00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.520
 We're in 2 Samuel chapter 7 today.

00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:10.279
 Well, as you're turning to 2 Samuel 7,

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.759
 I'll explain what series we are in right now.

00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.859
 So, we finish going through the gospel according to John.

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.980
 We begin a shorter series on covenant theology,

00:00:24.699 --> 00:00:25.940
 seeing the divine covenants,

00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.100
 when God has sworn and made a vow to humans.

00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:31.620
 We saw the covenant God made with Adam,

00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.100
 the covenant God made through Noah with all of creation.

00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:39.520
 We saw the covenant the Lord made with Abraham, with Moses.

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.460
 There are two more covenants left.

00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:45.880
 Then we paused after Moses, and we had eight weeks in the Psalms.

00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:48.880
 So, we finished with Psalm 16 last week.

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:50.859
 We're picking up on covenant theology.

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:53.219
 The last two covenants, do you know what they are?

00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:55.500
 The covenant God made with David,

00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:59.079
 and then finally, the new covenant in Jesus Christ.

00:00:59.299 --> 00:01:01.719
 We spent two weeks on each covenant.

00:01:01.980 --> 00:01:04.879
 So, this is the Davidic covenant part one.

00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:06.439
 Next week, open air.

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.900
 The Davidic covenant part two.

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:09.739
 Pray for me.

00:01:10.180 --> 00:01:12.299
 And then, we'll be the new covenant.

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.159
 The covenant the Lord made through Jesus Christ for two weeks.

00:01:15.379 --> 00:01:17.359
 After that, we'll begin in the book of the Bible,

00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.560
 and I'll share more about that with you later.

00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.739
 For a bit of review to set up the context here of today's sermon text,

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.640
 the Abrahamic covenant promised a realm and a people for God's kingdom.

00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:35.680
 The Mosaic covenant provided God's law for that kingdom.

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:44.160
 Now, in the Davidic covenant, God is promising a human king over his kingdom.

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:52.280
 God establishes purpose over all of creation by giving to the first federal head, Adam,

00:01:52.580 --> 00:01:55.020
 dominion over all that God had made.

00:01:56.100 --> 00:02:02.460
 And now, it's going to reach a new stage of progressive history leading up to that final fulfillment

00:02:02.460 --> 00:02:03.860
 of God's original promise.

00:02:03.859 --> 00:02:06.640
 Who will be the next federal head, the new Adam?

00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.620
 Paul calls him the second Adam, the new creation, the firstborn.

00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:13.120
 And that will be our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.500
 But the promise to David that you'll see today sets that stage.

00:02:16.580 --> 00:02:17.319
 It tees it up.

00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.840
 And that's what the Messianic promises are fulfilled,

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.000
 fulfilling this that we'll read today.

00:02:24.139 --> 00:02:24.680
 All right.

00:02:24.979 --> 00:02:26.539
 Well, as we read God's word,

00:02:27.079 --> 00:02:33.520
 I do so believing this is God's inspired, inerrant, infallible, clear, and sufficient word.

00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:36.360
 It's God's very own word for you, his people.

00:02:37.880 --> 00:02:40.340
 So after I'm done reading, I'll say this is the word of God.

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.900
 If you receive it that way, you can say thanks be to God.

00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:48.200
 2 Samuel chapter 7.

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.939
 I'm going to read verses 8 through 16.

00:02:51.939 --> 00:03:02.579
 Now, therefore, thus shall you say to my servant David.

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.020
 This is the Lord instructing the prophet Nathan.

00:03:06.359 --> 00:03:08.039
 Thus says the Lord of hosts,

00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:14.780
 I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep to be ruler over my people, over Israel.

00:03:15.459 --> 00:03:17.819
 And I have been with you wherever you have gone,

00:03:18.099 --> 00:03:21.359
 and have cut off all your enemies from before you,

00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:26.699
 and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on earth.

00:03:27.419 --> 00:03:31.239
 Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people Israel,

00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.980
 and I will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own,

00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:40.700
 and move no more, nor shall their sons of wickedness oppress them any more,

00:03:41.260 --> 00:03:46.200
 as previously, since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel,

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:50.640
 and have caused you to rest from all your enemies.

00:03:51.700 --> 00:03:55.360
 Also the Lord tells you that he will make you a house.

00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.220
 When your days are fulfilled, and you rest with your fathers,

00:03:59.420 --> 00:04:01.420
 I will set up your seed after you,

00:04:02.100 --> 00:04:03.440
 who will come from your body,

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.700
 and I will establish his kingdom.

00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:09.820
 He shall build a house for my name,

00:04:10.100 --> 00:04:13.960
 and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:15.940
 Verse 14.

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.900
 I will be his father, and he shall be my son.

00:04:20.780 --> 00:04:22.180
 If he commits iniquity,

00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:25.259
 I will chasten him with the rod of men,

00:04:25.579 --> 00:04:27.420
 and with the blows of the sons of men.

00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:30.120
 But my mercy shall not depart from him,

00:04:30.420 --> 00:04:31.759
 as I took it from Saul,

00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.199
 whom I removed from before you.

00:04:34.780 --> 00:04:36.600
 And your house and your kingdom

00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.100
 shall be established forever before you.

00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.660
 Your throne shall be established forever.

00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:45.680
 This is the word of the Lord.

00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:48.079
 Thanks be to God.

00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:48.699
 You may be seated.

00:04:48.699 --> 00:05:00.899
 Let's pray.

00:05:00.899 --> 00:05:12.379
 O Lord Jesus,

00:05:12.799 --> 00:05:14.079
 in your glorified body,

00:05:14.459 --> 00:05:15.819
 you walked with your disciples.

00:05:17.099 --> 00:05:19.560
 You walked on the road to Emmaus.

00:05:20.539 --> 00:05:22.759
 And you opened up all of the scriptures,

00:05:22.939 --> 00:05:25.679
 and you showed how they all point to you.

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.900
 And the power of the word of God,

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.379
 through the living Jesus Christ,

00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:34.560
 was ministered to those disciples in their heart.

00:05:35.579 --> 00:05:37.500
 They thought back on what that felt like.

00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:38.439
 They said,

00:05:38.579 --> 00:05:41.560
 Oh, did our hearts not burn within us?

00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:43.439
 And we pray, Lord,

00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:45.019
 that you, Jesus Christ,

00:05:45.180 --> 00:05:46.399
 the living word of God,

00:05:46.939 --> 00:05:48.480
 that you will preach to your people.

00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:51.019
 We pray that your Holy Spirit

00:05:51.019 --> 00:05:53.560
 will apply your truth to our hearts.

00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.639
 I pray that you'll guard my lips.

00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.740
 I pray that you'll guard the ears of your people.

00:05:58.480 --> 00:05:59.959
 Anything that comes out of my mouth

00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:01.399
 that's not pleasing to you, Lord,

00:06:01.459 --> 00:06:02.699
 may it just fall to the ground

00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:04.139
 and blow away like the dust.

00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:05.399
 But Lord,

00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:09.899
 any truth of how your word points to Jesus Christ,

00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.439
 how all of God's promises find your yes

00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.300
 and their amen in Jesus,

00:06:14.860 --> 00:06:16.639
 we pray that you'll make that to burn

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.180
 in the hearts of your people.

00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:20.040
 By the power of your Holy Spirit,

00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.300
 we ask for your glory.

00:06:21.939 --> 00:06:22.199
 Amen.

00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.579
 Quote,

00:06:27.939 --> 00:06:29.780
 The king must die

00:06:29.780 --> 00:06:32.220
 that the nation may live.

00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:38.100
 Those were the words of Maximilien Robespierre.

00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.579
 He was one of the radical revolutionaries

00:06:42.579 --> 00:06:43.800
 in the French Revolution.

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.220
 The king must die

00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:48.259
 that the nation may live.

00:06:48.259 --> 00:06:51.459
 The message of the French Revolution

00:06:51.459 --> 00:06:53.800
 was liberty for the oppressed.

