.

00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:28.580
 Our God

00:39:28.580 --> 00:39:29.080
 remains

00:39:29.080 --> 00:39:29.800
 unchanging.

00:39:29.940 --> 00:39:30.140
 He is

00:39:30.140 --> 00:39:30.559
 committed

00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:31.660
 to this

00:39:31.660 --> 00:39:31.940
 saving

00:39:31.940 --> 00:39:32.360
 purpose.

00:39:32.500 --> 00:39:32.700
 Nothing

00:39:32.700 --> 00:39:33.059
 is going

00:39:33.059 --> 00:39:33.500
 to change

00:39:33.500 --> 00:39:33.700
 that.

00:39:33.780 --> 00:39:33.980
 Nothing

00:39:33.980 --> 00:39:34.580
 can stop

00:39:34.580 --> 00:39:35.580
 him from

00:39:35.580 --> 00:39:35.880
 bringing

00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:36.320
 about his

00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:36.840
 redemptive

00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:38.039
 purpose in

00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:38.660
 sending this

00:39:38.660 --> 00:39:39.420
 true king.

00:39:39.420 --> 00:39:39.460
 king.

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.440
 Yet,

00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:41.820
 we also

00:39:41.820 --> 00:39:43.159
 see that

00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:43.440
 we won't

00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:43.940
 only have

00:39:43.940 --> 00:39:44.539
 a king,

00:39:45.340 --> 00:39:45.780
 we will

00:39:45.780 --> 00:39:46.280
 have a

00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:46.860
 kingly

00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:47.579
 priest,

00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:48.420
 an eternal

00:39:48.420 --> 00:39:49.019
 priest,

00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:50.159
 representing

00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:50.860
 us before

00:39:50.860 --> 00:39:51.360
 God and

00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:51.800
 giving us

00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:53.380
 access to

00:39:53.380 --> 00:39:54.019
 his holy

00:39:54.019 --> 00:39:54.740
 presence,

00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:55.920
 drawing us

00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:56.519
 near to

00:39:56.519 --> 00:39:56.820
 God's

00:39:56.820 --> 00:39:57.260
 presence.

00:39:58.139 --> 00:39:58.619
 And finally,

00:39:58.800 --> 00:39:59.099
 in verse

00:39:59.099 --> 00:39:59.480
 7,

00:40:00.740 --> 00:40:01.159
 you see

00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:01.900
 that Christ,

00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:03.139
 check out

00:40:03.139 --> 00:40:03.680
 verse 7,

00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:04.340
 Christ will

00:40:04.340 --> 00:40:05.760
 drink from

00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:06.280
 the brook

00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:07.099
 by the way,

00:40:07.099 --> 00:40:08.380
 and therefore

00:40:08.380 --> 00:40:08.779
 he will

00:40:08.779 --> 00:40:09.139
 lift up

00:40:09.139 --> 00:40:09.599
 his head.

00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:11.000
 So this

00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:11.380
 is an

00:40:11.380 --> 00:40:11.839
 ancient

00:40:11.839 --> 00:40:13.440
 image of

00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:14.119
 military

00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:15.159
 prowess.

00:40:15.980 --> 00:40:17.000
 He stops

00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:17.679
 to refresh

00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:18.440
 himself by

00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:19.039
 a cool

00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:20.440
 stream of

00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:20.839
 water.

00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:22.139
 It's a

00:40:22.139 --> 00:40:22.619
 picture of

00:40:22.619 --> 00:40:22.920
 having

00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:23.719
 satisfaction

00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:24.219
 with a

00:40:24.219 --> 00:40:24.539
 mission

00:40:24.539 --> 00:40:25.279
 accomplished,

00:40:25.779 --> 00:40:27.339
 yet a

00:40:27.339 --> 00:40:27.980
 full and

00:40:27.980 --> 00:40:28.779
 final goal

00:40:28.779 --> 00:40:29.559
 to come.

00:40:30.279 --> 00:40:30.599
 And that

00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:30.900
 is what

00:40:30.900 --> 00:40:31.360
 Jesus is

00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:31.659
 doing.

00:40:31.739 --> 00:40:32.039
 He is

00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:32.599
 conquering.

00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:34.039
 God's

00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:34.579
 purpose

00:40:34.579 --> 00:40:36.019
 prevails.

