How David is a Type of Christ: How to find Jesus in the OT pt 13

all right so we're studying typology of Jesus throughout the Old Testament we've been looking at a bunch of stuff so far principles on how we can identify types how to justify the whole idea of looking for foreshadowing of Jesus in these different people and right now today we're doing the life of David David as a type of Christ and I I really like this I really love David as a type of Christ and I think that he's a type in more than one way in the Old Testament so I'm going to get as far as I can today there's lots and lots of content I hope that I can cover a good amount of it and it's a real blessing to you I was debating whether or not to do this in two studies I'm gonna try and do it in one and cram it in there but the first question is why should I think David is a type of Christ in the first place like why should I consider this as an option so far I've mostly been looking at types where the New Testament pretty much only looking at types where the New Testament sort of gives us this is a type of Christ you know this is a foreshadowing of Jesus then we go back and analyze that image to get a better picture of it and that's sort of the case with David David is not clearly identified as a type in the New Testament in the sense where the New Testament says David is a type of Christ but there are ways in which David is related to Jesus so let's give you some examples so the question is specifically where in the New Testament does the Bible connect David and Jesus in some kind of tip illogical sense some foreshadowing sense well Matthew 1 verse 1 that's actually the first verse we'll go to Matthew 1 1 remember how as you're under way there remember how Jesus was like Moses in the sense that he was the prophet like unto Moses well the general idea about the Messiah is that he would also be the king like David that this this is a real legitimate connection he's a king like David and so Matthew 1:1 that's why it begins the genealogy of Jesus with this phrase the book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the Son of David the son of Abraham so he's the son of David the son of Abraham those two people and then he's gonna unpack that genealogy in greater detail but he mentioned specifically Abraham so he's a descendant of Abraham he's a Jew and also he is the son of David then Matthew 1 verse 6 it's talking about like the genealogy just giving a list of people related to Jesus it says and Jesse begat David the King David the king begat solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah so David is the one person in the genealogy who's who's labeled as being the King to Matthew this is important to the Holy Spirit as he inspires Matthew this is important that David is the king now other people in the same line were also kings of Israel Solomon was a king of Israel but he's not called the king in the genealogy so the emphasis is David is the king even though he wasn't the only king then Luke chapter 1 verse 69 when Zechariah is Zechariah who is John the Baptist dad he offers a prophecy and in his prophecy he speaks about Messiah about Jesus and in Luke 169 he says this that God has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David so once again we're getting connection between Jesus and David specifically as being the descendant of David being the one who was ultimately a king like David but when he uses this phrase a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David it is connects to Psalm 132 verse 17 which is and I'll read it to you this is like a Davidic Psalm it says there I will make a horn to sprout for David I have prepared a lamp for my anointed so there's this descendent of David this future coming descendent of David and even Psalm 132 is like hey he's still coming a horn will sprout unto David and then Zechariah when Jesus shows up he's like Jesus is the horn that sprouts unto David so he's connected to David specifically in the Bible but there's a lot more details so let me give you more because I'm building a case hopefully an iron-clad case about the connection between David and Jesus in Matthew 9:27 blind men by the side of the road and when Jesus shows up they call out to him and they ask for healing but what they say is really interesting it says in Matthew 9:27 and as Jesus passed on from there two blind men followed him crying aloud have mercy on us son of David why son of David son of David is a messianic kingly title he was the coming king of Israel remember he gets crucified for being the king of Israel this is the the claim he's the son of David when jesus heals a demon a prat not a demon excuse me idea I paused to like breathe and it made my sentence sound wrong when jesus heals a demon oppressed man who's blind and mute in Matthew 12 23 it says and all the people were amazed and said and here's the response when jesus heals this guy can this be the son of David they this is the ultimate messianic King is the son of David it's one of the titles of the Messiah so we go on in the triumphal entry in Matthew 21 9 when Jesus enters in a week before his crucifixion and it says in crowds actually week before the resurrection really and the crowds that went before him that fought and that followed him were shouting Hosanna to the son of David blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord hosanna in the highest so begin the Messianic titles the son of David this this connection between Messiah and dude then when Jesus