00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:55.759
 And in his mind,

00:06:55.860 --> 00:06:57.139
 if there's no king,

00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:58.860
 then we can have liberty.

00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:02.000
 Because liberty equates to having no rules,

00:07:02.139 --> 00:07:02.639
 no law.

00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.639
 And that's the way the world thinks.

00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.599
 No rules equals happiness.

00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:13.260
 Well, if you look at what happened in the French Revolution,

00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.480
 is Robespierre was the ringleader for the reign of terror.

00:07:18.760 --> 00:07:20.320
 If you thought it was bad,

00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:22.060
 under the corrupt monarchy,

00:07:23.140 --> 00:07:25.660
 it got much worse during the reign of terror.

00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:28.640
 An entire class of people

00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:29.980
 were lined up

00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:31.040
 and took their turn

00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.220
 at the guillotine.

00:07:33.660 --> 00:07:34.260
 No king,

00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:35.700
 no rules

00:07:35.700 --> 00:07:38.280
 does not lead to happiness.

00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:39.460
 It leads to chaos.

00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.780
 It leads to a philosophy of might

00:07:42.780 --> 00:07:43.840
 makes right,

00:07:44.340 --> 00:07:46.379
 which leads to abuse

00:07:46.379 --> 00:07:47.620
 and violence.

00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:50.800
 In today's sermon text,

00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:51.920
 we heard a reference

00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.180
 to the time of the judges

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:54.660
 before Saul and David

00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:56.399
 became the first kings over Israel.

00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:58.459
 In the book of Judges,

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.720
 it ends with this assessment of the nation.

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:03.740
 Judges 21-25.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.980
 Everyone did what was right

00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:08.019
 in his own eyes.

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:08.459
 Why?

00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:11.199
 Because there was no king in the land.

00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.120
 So, beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

00:08:15.780 --> 00:08:16.899
 my message to you today

00:08:16.899 --> 00:08:18.000
 as we look at the promises

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.199
 God made to David.

00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:21.919
 It's that you need a king.

00:08:23.339 --> 00:08:25.819
 You and I need a king.

00:08:27.659 --> 00:08:28.899
 My first point is

00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:30.759
 that God promised

00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.199
 a glorious kingdom

00:08:32.199 --> 00:08:34.819
 belonging to a great king.

00:08:35.319 --> 00:08:36.220
 I want to walk through

00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:38.559
 pretty much this entire sermon text

00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:39.980
 and simply point that out.

00:08:40.459 --> 00:08:42.299
 God promised a glorious kingdom

00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:44.340
 to a great king.

00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:47.340
 I have six observations here.

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:47.879
 Number one,

00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:49.720
 God displays his glory

00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.080
 by promising gracious blessings

00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:52.860
 to a nobody.

00:08:53.139 --> 00:08:54.180
 Look at verse 8.

00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:57.399
 God takes a nobody like David

00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.399
 and he gives him

00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.340
 these glorious promises of grace.

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:03.840
 Look how God reminds David

00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:04.700
 of where he came from

00:09:04.700 --> 00:09:05.280
 in verse 8.

00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:06.379
 Now therefore,

00:09:06.899 --> 00:09:08.019
 thus shall you say

00:09:08.019 --> 00:09:09.360
 to my servant David,

00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:11.000
 thus says the Lord of hosts,

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.179
 I took you from the sheepfold,

00:09:13.699 --> 00:09:14.980
 from following the sheep,

00:09:15.500 --> 00:09:16.360
 to be the ruler

00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.379
 of my people Israel.

00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:20.679
 David,

00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.480
 I will get all the glory

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.100
 in what I do through you.

00:09:25.179 --> 00:09:25.480
 David,

00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:26.879
 I will give you a great name,

00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:28.120
 but you need to remember

00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:28.959
 and never forget,

00:09:29.339 --> 00:09:31.259
 you were following stinky sheep around

00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:32.059
 in the grass.

00:09:32.059 --> 00:09:34.339
 If you get a great name

00:09:34.339 --> 00:09:35.579
 by being over my people,

00:09:35.819 --> 00:09:37.679
 it's so that I will get the glory.

00:09:37.859 --> 00:09:39.500
 Don't touch my glory,

00:09:40.079 --> 00:09:41.159
 says God to David.

00:09:43.079 --> 00:09:44.319
 But God promises

00:09:44.319 --> 00:09:48.159
 he will make a great name

00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.099
 of this man.

00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:50.679
 In chapter 9 we read,

00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.239
 I have been with you

00:09:52.239 --> 00:09:53.500
 wherever you have gone

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:55.379
 and cut off all of your enemies

00:09:55.379 --> 00:09:56.819
 from before you

00:09:56.819 --> 00:09:58.459
 and have made you

00:09:58.459 --> 00:09:59.739
 a great name,

00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:01.899
 like the name of the great men

00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:03.480
 who are on earth.

00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.940
 David experienced just that.

00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:09.799
 As David fought against

00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:11.080
 the Philistines early on

00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:12.620
 and against all the other nations,

00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:13.500
 on every side,

00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:14.740
 the Lord gave him victory.

00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:16.680
 And David was the first one

00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:17.120
 to admit,

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:18.000
 we see this pattern

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:18.779
 in all the Psalms,

00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:20.299
 every time God gives victory,

00:10:20.580 --> 00:10:21.539
 it's because God

00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:23.000
 was at his right hand.

00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:24.680
 It was the presence of God

00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:25.539
 with David

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:26.720
 and with the army.

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.240
 This name of greatness

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.519
 that the nations would fear

00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:31.600
 came because God

00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:32.940
 was the one doing it.

00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:35.519
 We see that David

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:36.920
 was a man of war

00:10:36.920 --> 00:10:38.379
 in the stories

00:10:38.379 --> 00:10:38.879
 that were told

00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:40.200
 in 1 and 2 Samuel.

00:10:41.019 --> 00:10:42.460
 He was often in exile.

00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:44.379
 He had to be chased out

00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:45.019
 of the land

00:10:45.019 --> 00:10:46.600
 and live as a sojourner

00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.080
 in foreign lands.

00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:49.779
 But God promised

00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:50.600
 to give him

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.040
 and the entire nation

00:10:52.040 --> 00:10:53.860
 rest in the land.

00:10:54.420 --> 00:10:55.240
 Look at verse 10.

00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:57.700
 I will appoint a place

00:10:57.700 --> 00:10:59.500
 for my people Israel

00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:00.720
 and I will plant them

00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.159
 and they may dwell

00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.139
 in a place of their own

00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:06.060
 and move no more.

00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:07.779
 Nor shall the sons

00:11:07.779 --> 00:11:09.019
 of wickedness oppress you.

00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:10.519
 You will have rest

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.539
 from all your enemies.

00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.120
 What God promises

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.539
 is what we all long for.

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:18.120
 I think I've shared

00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:18.860
 with everyone here,

00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:19.740
 I grew up in Brazil

00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:21.639
 and the Brazilians

00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:22.200
 look at me

00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:23.200
 and think you're not Brazilian

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.419
 and now in the USA,

00:11:24.419 --> 00:11:25.639
 no one knows.

00:11:25.740 --> 00:11:26.899
 I really am Brazilian.

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:27.639
 That's what I feel.

00:11:27.699 --> 00:11:28.240
 I am Brazilian.

00:11:28.419 --> 00:11:28.719
 And so,

00:11:29.259 --> 00:11:30.839
 if we belong to Christ

00:11:30.839 --> 00:11:31.620
 and he is your king,

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.179
 you belong to the kingdom of God.

00:11:34.259 --> 00:11:35.199
 That's your identity.

00:11:36.299 --> 00:11:37.479
 That's where you're at home

00:11:37.479 --> 00:11:39.219
 is in the kingdom of God

00:11:39.219 --> 00:11:40.199
 wherever you are.

00:11:40.539 --> 00:11:41.819
 And it's right and good

00:11:41.819 --> 00:11:42.899
 and it's preparing your soul

00:11:42.899 --> 00:11:43.939
 for eternity with him

00:11:43.939 --> 00:11:44.779
 to feel always

00:11:44.779 --> 00:11:46.519
 a little bit homesick.

