Old Testament Glimpses of the Kingdomනියැදිය

David’s Kingdom
All through the Scripture, Jesus’s rule and His Kingdom are compared to David’s throne. It is David, his rule, his throne, and his reign that Christ would take up one day in an eternal Kingdom. Solomon, Josiah, or any other earlier King is never mentioned - only David. Why is that? Why was David the precursor of the Messiah and his Kingdom, and why was his throne the one that Messiah would sit upon?
David’s Kingdom is the Old Testament picture and type of Christ’s reign today. Within it we see several key ideas that are foundational in the Kingdom of God. He was in no way perfect, but God saw things within him and his rule that would foreshadow the coming of the eternal rule of His son.
“A Man After God’s Own Heart That Would Do All His Will.”
In David, we see a ruler who is not motivated by greed, ambition, or a lust for power. We see a man motivated by an amazing desire to be close to God, to know Him, to walk with Him, and to fulfill all of God’s desires for the people. David was inflamed with the presence of God and a consuming passion to do His will. This is a picture of Jesus Christ, although a dim one. It is also a type of what the New Covenant Kingdom believers would look like at the core of their lives. This is the race of people God would raise up through His Son.
Prayer:
God, please grant us the faith, humility, and perspective to stay close to your heart. Let your will be our will. Lead us to a heart that’s inflamed with your presence and a passion to stay focused on your purposes.