himself speaks on this topic on on who this guy is in Matthew 22 verses 41 through 46 he has this whole conversation with the Pharisees where sometimes they try to bring trick questions to him and I love it because it's almost like watching a debate right like they bring a question then he brings an answer and asks them a question so here's where he asks them a question and it's in Matthew 22 41 it says now while there while the Pharisees were gathered together Jesus asked them a question saying who do you think what do you think about the Christ the Messiah whose son is he whose son is he and they said the son of David obviously they don't think he's the son of David like direct biological like David but rather they would say son of the phrase son of could mean grandson great-great-great great-great grandson you were still the son of that person they were still called your father so to speak so they say the son of David and he said to them how is it then that David in the spirit calls him Lord saying and he quotes the Psalms Psalm 110 the Lord said to my lord sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet the Lord said to my lord Jesus then in verse 45 says if then David calls him Lord how is he his son and no one was able to answer him and he leaves this hanging out there the idea is that this son of David is also the Lord Jesus is showing that his identity while he's the son of David and he responds to that title and the Scriptures call him that specifically we're saying there's more to him than merely being that interesting Psalm 110 is that actually that's the psalm Jesus quotes to show that that this son of David is also the lord of David which means who is whose David's Lord who could he be and one greater than David so to speak but it's Psalm 110 'he's also that Melchizedek Psalm where it says I've made you a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek which we talked about several weeks ago so how many times I thought I'd look how many times does Matthew the Gospel of Matthew specifically relate Jesus and David together like this they tie Jesus and David together in some sense it happens nine different times and these are not nine verses because in some times it happens in multiple verses let's consider that one time but nine different occasions nine different things going on where Jesus is related to David so Jesus and David are definitely connected this is pretty obvious that the concept of him being just like a prophet like unto Moses he is a king like unto David so to speak so this makes a lot of sense out of the Psalms when you think about it when you go to the Book of Psalms you read like Psalm 22 and David writes a psalm in first person which appears to be about him but as ultimately about the Messiah the son of David because the two are once foreshadow and the other of the two are interlinked this is why a lot of these Psalms like what they call the imprecatory psalms that's a fancy term for it these are the angry God crushed them Psalms we're he's just crying out God have wrath upon them I've kept my hands clean and all this stuff and their Psalms that make more sense in the mouth of Jesus than they do even in the mouth of David who wrote them and so you go ah so there's this typological connection between Jesus and David that makes these Psalms make even more sense Psalm 22 is a great example of this right where he says my God my God why have you forsaken me why are you so far from the words of my groaning he talks about his hands and feet being pierced his blood being poured out he's dehydrated all these different symptoms of crucifixion and so then Jesus quotes this on the cross and what's interesting is that in even even after that in the Middle Ages rabbis the one popular opinion by rabbis was was this phrase if I got quoted to you this is what they said about Psalm 22 right spoken by David but somehow really about the Messiah well Rashi is this that's you have to remember this phrase Rashi that's the guy's name this is a Hebrew rabbi from the Middle Ages the most popular Hebrew rabbi from the Middle Ages this guy in particular he was so popular they'd taken they've taken his commentary on the Torah the first five books of the Bible and they print it with their Bible the Jewish Bible is printed with Rashi she's commentary standard that's just how it comes so he's very authoritative in rabbinical Judaism he said about Psalm 22 it was because of the ordeal of the son of David that David wept saying my strength is dried up like a potsherd and my tongue sticks to my jaws you've laid me in the dust of death that's one of his mid rashes so he says I'm reading Psalm 22 Rashi is reading in he goes this stuff is written by David but it's about the son of David why because David and the son of David are connected foreshadowing in typology and this is from a non-christian non Messianic Jewish source so I think that's pretty neat so hopefully that helps you I think even when you're reading the Book of Psalms you read it in you go I see now how some stuff that David says that seems odd on his lips makes more sense on Jesus's lips because of the type of logical connection so that's part one now we're stepping into part two part two we're gonna look at the life of David we're just gonna look chronologically through his life kind of survey through the events of David's life from his anointing his King to his trials and tribulations eventually becoming the king we'll look at all that and just ask how is this like Jesus