00:11:47.139 --> 00:11:47.419
 Amen?

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:47.539
 Amen?

00:11:48.699 --> 00:11:50.299
 Now it's not trying to escape

00:11:50.299 --> 00:11:51.179
 what he's called us to.

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:52.259
 He's planted us here

00:11:52.259 --> 00:11:53.559
 and he will bring

00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:54.279
 a new heavens

00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:54.980
 and a new earth

00:11:54.980 --> 00:11:56.939
 and in Christ reigning over us

00:11:56.939 --> 00:11:58.100
 we get to be part of that.

00:11:58.860 --> 00:11:59.700
 But this promise

00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:01.639
 that you will have a place.

00:12:02.340 --> 00:12:03.000
 You will be able

00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:04.360
 to dwell in peace.

00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:05.960
 That's what some of you

00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:06.879
 need to hear today.

00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:09.319
 And find that place

00:12:09.319 --> 00:12:10.019
 in the kingdom

00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:11.240
 of Jesus Christ.

00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:12.220
 You won't find it

00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:12.939
 anywhere else.

00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:14.939
 You can ask the testimony

00:12:14.939 --> 00:12:16.379
 of other brothers and sisters

00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:17.200
 who've tried,

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:18.879
 peeked in those doors.

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.480
 it will not satisfy.

00:12:21.019 --> 00:12:21.799
 You're at home

00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:23.559
 in Christ's kingdom alone.

00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:26.600
 Well next is that

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.039
 the line of the king

00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.379
 over God's chosen people

00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:32.860
 will be appointed

00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:33.779
 by God himself.

00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:36.939
 See, God let the nation

00:12:36.939 --> 00:12:38.240
 have Saul to show them

00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:39.639
 you wanted a king

00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:40.580
 like all the other nations

00:12:40.580 --> 00:12:41.700
 who's tall and handsome?

00:12:42.439 --> 00:12:43.580
 You can have that.

00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:44.299
 And then the Lord

00:12:44.299 --> 00:12:45.200
 cut off Saul.

00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:46.279
 And he cut off

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.399
 all of the line of Saul

00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.759
 to make it very clear

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.079
 that God will be the one

00:12:51.079 --> 00:12:52.519
 who will appoint a man

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.000
 an actual king

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:54.799
 over his people.

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.039
 And God promised David

00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:58.959
 a house.

00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:00.459
 The best understanding

00:13:00.459 --> 00:13:01.399
 in the original language

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:02.199
 for the word house

00:13:02.199 --> 00:13:03.059
 is a dynasty

00:13:03.059 --> 00:13:04.439
 or a line.

00:13:05.319 --> 00:13:06.819
 Look at verse 11.

00:13:07.819 --> 00:13:08.720
 The Lord will make you

00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:09.360
 a house.

00:13:09.539 --> 00:13:10.199
 Verse 12.

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.399
 He will set up

00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:12.720
 your seed after you.

00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:14.299
 So a house is a line

00:13:14.299 --> 00:13:14.819
 of kings,

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:15.539
 a dynasty.

00:13:15.539 --> 00:13:18.539
 We read God's word

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:19.919
 as true and inerrant

00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:20.480
 and clear.

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.919
 This is an actual

00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:23.139
 genealogical line

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:24.480
 from the king David

00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.919
 in Israelite history

00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:27.319
 to a man.

00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:29.379
 God will do this.

00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:31.799
 We'll see,

00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:32.799
 David wanted to build

00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:33.379
 a place

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:34.899
 for God to meet

00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:35.599
 with his people.

00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:39.099
 But God promised

00:13:39.099 --> 00:13:40.179
 that David wouldn't

00:13:40.179 --> 00:13:40.699
 be the one

00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:41.120
 that would get

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:41.699
 to do that.

00:13:42.579 --> 00:13:43.219
 There would be

00:13:43.219 --> 00:13:43.659
 a temple.

00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:44.259
 There would be

00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:45.100
 a dwelling place,

00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:45.720
 a place where

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:46.679
 the holy God

00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:47.059
 would meet

00:13:47.059 --> 00:13:47.620
 with sinners

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:48.919
 and forgive them

00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:49.779
 and dwell with them

00:13:49.779 --> 00:13:50.379
 by grace.

00:13:50.779 --> 00:13:51.600
 But it wouldn't be

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:52.759
 something David

00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:53.220
 would build.

00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:53.700
 It would be

00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:54.759
 the seed of David,

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:56.819
 the offspring of David

00:13:56.819 --> 00:13:57.279
 that would have

00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:58.000
 to build this.

00:13:59.439 --> 00:14:00.159
 Verse 13.

00:14:00.319 --> 00:14:01.000
 He is the one

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:01.819
 who shall build

00:14:01.819 --> 00:14:03.220
 a house for my name,

00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:03.840
 says God.

00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:07.460
 Well, David failed

00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:08.340
 to discipline

00:14:08.340 --> 00:14:09.259
 his own sons.

00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:11.179
 Much of the turmoil

00:14:11.179 --> 00:14:12.399
 we were reading about

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:12.980
 in the Psalms,

00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:14.060
 it comes from problems

00:14:14.060 --> 00:14:15.180
 that arose from

00:14:15.180 --> 00:14:16.180
 within the house,

00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:17.600
 within this house

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:18.120
 of David.

00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:20.039
 He did not discipline

00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:20.680
 his sons.

00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:21.720
 He failed.

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:22.620
 But God promised

00:14:22.620 --> 00:14:23.519
 in verse 14,

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:25.259
 I will be his father

00:14:25.259 --> 00:14:27.000
 and he shall be my son.

00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:28.080
 And if he,

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.460
 the dynastic king

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:31.340
 in the line of David,

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:32.420
 commits iniquity,

00:14:32.680 --> 00:14:33.460
 sins against me,

00:14:33.539 --> 00:14:33.820
 God,

00:14:34.180 --> 00:14:35.240
 trespasses my law,

00:14:35.539 --> 00:14:36.879
 I will chasten him.

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.420
 I will discipline him

00:14:38.420 --> 00:14:39.720
 like a loving father does.

00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:42.759
 But God promised

00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.519
 his steadfast love

00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:45.940
 would never be taken away.

00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:47.259
 Look at verse 15.

00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:48.840
 I took my mercy

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:49.680
 away from Saul

00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:52.019
 and I removed Saul

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:52.980
 from before you.

00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:54.960
 But God promises

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.399
 to your seed,

00:14:56.560 --> 00:14:58.080
 I will never remove

00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:59.580
 my steadfast love.

00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:00.300
 Verse 15.

00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:00.960
 My mercy

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:02.820
 shall not depart

00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:03.940
 from him.

00:15:03.940 --> 00:15:06.460
 from David's

00:15:06.460 --> 00:15:07.440
 promised offspring.

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:11.080
 What a glorious promise

00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:11.760
 the Lord gives

00:15:11.760 --> 00:15:12.420
 to his people.

00:15:13.580 --> 00:15:14.320
 There will be

00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:14.920
 a kingdom.

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:16.120
 This kingdom

00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:16.860
 will be ruled

00:15:16.860 --> 00:15:18.640
 by a great king

00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:19.820
 with a great name.

00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:21.340
 And if you can be

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:21.980
 in this kingdom,

00:15:22.260 --> 00:15:23.220
 it will be glorious.

00:15:24.040 --> 00:15:25.280
 God will dwell with you.

00:15:25.940 --> 00:15:27.400
 God will rule over you

00:15:27.400 --> 00:15:28.820
 through a man

00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:29.360
 that will come

00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:30.160
 from this line

00:15:30.160 --> 00:15:30.920
 of David.

00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:34.740
 Well,

00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:35.479
 God's word

00:15:35.479 --> 00:15:36.299
 is for his people

00:15:36.299 --> 00:15:37.360
 in every generation.

00:15:38.599 --> 00:15:39.620
 And his Holy Spirit

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:40.399
 helps us

00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:41.699
 to see what God

00:15:41.699 --> 00:15:42.759
 was doing all along.

