Kingdom of God: Part Five (Interpretation)
Monday, February 20th, 2012The Fullness of David: Part Eight (Soul Medication)
Thursday, February 9th, 2012In the time of king Saul, someone was declared, in a quiet and prophetic way, as being eligible for the high place in society that was already occupied by some else (Saul). This was not a matter of conjecture about some, at that time, unnamed man. The declaration spoke of a sure thing for this man, since he would soon be placed in that high position by the LORD. Later, we discover that the man is David. In that position, David would have the authorization to perform activities in the name of the LORD; such as this one . . .
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.
When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits. And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead.
As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
(1 Samuel 13:3-8)
One of the lesson that David was able to review from Israel’s history, taught him about the LORDS precise instructions when one is authorized to lead his people, and about the danger of taking that type of authorization lightly. The lesson involves Saul, the first chosen king of Israel. It is the lesson that contains the prediction of the later elevation of David’s societal stature.