how do we see Jesus in the life of David so first samuel is what we're gonna go so first samuel chapter 16 in verse 1 we have the introduction of really why david comes up at at all right there's already a king in israel and it's a guy named saul saul is the king of the people he's taller and better-looking than everybody else and he's he's brought in he's like the hero figure the classic hero figure and God rejects him so in 1st Samuel 16 1 it says the Lord said to Samuel how long will you grieve over Saul since I have rejected him from being king over Israel fill your horn with oil and go I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehem ight for I've provided for myself a king among his sons now just that phrase I've provided for myself a king among his sons to me is foreshadowing of Christ because he is ultimately the king and it is among those sons it is descendant from David who came from Jesse so the anointing here's here's how it happens um in verse 2 through 5 we read that he's worried samuel who's the prophet of israel he was a he was also a judge of israel but he was his major role was as prophet he's worried because he goes if i head over there to anoint a king guess what King Saul's not gonna like that you know Kings don't usually like other Kings being anointed in their presence lest it's not something they usually enjoy and so he is gonna come under the guise of doing something else so listen to this because I think there's tip illogical significance and Samuel said verse 2 of 4 Samuel 16 how can I go if Saul's II if Saul hears it he'll kill me and the Lord said take a heifer with you and say I've come to sacrifice to the Lord so he takes a heifer and invite Jesse to the sacrifice and I will show you what you shall do and you shall anoint for me him whom I declare to you and Samuel did what the LORD commanded and came to Bethlehem the elders of the city came to meet him trembling and said to you come peaceably they're worried like are we out of trouble is this a bad thing or a good thing and he said peaceably I've come to sacrifice to the Lord consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice and he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice so the anointing of the King happens at the same time as a sacrifice interestingly enough to everyone else in Israel it 'lest looked like a sacrifice but along with this sacrifice was the secret anointing of the new king what does that sound like to you I'm like that is totally what happens to Christ as he comes and he is sacrificed yet he is king of kings and Lord of lords as a result of this very thing so we keep going Samuel he doesn't know during this anointing when he meets David he doesn't know who the king is gonna be he knows it's somebody who's gonna be from the descendant of Jesse one of his sons but he doesn't know which son so in verse 6 as we keep reading it says when they came he looked on le AB and thought surely the Lord's anointed is before him but the Lord said to Samuel do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature because I rejected him for the Lord sees not as man sees man looks on the outward appearance but the Lord looks on the heart and so he does this thing where he marches down through the just through the sons of Jesse Jesse's got a bunch of signs I think he had seven sons if I remember I should wrote that down I think there's seven sons of Jesse and he marches through the sons and he starts with the oldest and he looks at Holly Hobbie he's like all this guy look at this guy he's like king material you know so he's like this is it was like no not him I rejected him and he goes through every Sun every Sun until finally all the suns are gone and he goes you have any more sons Jesse's like well yeah I got you know David but he's out with the Sheep they don't even bring him he's left with the Sheep now as interesting is later on later on when he goes to the to the I'm looking for the verse it's First Samuel 1721 David goes to to the battle that with Goliath he leaves the Sheep right and it says in for Samuel 1720 they left to keeper with the Sheep and David went and visited his brothers well hold on Samuel the Prophet shows up says Elias has Jesse bring your sons to the sacrifice consecrate yourselves he doesn't even leave a keeper with the Sheep David just stays there alone David whatever's going on you don't need to be there it just sounds like he's like not cared for like he's despised or something like there's what like just imagine this you have the most famous guy in the country coming over to your house invites you and your sons specifically and you leave one of them in the field with the Sheep but later on when cheese and bread and you know food needs to be brought to the front lines you have a keeper then and you send your son so let's see it seems to me that um that he was despised in a sense and you might say well that's a stretch but I think that for Samuel 17:20 confirms that Isaiah 53 it says that Jesus was he grew up as a fifty three versus two and through three four he grew up before him like a young plant and like a root out of dry ground he had no former majesty that we should look at him and no beauty that we should desire him he was despised and rejected by men so here we have Saul this great looking King then we've got okay new King he's bad Elia uh not him no not next one not the next one not the next one know which son the one that was the youngest the one that was the smallest so to speak and