00:15:43.339 --> 00:15:43.839
 But we don't want

00:15:43.839 --> 00:15:44.599
 to flatten out

00:15:44.599 --> 00:15:45.659
 all of God's revelation.

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:46.979
 We want to try

00:15:46.979 --> 00:15:47.599
 to do our best

00:15:47.599 --> 00:15:48.219
 to understand

00:15:48.219 --> 00:15:49.719
 how is this word true

00:15:49.719 --> 00:15:51.139
 through every step

00:15:51.139 --> 00:15:52.219
 of redemptive history.

00:15:53.219 --> 00:15:53.519
 So,

00:15:53.659 --> 00:15:54.559
 how did God

00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:55.439
 keep his promises

00:15:55.439 --> 00:15:56.980
 to national Israel

00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:57.799
 proving

00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:59.099
 that he is true

00:15:59.099 --> 00:15:59.899
 to his word?

00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:02.919
 Let's not skip this step.

00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:03.639
 How did God

00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:04.539
 keep his promises

00:16:04.539 --> 00:16:06.120
 to national Israel

00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:06.579
 proving

00:16:06.579 --> 00:16:07.860
 that he is true

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:08.639
 to his word?

00:16:09.659 --> 00:16:10.599
 Would you turn forward

00:16:10.599 --> 00:16:11.179
 in your Bible

00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:11.759
 a bit

00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.179
 to 1 Kings

00:16:13.179 --> 00:16:15.539
 chapter 8

00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:16.199
 verse 20?

00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:20.039
 1 Kings

00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:20.779
 chapter 8

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:21.519
 verse 20.

00:16:27.199 --> 00:16:28.379
 How did the Lord

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:30.439
 keep his promises?

00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:32.799
 And how does the Bible

00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:33.939
 interpret God's own

00:16:33.939 --> 00:16:34.439
 fulfillment

00:16:34.439 --> 00:16:35.919
 of what he promised?

00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:37.799
 1 Kings

00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:38.599
 chapter 8

00:16:38.599 --> 00:16:39.699
 verse 20.

00:16:42.819 --> 00:16:44.299
 The son of David,

00:16:44.979 --> 00:16:45.939
 this promised seed

00:16:45.939 --> 00:16:46.539
 who would be carrying

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:47.479
 on this dynasty

00:16:47.479 --> 00:16:49.000
 over Israel

00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:50.319
 was Solomon.

00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:52.120
 And the Lord

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:52.839
 allowed Solomon

00:16:52.839 --> 00:16:53.740
 to build a temple

00:16:53.740 --> 00:16:54.419
 and to dedicate

00:16:54.419 --> 00:16:55.019
 this temple.

00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:56.500
 And Solomon

00:16:56.500 --> 00:16:57.299
 prays.

00:16:57.299 --> 00:16:59.740
 1 Kings

00:16:59.740 --> 00:17:00.139
 8

00:17:00.139 --> 00:17:00.459
 20

00:17:00.459 --> 00:17:00.839
 says

00:17:00.839 --> 00:17:01.620
 in the words

00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:02.199
 of Solomon

00:17:02.199 --> 00:17:02.859
 and so

00:17:02.859 --> 00:17:03.539
 the Lord

00:17:03.539 --> 00:17:04.940
 has fulfilled

00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:06.159
 his word

00:17:06.159 --> 00:17:07.339
 which he spoke.

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:09.059
 I have filled

00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:09.680
 the position

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:10.419
 of my father

00:17:10.419 --> 00:17:10.839
 David

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.019
 and sit

00:17:12.019 --> 00:17:13.099
 on the throne

00:17:13.099 --> 00:17:14.059
 of Israel.

00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:16.000
 As the Lord

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:16.519
 promised,

00:17:16.859 --> 00:17:17.579
 I have built

00:17:17.579 --> 00:17:18.099
 a temple

00:17:18.099 --> 00:17:19.200
 for the name

00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:20.059
 of the Lord

00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:20.480
 God

00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.240
 of Israel.

00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:23.079
 Look at

00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:23.819
 verse 24.

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:26.399
 He directs

00:17:26.399 --> 00:17:27.000
 this testimony

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:27.779
 to the Lord,

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:28.919
 to God.

00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:30.379
 Verse 24.

00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:31.379
 You have kept

00:17:31.379 --> 00:17:32.259
 what you promised

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:32.879
 your servant

00:17:32.879 --> 00:17:33.319
 David,

00:17:33.779 --> 00:17:34.359
 my father.

00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:35.539
 You have both

00:17:35.539 --> 00:17:36.059
 spoken

00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:37.179
 with your mouth

00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:38.359
 and fulfilled

00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:39.419
 it with

00:17:39.419 --> 00:17:40.399
 your hand.

00:17:41.379 --> 00:17:41.980
 Praise God

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:42.759
 he keeps

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:43.399
 his word.

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:44.939
 God acts

00:17:44.939 --> 00:17:45.639
 and ordains

00:17:45.639 --> 00:17:46.359
 history in such

00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:46.899
 a way that we

00:17:46.899 --> 00:17:47.579
 can look back

00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:48.439
 and see how

00:17:48.439 --> 00:17:49.419
 God has orchestrated

00:17:49.419 --> 00:17:50.599
 every event

00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:51.339
 of redemptive

00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:52.179
 history for

00:17:52.179 --> 00:17:52.740
 his people

00:17:52.740 --> 00:17:54.059
 in every generation.

00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:56.240
 The greatness

00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:57.859
 of Solomon's name,

00:17:58.579 --> 00:18:00.000
 it was something

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:00.539
 that was known

00:18:00.539 --> 00:18:01.160
 worldwide.

00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:03.039
 There was a queen

00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:03.920
 from a region

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.700
 called Sheba.

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:06.180
 We read of this

00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:07.299
 in 2 Chronicles

00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:08.259
 chapter 9

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:09.819
 verses 1 through 8.

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:11.539
 And even the queen

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:12.500
 of Sheba heard

00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:13.299
 of the fame

00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:14.019
 of Solomon

00:18:14.019 --> 00:18:15.440
 and she said

00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:16.200
 when she visited

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:16.620
 him,

00:18:17.259 --> 00:18:18.339
 it was a true

00:18:18.339 --> 00:18:19.500
 report which I heard

00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:20.420
 in my own land

00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:21.840
 about your words

00:18:21.840 --> 00:18:23.039
 and your wisdom.

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:23.920
 However,

00:18:24.120 --> 00:18:25.320
 I did not believe

00:18:25.320 --> 00:18:25.960
 their words

00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:26.960
 until I came

00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:27.800
 and saw

00:18:27.800 --> 00:18:29.220
 with my own eyes

00:18:29.220 --> 00:18:30.480
 you exceed

00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:31.200
 the fame

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.380
 of which I heard.

00:18:32.800 --> 00:18:33.600
 Happy are those

00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:34.420
 who stand

00:18:34.420 --> 00:18:36.019
 continually before you

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:37.380
 and hear your wisdom.

00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:38.560
 Listen to what

00:18:38.560 --> 00:18:39.200
 the queen of Sheba

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:40.019
 says to Solomon.

00:18:40.600 --> 00:18:41.620
 Blessed be the

00:18:41.620 --> 00:18:42.940
 Lord your God

00:18:42.940 --> 00:18:43.940
 who delights

00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:44.660
 in you,

00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:46.100
 setting you

00:18:46.100 --> 00:18:47.019
 on his throne

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:48.240
 to be king

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:49.420
 of the Lord

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:50.359
 Most High.

00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:52.160
 What a testimony

00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:53.160
 of God giving

00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:54.259
 his promise

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:55.059
 the great name

00:18:55.059 --> 00:18:55.640
 to Solomon

00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:56.700
 the seed of David

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:57.799
 and fulfilling

00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:58.500
 his word

00:18:58.500 --> 00:18:59.720
 that he would

00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:00.539
 sit on the throne

00:19:00.539 --> 00:19:01.480
 he would build

00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:01.980
 the temple

00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:03.319
 and God's glory

00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:04.220
 filled the temple.