00:40:36.019 --> 00:40:37.460
 In

00:40:37.460 --> 00:40:37.800
 closing,

00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:38.099
 I'm going

00:40:38.099 --> 00:40:38.539
 to read

00:40:38.539 --> 00:40:39.099
 a quote

00:40:39.099 --> 00:40:39.980
 by Calvin

00:40:39.980 --> 00:40:40.500
 that's

00:40:40.500 --> 00:40:40.679
 his

00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:41.280
 commentary

00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:42.920
 on Psalm

00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:43.519
 110.

00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:44.920
 And I

00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:45.280
 hope that

00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:45.679
 this is

00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:46.239
 encouraging

00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:46.659
 to you

00:40:46.659 --> 00:40:47.920
 and you're

00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:49.219
 putting your

00:40:49.219 --> 00:40:49.860
 faith in

00:40:49.860 --> 00:40:50.139
 the true

00:40:50.139 --> 00:40:50.539
 king,

00:40:51.059 --> 00:40:51.440
 especially

00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:51.739
 if you

00:40:51.739 --> 00:40:52.360
 are fearful.

00:40:53.500 --> 00:40:54.360
 From this

00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:54.800
 psalm,

00:40:55.980 --> 00:40:56.420
 he says,

00:40:56.619 --> 00:40:57.119
 from this,

00:40:57.639 --> 00:40:58.059
 let us

00:40:58.059 --> 00:40:58.840
 learn that

00:40:58.840 --> 00:40:59.139
 however

00:40:59.139 --> 00:40:59.759
 numerous

00:40:59.759 --> 00:41:00.219
 those

00:41:00.219 --> 00:41:00.599
 enemies

00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:01.340
 may be

00:41:01.340 --> 00:41:02.000
 who

00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:02.619
 conspire

00:41:02.619 --> 00:41:03.019
 against

00:41:03.019 --> 00:41:03.280
 the

00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:03.599
 Son of

00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:04.000
 God

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:04.739
 and

00:41:04.739 --> 00:41:05.119
 attempt

00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:05.340
 the

00:41:05.340 --> 00:41:05.880
 subversion

00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:06.119
 of

00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:06.320
 his

00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:06.760
 kingdom,

00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:07.840
 all

00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:08.139
 will

00:41:08.139 --> 00:41:08.380
 be

00:41:08.380 --> 00:41:09.079
 unavailing.

00:41:09.739 --> 00:41:10.019
 For

00:41:10.019 --> 00:41:10.260
 they

00:41:10.260 --> 00:41:10.480
 shall

00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:10.900
 never

00:41:10.900 --> 00:41:11.599
 prevail

00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:12.019
 against

00:41:12.019 --> 00:41:12.559
 God's

00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:13.019
 immutable

00:41:13.019 --> 00:41:13.579
 purpose,

00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:14.820
 but on

00:41:14.820 --> 00:41:14.980
 the

00:41:14.980 --> 00:41:15.579
 contrary,

00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:16.460
 they

00:41:16.460 --> 00:41:16.900
 shall,

00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:17.300
 by the

00:41:17.300 --> 00:41:17.579
 greatness

00:41:17.579 --> 00:41:18.059
 of his

00:41:18.059 --> 00:41:18.579
 power,

00:41:19.340 --> 00:41:19.860
 be laid

00:41:19.860 --> 00:41:20.659
 prostrate

00:41:20.659 --> 00:41:20.940
 at

00:41:20.940 --> 00:41:21.679
 Christ's

00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:21.980
 feet.

00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:23.260
 However

00:41:23.260 --> 00:41:23.659
 much

00:41:23.659 --> 00:41:24.179
 the world

00:41:24.179 --> 00:41:24.940
 may rage

00:41:24.940 --> 00:41:25.239
 against

00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:25.760
 Christ,

00:41:26.420 --> 00:41:26.719
 it will

00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:27.099
 never

00:41:27.099 --> 00:41:27.500
 be able

00:41:27.500 --> 00:41:28.019
 to hurl

00:41:28.019 --> 00:41:28.340
 him

00:41:28.340 --> 00:41:28.760
 from the

00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:29.000
 right

00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:29.480
 hand

00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:30.440
 of the

00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:30.780
 Father.

00:41:31.780 --> 00:41:32.320
 Moreover,

00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:33.860
 as he

00:41:33.860 --> 00:41:34.320
 does not

00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:34.720
 reign on

00:41:34.720 --> 00:41:35.200
 his own

00:41:35.200 --> 00:41:35.640
 account,

00:41:36.200 --> 00:41:36.660
 but for

00:41:36.660 --> 00:41:36.980
 our

00:41:36.980 --> 00:41:37.660
 salvation,

00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:39.200
 we may

00:41:39.200 --> 00:41:40.039
 rest assured

00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:40.880
 that we

00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:41.320
 will be

00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:41.880
 protected

00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:42.760
 and preserved

00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:44.180
 from all

00:41:44.180 --> 00:41:45.680
 ills under

00:41:45.680 --> 00:41:46.780
 the guardianship

00:41:46.780 --> 00:41:47.200
 of this

00:41:47.200 --> 00:41:47.840
 invincible

00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:48.580
 king.