00:19:05.120 --> 00:19:06.000
 God filled Solomon

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.620
 with wisdom

00:19:06.620 --> 00:19:07.220
 so that those

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:08.039
 who were in his court

00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:09.579
 received his counsel

00:19:09.579 --> 00:19:10.940
 and Israel enjoyed

00:19:10.940 --> 00:19:11.980
 peace under Solomon.

00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:13.740
 The Lord is true

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.500
 to his word.

00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:17.480
 But we have a problem

00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.400
 when it comes

00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:20.420
 to national Israel

00:19:20.420 --> 00:19:22.460
 and the problem

00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:23.220
 is man.

00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:24.940
 When blessing

00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:26.579
 depends on man's

00:19:26.579 --> 00:19:27.019
 obedience

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:28.880
 we suffer.

00:19:30.360 --> 00:19:31.339
 When blessing

00:19:31.339 --> 00:19:32.380
 depends on man's

00:19:32.380 --> 00:19:32.740
 obedience

00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:33.480
 we are under

00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:34.700
 a covenant of works.

00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:36.039
 It's a principle

00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:36.599
 of works

00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:37.400
 because if man

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:38.180
 disobeys

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:39.460
 we bring on curses.

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:41.940
 Only perfect obedience

00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:43.360
 can bring on blessing.

00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:46.199
 Do you remember

00:19:46.199 --> 00:19:46.859
 that principle

00:19:46.859 --> 00:19:47.619
 way back in the

00:19:47.619 --> 00:19:48.319
 Garden of Eden

00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:49.559
 as goes the king

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:50.579
 so goes the kingdom.

00:19:51.719 --> 00:19:52.500
 We don't get to

00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:53.099
 make the rules

00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:53.939
 God set it up

00:19:53.939 --> 00:19:54.399
 this way

00:19:54.399 --> 00:19:55.959
 Adam will be the one

00:19:55.959 --> 00:19:56.779
 who is to guard

00:19:56.779 --> 00:19:57.399
 and to keep

00:19:57.399 --> 00:19:58.519
 and to minister

00:19:58.519 --> 00:19:59.379
 before God

00:19:59.379 --> 00:20:00.559
 in the Garden of Eden

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:01.519
 and the Lord

00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:02.500
 set up this principle

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:04.139
 of imputed sin

00:20:04.139 --> 00:20:06.559
 that with Adam's sin

00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:07.399
 as the federal head

00:20:07.399 --> 00:20:08.479
 all of mankind

00:20:08.479 --> 00:20:09.479
 is now fallen

00:20:09.479 --> 00:20:10.299
 short of the glory

00:20:10.299 --> 00:20:10.759
 of God

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:12.180
 our wills are bound

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:13.259
 to be sinful

00:20:13.259 --> 00:20:14.619
 we're bent in that direction

00:20:14.619 --> 00:20:15.599
 all that we do

00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:16.220
 will be tainted

00:20:16.220 --> 00:20:16.879
 and polluted

00:20:16.879 --> 00:20:17.879
 by sin

00:20:17.879 --> 00:20:19.000
 that came from Adam

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:20.640
 then in our own pride

00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:22.599
 our own self-righteousness

00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:23.420
 our own works

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:25.039
 our own willful sin

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:26.140
 that just piles on

00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:27.400
 the sin of a people

00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:29.819
 and so this same principle

00:20:29.819 --> 00:20:31.180
 now for national Israel

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:33.140
 all it takes

00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:34.200
 is one of the kings

00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:35.379
 of this line of David

00:20:35.379 --> 00:20:36.480
 sinning

00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:37.740
 rebelling against God

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:38.879
 turning to idolatry

00:20:38.879 --> 00:20:40.339
 this principle of works

00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:40.819
 will affect

00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:42.179
 the entire kingdom

00:20:42.179 --> 00:20:43.439
 as goes the king

00:20:43.439 --> 00:20:44.779
 so goes the kingdom

00:20:44.779 --> 00:20:48.000
 we read in the law of God

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:49.099
 that the Davidic king

00:20:49.099 --> 00:20:50.259
 he was to

00:20:50.259 --> 00:20:51.159
 to memorize it

00:20:51.159 --> 00:20:51.740
 to write it

00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:52.339
 make a copy

00:20:52.339 --> 00:20:53.019
 that the scribes

00:20:53.019 --> 00:20:53.599
 would inspect

00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.240
 the king was to

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:56.059
 reflect

00:20:56.059 --> 00:20:57.639
 the righteous rule

00:20:57.639 --> 00:20:59.240
 over the nation

00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:00.959
 of God himself

00:21:00.959 --> 00:21:02.720
 well what

00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.579
 what king

00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:04.699
 under the curse of Adam

00:21:04.699 --> 00:21:06.240
 can rule a nation

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:07.399
 without falling short

00:21:07.399 --> 00:21:08.459
 of the glory of God

00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:11.360
 the Davidic king

00:21:11.360 --> 00:21:11.819
 was to

00:21:11.819 --> 00:21:12.920
 lead Israel

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:14.180
 in the faithful

00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:15.059
 observance of

00:21:15.059 --> 00:21:16.220
 all of God's law

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:17.019
 that he gave

00:21:17.019 --> 00:21:17.720
 through Moses

00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:20.059
 we didn't even

00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:20.559
 have to go

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:21.500
 one generation

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:23.140
 past Solomon

00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:24.880
 to see the fall

00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:26.620
 to see how man

00:21:26.620 --> 00:21:27.319
 once again

00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:28.819
 violates the law

00:21:28.819 --> 00:21:29.299
 of God

00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:30.019
 Solomon

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:31.600
 was the one

00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:32.039
 who began

00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:33.100
 forsaking God

00:21:33.100 --> 00:21:34.200
 and turning instead

00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:34.960
 to the idols

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:36.120
 that all of his

00:21:36.120 --> 00:21:37.600
 different marriages

00:21:37.600 --> 00:21:38.779
 brought into the nation

00:21:38.779 --> 00:21:40.900
 in 1st Kings 11

00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:41.900
 verse 2

00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:42.259
 we read

00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:43.140
 that you shall not

00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:44.200
 intermarry with them

00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:45.460
 nor they with you

00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:46.340
 for surely

00:21:46.340 --> 00:21:47.200
 they will turn away

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:47.799
 your hearts

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.860
 after their gods

00:21:48.860 --> 00:21:50.640
 but Solomon

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:52.240
 clung to these

00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:53.460
 in love

00:21:53.460 --> 00:21:56.039
 as goes the king

00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:56.740
 so goes

00:21:56.740 --> 00:21:57.579
 the kingdom

00:21:57.579 --> 00:21:59.819
 that temple

00:21:59.819 --> 00:22:01.000
 that Solomon built

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.160
 which was filled

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:03.759
 with the glory

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.319
 of God

00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:05.940
 King Nebuchadnezzar

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:07.259
 came and destroyed

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:08.680
 and carried the people

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:09.920
 away into exile

00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:13.339
 and so now we have

00:22:13.339 --> 00:22:14.740
 the throne

00:22:14.740 --> 00:22:15.480
 of David

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:16.319
 sitting empty

00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:18.599
 no land

00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:20.180
 no freedom

00:22:20.180 --> 00:22:21.640
 no law

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:23.180
 no peace

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:24.980
 and a bad name

00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:27.980
 how will God

00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:28.539
 be faithful

00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:29.400
 to his promises

00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:31.940
 because when it

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:32.900
 depends on man

00:22:32.900 --> 00:22:35.400
 everyone

00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:36.400
 gets misery

00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:39.880
 do you see

00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:40.740
 how even the story

00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:41.580
 of God's promise

00:22:41.580 --> 00:22:42.120
 to David

00:22:42.120 --> 00:22:43.000
 and the fall

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.580
 of the nation

00:22:43.580 --> 00:22:44.420
 to idolatry

00:22:44.420 --> 00:22:45.080
 even that

00:22:45.080 --> 00:22:46.759
 it proves to us

00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:47.300
 that man

00:22:47.300 --> 00:22:48.340
 has no hope

00:22:48.340 --> 00:22:48.880
 of blessing

00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:49.759
 unless God

00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:50.680
 himself

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:52.240
 becomes our king

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.420
 no man

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:56.000
 on earth

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.820
 can have a hope

00:22:56.820 --> 00:22:57.440
 of receiving

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:58.280
 God's blessing

00:22:58.280 --> 00:22:59.480
 by being good

00:22:59.480 --> 00:22:59.920
 enough

00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:01.100
 and that's why

00:23:01.100 --> 00:23:02.019
 God himself

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:03.140
 had to become

00:23:03.140 --> 00:23:04.000
 the king

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:04.660
 from the line

00:23:04.660 --> 00:23:05.100
 of David

00:23:05.100 --> 00:23:05.720
 to fulfill

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:06.360
 all of these

00:23:06.360 --> 00:23:06.880
 promises

00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:09.960
 if you're back

00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:10.460
 in our sermon

00:23:10.460 --> 00:23:10.840
 text

00:23:10.840 --> 00:23:11.380
 you can turn

00:23:11.380 --> 00:23:11.539
 there

00:23:11.539 --> 00:23:12.340
 2 Samuel

00:23:12.340 --> 00:23:13.700
 chapter 7

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:15.960
 2 Samuel 7

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:17.019
 there's one more

00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:17.420
 verse

00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:18.740
 that we haven't

00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:19.560
 read yet

00:23:19.560 --> 00:23:20.500
 in our exposition

00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:20.920
 and that's

00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:21.740
 verse 16

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:25.880
 2 Samuel

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:27.359
 chapter 7

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:28.460
 verse 16

00:23:28.460 --> 00:23:31.259
 as you heard

00:23:31.259 --> 00:23:31.839
 this the first

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:32.099
 time

00:23:32.099 --> 00:23:32.620
 some of you

00:23:32.620 --> 00:23:32.920
 might have

00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:33.200
 thought

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.039
 that sounds

00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:34.819
 more glorious

00:23:34.819 --> 00:23:35.519
 than what

00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:36.099
 Solomon

00:23:36.099 --> 00:23:36.940
 or any other

00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:37.359
 man

00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.460
 could achieve

00:23:38.460 --> 00:23:39.200
 how will God

00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:39.880
 be true to his

00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:40.160
 word

00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:41.019
 in verse 16

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:42.680
 God promised

00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:43.380
 your house

00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:45.000
 your kingdom

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:46.440
 your throne

00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:47.680
 shall be

00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:48.519
 established

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.660
 forever

00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:50.660
 before you

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:53.720
 the Hebrew

00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:54.140
 term

00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:54.880
 forever

00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:56.300
 it's found

00:23:56.300 --> 00:23:57.240
 eight times

00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:58.320
 in this chapter

00:23:58.320 --> 00:24:01.120
 the foreverness

00:24:01.120 --> 00:24:02.080
 of God's promises

00:24:02.080 --> 00:24:02.940
 through David

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:04.540
 are a significant

00:24:04.540 --> 00:24:05.480
 feature of the

00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:06.279
 Davidic covenant

00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.500
 God is promising

00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:09.160
 a king

00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:10.420
 for his people

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:11.900
 a name

00:24:11.900 --> 00:24:12.779
 a throne

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:14.620
 which will

00:24:14.620 --> 00:24:15.600
 last forever

00:24:15.600 --> 00:24:20.180
 but there sits

00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:20.620
 Israel

00:24:20.620 --> 00:24:21.640
 with no name

00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:22.259
 no land

00:24:22.259 --> 00:24:22.799
 no king

00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:24.560
 well even though

00:24:24.560 --> 00:24:25.500
 Israel is in exile

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:26.880
 God continues to

00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:27.779
 raise up prophets

00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:28.860
 the people are

00:24:28.860 --> 00:24:29.519
 idolatrous

00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:31.060
 but these prophets

00:24:31.060 --> 00:24:31.960
 the rest of the

00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:32.500
 prophets of the

00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:32.960
 Old Testament

00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:33.460
 they begin

00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:34.240
 adding on

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:35.240
 adding on

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:35.640
 promises

00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:36.380
 filling out

00:24:36.380 --> 00:24:37.600
 this Davidic

00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:38.320
 promise

00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:39.080
 this Davidic

00:24:39.080 --> 00:24:39.420
 covenant

00:24:39.420 --> 00:24:41.880
 it's pointing to

00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:42.420
 a future

00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:43.080
 and fuller

00:24:43.080 --> 00:24:43.640
 fulfillment

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:44.360
 for example

00:24:44.360 --> 00:24:45.200
 Amos 9

00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:45.720
 11

00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:47.340
 prophesied

00:24:47.339 --> 00:24:48.220
 that a great

00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:48.919
 day is coming

00:24:48.919 --> 00:24:49.459
 on which

00:24:49.459 --> 00:24:50.379
 I the Lord

00:24:50.379 --> 00:24:51.659
 shall raise up

00:24:51.659 --> 00:24:52.699
 the tabernacle

00:24:52.699 --> 00:24:53.379
 of David

00:24:53.379 --> 00:24:54.519
 which has

00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:55.240
 fallen down

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:56.339
 and I shall

00:24:56.339 --> 00:24:56.859
 repair

00:24:56.859 --> 00:24:57.899
 its damages

00:24:57.899 --> 00:24:59.299
 I will raise

00:24:59.299 --> 00:25:00.319
 up its ruins

00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:01.799
 and rebuild it

00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:03.299
 there's the image

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:04.679
 of David's house

00:25:04.679 --> 00:25:05.899
 fallen down

00:25:05.899 --> 00:25:06.859
 like a tent

00:25:06.859 --> 00:25:07.720
 that had all

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.099
 the pegs

00:25:08.099 --> 00:25:08.599
 knocked out

00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:09.919
 and the Lord

00:25:09.919 --> 00:25:10.439
 says I will

00:25:10.439 --> 00:25:10.899
 take that

00:25:10.899 --> 00:25:11.679
 tabernacle of

00:25:11.679 --> 00:25:11.939
 David

00:25:11.939 --> 00:25:13.119
 and put it

00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:13.639
 back up

00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:15.560
 I'd like for

00:25:15.560 --> 00:25:15.960
 you to please

00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:16.520
 turn to the

00:25:16.520 --> 00:25:17.259
 book of Isaiah

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:18.259
 and this is

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:18.500
 where I'm

00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:18.900
 going to keep

00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:20.400
 us for the

00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:20.840
 rest of our

00:25:20.840 --> 00:25:21.180
 time

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:22.300
 Isaiah chapter

00:25:22.300 --> 00:25:22.860
 11

00:25:22.860 --> 00:25:24.340
 how else did

00:25:24.340 --> 00:25:25.140
 God add on

00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:25.600
 promises

00:25:25.600 --> 00:25:26.740
 and make the

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:27.200
 prophecy

00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:29.120
 be even more

00:25:29.120 --> 00:25:30.320
 clear of this

00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:31.740
 anointed messianic

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:32.640
 man from the

00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:33.380
 line of David

00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:34.940
 Isaiah chapter

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:36.080
 11 verse 1

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:43.460
 these Isaiah

00:25:43.460 --> 00:25:44.259
 passages might

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:44.799
 be familiar

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:45.399
 to you but I

00:25:45.399 --> 00:25:45.799
 hope that you'll

00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:46.099
 make the

00:25:46.099 --> 00:25:46.919
 connection today

00:25:46.919 --> 00:25:47.839
 when you see

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:48.460
 the name of

00:25:48.460 --> 00:25:49.659
 David attached

00:25:49.659 --> 00:25:50.199
 to these

00:25:50.199 --> 00:25:51.740
 Isaiah 11

00:25:51.740 --> 00:25:53.079
 starting at

00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:53.699
 verse 1

00:25:53.699 --> 00:25:55.859
 Isaiah also

00:25:55.859 --> 00:25:56.659
 prophesies

00:25:56.659 --> 00:25:57.720
 right before

00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:58.240
 Israel gets

00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:58.879
 taken over

00:25:58.879 --> 00:26:00.699
 there shall

00:26:00.699 --> 00:26:01.500
 come forth

00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:02.720
 a rod

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.579
 from the

00:26:03.579 --> 00:26:04.379
 stem of

00:26:04.379 --> 00:26:04.720
 Jesse

00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:05.119
 who was

00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:05.480
 Jesse

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:06.599
 David's dad

00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:08.180
 a branch

00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:09.019
 shall grow

00:26:09.019 --> 00:26:09.519
 out of its

00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:09.860
 roots

00:26:09.860 --> 00:26:11.079
 the spirit

00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:11.400
 of the

00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:11.900
 Lord shall

00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:12.720
 rest upon

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.000
 him

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:14.279
 the spirit

00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:14.839
 of wisdom

00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:16.019
 and understanding