00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:50.300
 This

00:41:50.300 --> 00:41:50.700
 commentary

00:41:50.700 --> 00:41:51.340
 on Psalm

00:41:51.340 --> 00:41:51.720
 10.

00:41:52.500 --> 00:41:52.820
 So we

00:41:52.820 --> 00:41:53.280
 were built,

00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:53.559
 we were

00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:54.220
 made to

00:41:54.220 --> 00:41:55.500
 submit to

00:41:55.500 --> 00:41:56.140
 that king,

00:41:56.240 --> 00:41:56.620
 to stand

00:41:56.620 --> 00:41:57.260
 before him,

00:41:57.380 --> 00:41:58.000
 adore him,

00:41:58.140 --> 00:41:58.760
 serve him,

00:41:59.360 --> 00:41:59.880
 and know

00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:00.400
 him and be

00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:01.180
 ruled by

00:42:01.180 --> 00:42:01.620
 him.

00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:02.940
 The Bible

00:42:02.940 --> 00:42:03.500
 says that

00:42:03.500 --> 00:42:03.780
 there is

00:42:03.780 --> 00:42:04.480
 a king

00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:04.820
 that is

00:42:04.820 --> 00:42:05.580
 above all

00:42:05.580 --> 00:42:06.140
 the kings

00:42:06.140 --> 00:42:06.480
 of the

00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:06.820
 earth.

00:42:07.539 --> 00:42:07.860
 He is

00:42:07.860 --> 00:42:08.260
 a king

00:42:08.260 --> 00:42:09.160
 behind all

00:42:09.160 --> 00:42:09.680
 the legends

00:42:09.680 --> 00:42:10.380
 and tales.

00:42:11.380 --> 00:42:11.720
 And when

00:42:11.720 --> 00:42:12.280
 the rightful

00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:13.380
 king reigns,

00:42:14.120 --> 00:42:14.860
 peace and

00:42:14.860 --> 00:42:15.460
 prosperity

00:42:15.460 --> 00:42:17.019
 will return

00:42:17.019 --> 00:42:17.760
 to the

00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:18.120
 world.

00:42:18.900 --> 00:42:19.340
 He is

00:42:19.340 --> 00:42:19.680
 the king

00:42:19.680 --> 00:42:20.120
 of kings,

00:42:20.220 --> 00:42:20.500
 the Lord

00:42:20.500 --> 00:42:20.880
 of lords,

00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:21.400
 the true

00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:22.800
 son of

00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:23.220
 David,

00:42:23.940 --> 00:42:24.500
 the true

00:42:24.500 --> 00:42:24.980
 son of

00:42:24.980 --> 00:42:25.380
 God.

00:42:25.460 --> 00:42:25.500
 He is

00:42:25.500 --> 00:42:25.940
 a come,

00:42:26.820 --> 00:42:27.240
 follow

00:42:27.240 --> 00:42:27.620
 him,

00:42:28.120 --> 00:42:28.360
 worship

00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:28.780
 him.

00:42:29.539 --> 00:42:30.039
 Many of

00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:30.380
 us have

00:42:30.380 --> 00:42:30.860
 made the

00:42:30.860 --> 00:42:31.180
 son of

00:42:31.180 --> 00:42:31.700
 David our

00:42:31.700 --> 00:42:32.059
 king,

00:42:33.120 --> 00:42:33.480
 submitting

00:42:33.480 --> 00:42:33.860
 to his

00:42:33.860 --> 00:42:34.500
 lordship

00:42:34.500 --> 00:42:35.740
 as our

00:42:35.740 --> 00:42:36.240
 savior.

00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:37.519
 And if

00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:37.960
 you haven't

00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:38.240
 yet,

00:42:38.340 --> 00:42:38.700
 come and

00:42:38.700 --> 00:42:39.140
 kneel before

00:42:39.140 --> 00:42:39.640
 this king,

00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:40.180
 kneel before

00:42:40.180 --> 00:42:40.780
 the cross,

00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:41.880
 and be

00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:42.320
 saved.

00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:43.600
 Just join

00:42:43.600 --> 00:42:43.920
 me in a

00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:44.280
 word of

00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:44.519
 prayer.