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:17.000
 the spirit

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:17.620
 of counsel

00:26:17.620 --> 00:26:18.480
 and might

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:19.440
 the spirit

00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:20.019
 of knowledge

00:26:20.019 --> 00:26:20.500
 and of the

00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:21.019
 fear of the

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:21.279
 Lord

00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:22.140
 with the

00:26:22.140 --> 00:26:22.599
 breath of

00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:23.120
 his lips

00:26:23.120 --> 00:26:24.480
 he shall

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:25.140
 slay the

00:26:25.140 --> 00:26:25.480
 wicked

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:27.079
 verse 5

00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:27.640
 righteousness

00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:28.519
 shall be

00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:29.059
 the belt

00:26:29.059 --> 00:26:29.539
 of his

00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:30.059
 loins

00:26:30.059 --> 00:26:31.539
 and faithfulness

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:32.319
 the belt

00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:32.920
 of his

00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:33.519
 waist

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:35.859
 so for

00:26:35.859 --> 00:26:36.200
 all the

00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:36.619
 believing

00:26:36.619 --> 00:26:37.119
 Israelites

00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:38.119
 like Daniel

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:38.700
 who received

00:26:38.700 --> 00:26:39.339
 the prophecies

00:26:39.339 --> 00:26:39.759
 God gave

00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:40.339
 through Isaiah

00:26:40.339 --> 00:26:41.500
 they're expecting

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:42.039
 from the

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:43.139
 physical line

00:26:43.139 --> 00:26:43.799
 of David

00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:45.079
 a man

00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:45.799
 to be born

00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:46.619
 that God

00:26:46.619 --> 00:26:47.119
 will raise

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:47.460
 up

00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:48.680
 and in a way

00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:49.180
 they could only

00:26:49.180 --> 00:26:49.759
 accept by

00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:50.240
 faith

00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:51.139
 he will have

00:26:51.139 --> 00:26:51.980
 a belt

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.960
 of righteousness

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:54.720
 he will be

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:55.500
 so full of

00:26:55.500 --> 00:26:56.279
 the Holy Spirit

00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:57.460
 he will pour

00:26:57.460 --> 00:26:58.099
 out wisdom

00:26:58.099 --> 00:26:59.420
 and his words

00:26:59.420 --> 00:27:00.039
 will slay

00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:00.599
 the enemies

00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:01.859
 these are

00:27:01.859 --> 00:27:02.559
 the expectations

00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:03.219
 they would put

00:27:03.219 --> 00:27:03.799
 in this

00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:04.359
 Davidic

00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:05.199
 man

00:27:05.199 --> 00:27:05.699
 that God

00:27:05.699 --> 00:27:06.139
 would raise

00:27:06.139 --> 00:27:06.359
 up

00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:06.539
 his

00:27:06.539 --> 00:27:06.980
 anointed

00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:07.339
 one

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:10.059
 well let's

00:27:10.059 --> 00:27:10.359
 see how

00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:11.019
 God fulfilled

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:11.359
 these

00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:12.039
 glorious

00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:12.559
 promises

00:27:13.719 --> 00:27:14.659
 first coming

00:27:14.659 --> 00:27:15.480
 would you

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:15.980
 turn back

00:27:15.980 --> 00:27:16.419

 this is how

 the Lord

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:26.139
 God

00:27:26.139 --> 00:27:26.740

00:27:58.680 --> 00:27:59.120
 government

00:27:59.120 --> 00:28:00.299
 and peace

00:28:00.299 --> 00:28:01.279
 there will

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:01.940
 be no

00:28:01.940 --> 00:28:02.420
 end

00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:03.140
 it's

00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:03.600
 forever

00:28:03.600 --> 00:28:05.240
 upon the

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:07.360
 and over

00:28:07.360 --> 00:28:08.060
 his kingdom

00:28:08.060 --> 00:28:09.539
 to order

00:28:09.539 --> 00:28:10.080
 it and

00:28:10.080 --> 00:28:10.860
 establish it

00:28:10.860 --> 00:28:11.560
 with judgment

00:28:11.560 --> 00:28:12.620
 and justice

00:28:12.620 --> 00:28:13.539
 from that

00:28:13.539 --> 00:28:13.940
 time

00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:14.700
 forward

00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:15.680
 even

00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:16.200
 forever

00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:17.779
 the zeal

00:28:17.779 --> 00:28:18.360
 of the

00:28:18.360 --> 00:28:19.039
 Lord of

00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:19.560
 hosts

00:28:19.560 --> 00:28:20.500
 will perform

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:20.980
 this

00:28:20.980 --> 00:28:22.160
 amen

00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:23.640
 do you see

00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:24.299
 the Davidic

00:28:24.299 --> 00:28:24.640
 covenant

00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:25.519
 the Lord

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:26.220
 never forgot

00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:26.680
 about it

00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:27.380
 he wrapped

00:28:27.380 --> 00:28:28.080
 more glorious

00:28:28.080 --> 00:28:28.519
 promises

00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:29.340
 more specific

00:28:29.340 --> 00:28:30.180
 ways that

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:30.740
 only God

00:28:30.740 --> 00:28:31.440
 could fulfill

00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:32.380
 he will be

00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:32.900
 called mighty

00:28:32.900 --> 00:28:33.240
 God

00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:34.180
 but he's

00:28:34.180 --> 00:28:34.460
 from the

00:28:34.460 --> 00:28:34.840
 house of

00:28:34.840 --> 00:28:35.140
 David

00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:36.539
 he's from

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:36.980
 the throne

00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:37.380
 of David

00:28:37.380 --> 00:28:37.640
 and will

00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:38.019
 rule over

00:28:38.019 --> 00:28:38.480
 the kingdom

00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:38.980
 of David

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:39.820
 but he's

00:28:39.820 --> 00:28:40.600
 the everlasting

00:28:40.600 --> 00:28:41.279
 father

00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:44.860
 God made

00:28:44.860 --> 00:28:45.380
 David

00:28:45.380 --> 00:28:47.279
 a shepherd

00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:48.100
 into a

00:28:48.100 --> 00:28:48.380
 king

00:28:48.380 --> 00:28:50.600
 Christ

00:28:50.600 --> 00:28:51.400
 the king

00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:52.019
 of kings

00:28:52.019 --> 00:28:53.559
 became

00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:54.579
 a man

00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:55.220
 and a

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:55.519
 shepherd

00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:57.579
 the eternal

00:28:57.579 --> 00:28:58.079
 divine

00:28:58.079 --> 00:28:58.599
 father

00:28:58.599 --> 00:28:59.660
 promised

00:28:59.660 --> 00:29:00.259
 that God

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:00.819
 the son

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:01.740
 shall take

00:29:01.740 --> 00:29:02.579
 a body

00:29:02.579 --> 00:29:03.720
 and he

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:04.200
 will be

00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:05.000
 the only

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.539
 mediator

00:29:05.539 --> 00:29:06.319
 between God

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:06.900
 and man

00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:07.400
 he will be

00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:07.960
 the temple

00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:09.019
 the meeting

00:29:09.019 --> 00:29:09.539
 place

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:12.339
 God

00:29:12.339 --> 00:29:12.859
 promised

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:14.460
 my son

00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:15.099
 shall never

00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:15.799
 commit a

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:16.180
 single

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:17.139
 iniquity

00:29:17.139 --> 00:29:19.240
 and nothing

00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:19.940
 that pleases

00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:20.680
 me will

00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:21.200
 my son

00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:22.100
 leave

00:29:22.100 --> 00:29:22.779
 undone

00:29:22.779 --> 00:29:23.840
 he'll do

00:29:23.840 --> 00:29:24.240
 it all

00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:25.640
 and yet

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:26.220
 my son

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:27.140
 will take

00:29:27.140 --> 00:29:27.640
 the rod

00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:28.240
 of men

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:28.700
 and the

00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:29.019
 blows

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:29.360
 of the

00:29:29.360 --> 00:29:29.600
 sons

00:29:29.600 --> 00:29:30.019
 of men

00:29:30.019 --> 00:29:31.500
 for your

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:31.980
 sins

00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:32.920
 in your

00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:33.360
 place

00:29:33.360 --> 00:29:36.299
 God

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:36.580
 brought

00:29:36.580 --> 00:29:37.019
 peace

00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:37.660
 to his

00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:38.100
 nation

00:29:38.100 --> 00:29:39.400
 by David

00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:40.080
 being a

00:29:40.080 --> 00:29:40.400
 bloody

00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:41.220
 man

00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:41.860
 of war

00:29:41.860 --> 00:29:44.200
 and Christ

00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:44.840
 went to

00:29:44.840 --> 00:29:45.360
 war with

00:29:45.360 --> 00:29:45.940
 sin

00:29:45.940 --> 00:29:47.100
 Satan

00:29:47.100 --> 00:29:48.400
 worldliness

00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:49.600
 and he

00:29:49.600 --> 00:29:50.100
 became

00:29:50.099 --> 00:29:51.159
 bloody

00:29:51.159 --> 00:29:52.699
 to bring

00:29:52.699 --> 00:29:53.219
 peace

00:29:53.219 --> 00:29:53.859
 to his

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:54.299
 nation

00:29:54.299 --> 00:29:56.939
 King

00:29:56.939 --> 00:29:57.240
 Jesus

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:57.740
 rules

00:29:57.740 --> 00:29:58.339
 over his

00:29:58.339 --> 00:29:58.759
 people

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.839
 with his

00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:00.240
 moral

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:00.980
 law

00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:01.679
 written

00:30:01.679 --> 00:30:02.059
 on your

00:30:02.059 --> 00:30:02.439
 hearts

00:30:02.439 --> 00:30:03.039
 put into

00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:03.240
 your

00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:03.679
 minds

00:30:03.679 --> 00:30:04.679
 his

00:30:04.679 --> 00:30:04.959
 kingdom

00:30:04.959 --> 00:30:05.379
 is not

00:30:05.379 --> 00:30:05.759
 a kingdom

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:06.599
 of lawlessness

00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:08.079
 but it's a

00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:08.539
 kingdom of

00:30:08.539 --> 00:30:09.339
 true peace

00:30:09.339 --> 00:30:12.219
 do you see

00:30:12.219 --> 00:30:13.259
 how Robespierre

00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:14.639
 was wrong

00:30:14.639 --> 00:30:15.399
 but his

00:30:15.399 --> 00:30:15.879
 words were

00:30:15.879 --> 00:30:16.199
 right

00:30:16.199 --> 00:30:17.919
 that's the

00:30:17.919 --> 00:30:18.419
 only way

00:30:18.420 --> 00:30:20.039
 the king

00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:20.840
 had to

00:30:20.840 --> 00:30:21.180
 die

00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:22.600
 that his

00:30:22.600 --> 00:30:23.080
 nation

00:30:23.080 --> 00:30:24.060
 might live

00:30:24.060 --> 00:30:26.380
 the zeal

00:30:26.380 --> 00:30:27.019
 of the

00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:27.779
 Lord of

00:30:27.779 --> 00:30:28.240
 hosts

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:29.200
 performed

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:29.500
 this

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:29.740
 through

00:30:29.740 --> 00:30:30.060
 Jesus

00:30:30.060 --> 00:30:30.560
 Christ

00:30:30.560 --> 00:30:32.779
 and that's

00:30:32.779 --> 00:30:33.180
 how God

00:30:33.180 --> 00:30:33.660
 fulfills

00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:34.240
 the forever

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:34.339
 forever

00:30:34.339 --> 00:30:35.240
 the

 verse 15

00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:39.339
 of our

00:30:39.339 --> 00:30:39.599
 sermon

00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:40.000

00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:41.579
 my

00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:42.480
 kindness

00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:43.120
 my

00:30:43.120 --> 00:30:43.660
 covenant

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:44.759
 faithfulness

00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:45.759
 shall not

00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:46.519
 depart

00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:47.779
 from my

00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:48.460
 son Jesus

00:30:48.460 --> 00:30:49.359
 or any

00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:49.900
 who are

00:30:49.900 --> 00:30:50.480
 in him

00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.500
 do you

00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:53.160
 see how God

00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:53.859
 fulfilled these

00:30:53.859 --> 00:30:54.319
 promises

00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:55.940
 when Christ

00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:56.900
 first came

00:30:56.900 --> 00:30:57.380
 to earth

00:30:57.380 --> 00:31:01.800
 well there's

00:31:01.800 --> 00:31:02.580
 more glorious

00:31:02.580 --> 00:31:03.660
 promises still

00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:04.400
 attached to the

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:05.160
 Davidic covenant

00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:05.920
 I believe

00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:08.600
 I believe God

00:31:08.600 --> 00:31:09.360
 will finally

00:31:09.360 --> 00:31:10.480
 and fully

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.140
 fulfill all of

00:31:12.140 --> 00:31:12.780
 these promises

00:31:12.780 --> 00:31:13.580
 with Christ's

00:31:13.580 --> 00:31:14.200

 text verse 10

00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:18.200
 says I will

00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:19.680
 give a place

00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:20.980
 for my people

00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:22.160
 I will plant

00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:23.120
 them that they

00:31:23.120 --> 00:31:24.040
 may dwell in a

00:31:24.040 --> 00:31:24.640
 place of their

00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:26.260
 own and move

00:31:26.260 --> 00:31:27.140
 no more

00:31:27.140 --> 00:31:28.640
 that's not

00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:29.300
 fulfilled yet

00:31:29.300 --> 00:31:31.000
 Peter calls

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.560
 the church

00:31:31.560 --> 00:31:33.120
 Gentiles and

00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:33.740
 Jews alike

00:31:33.740 --> 00:31:34.780
 sojourners

00:31:34.780 --> 00:31:35.420
 pilgrims

00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:36.040
 we're more

00:31:36.040 --> 00:31:36.920

00:31:38.840 --> 00:31:39.480
 sojourners

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:40.780

00:31:40.780 --> 00:31:41.320
 will come

00:31:41.320 --> 00:31:41.740
 a time

00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:42.780
 where we

00:31:42.780 --> 00:31:43.140
 will have

00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:43.560
 a place

00:31:43.560 --> 00:31:43.980
 to dwell

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:44.400
 forever

00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:45.300
 we won't

00:31:45.300 --> 00:31:45.640
 have to

00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:46.100
 move

00:31:46.100 --> 00:31:46.880
 anymore

00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:50.380
 no more

00:31:50.380 --> 00:31:50.800

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:52.280
 oppress

00:31:52.280 --> 00:31:52.580
 them

00:31:52.580 --> 00:31:53.860
 we're not

00:31:53.860 --> 00:31:54.380
 there yet

00:31:54.380 --> 00:31:55.860
 that hasn't

00:31:55.860 --> 00:31:56.220
 happened

00:31:56.220 --> 00:31:57.259
 and they

00:31:57.259 --> 00:31:57.660
 shall have

00:31:57.660 --> 00:31:58.480

00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:03.480

00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:04.640
 final fulfillment

00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:05.660
 at Christ's