despised or at least despised at least in a foreshadowing sense if not in some fuller sense it also is interesting to me that Samuel shows up I'm gonna anoint the new king and he like shows up going and I don't know who it is do you do you get the idea that Samuels in the dark Samuel knows there's a new king coming he knows it's God's chosen but he doesn't know what he looks like and he knows he just has to go and get ready to anoint him and this sounds to me like first Peter first Peter chapter 1 verses 10 through 12 it talks about how the prophets they foresaw the sufferings of Christ but they didn't really understand it so they just said what they knew but they didn't understand it fully let me read this to you this is a verse I share frequently because I think it's so neat about how the Old Testament works first Peter 1:10 concerning this salvation the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully inquiring what person or time the spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories what person or time like who is this Christ gonna really be like when is this really gonna happen they didn't know the full answer but verse 12 it says it was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you in the things that you have now been that have now been announced to you through those who preach the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven things into which angels long to look so the prophets knew you know that much about Jesus they share it they write about it but they don't know how it'll look when it's fulfilled so Samuel knew that much about David but didn't know what it would look like in fact he got it wrong he's like surely this is the whoa no not him he does this over and over again with every one of the sons then he's finally anointed in 1st Samuel chapter 16 verse 13 he says then Samuel took the Horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers and the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward David is one of those rare Old Testament people who had the holy spirit rush upon him you know come into his life in some empowering way and stay with him now we see this someone select individuals the New Testament realities we're supposed to all be able to walk in this that's the idea of the New Testament reality but but this anointing at the anointing the Holy Spirit rushes upon him this this relates to Christ you know Christ he comes and he's baptized by John the Baptist and that's the beginning of his ministry right the baptism of John that's when it all begins that's the beginning of his ministry so it's there when he's baptized in Matthew 3:16 it says and when Jesus was baptized immediately he went up from the water and behold the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him and behold a voice from heaven said this is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased with whom I am well pleased so I think what we what we see here is a connection between the anointing of David and you know and the anointing of Jesus with the Holy Spirit as you keep reading um David then goes on the next kind of thing he does in his life is he helps all with with a harmful spirit from the Lord that was upon Saul Saul goes through these weird spiritual battles that he that he experiences right after God rejects him and this sort of evil spirit comes upon him and is basically oppressing him in some sense David comes and he helps and how does he help he plays music what kind of music do you play he thought maybe he was playing some of his Psalms you know and he's he's playing and he's singing to the Lord and that eases the burden that Saul has and Jesus after his anointing he goes out and he's casting out demons and he's casting out the evil spirits of the people in Israel and then we start to get this issue of Saul and David like as did this counterpoint between the two of them Saul is the bad King he's the people's choice and Jesus of course or David is the is is God's choice in is the good King and all the other kings of Israel they're all compared to one guy later on right as you read through first Kings through Chronicles you read through these books they're all compared to David oh and so-and-so was a bad King he didn't do like David did so Monteux was a good King he did like David did David's like the the example the the King in in in in the mind of the Bible as you compare all others to him and Saul I don't know I wonder if there might be this gets into our eschatology but I wonder if Saul might have some connection between him and the Antichrist because he is the king in the eyes of the people who was ultimately rejected by God and who causes problems to the people until they later come to the to the king who was God's choice maybe maybe but that's that's a different issue that's not just about Jesus that's about eschatology stuff so I'll let's move on David was known to the Prophet but not to the king I think that's interesting too it was known to the Prophet but not to the King in fact it was known just to the Prophet and it was hidden from so many people and very slowly people started to realize these things over time Jesus he known to the profit but not to the king whether we're talking about King Herod or you're talking about Caesar they just didn't get it these things we're not revealed to them scripture kind of talks about this God chose to reveal it to to the lowly instead of the high interesting purposely hidden from the King David's kingship replaces a previously ordained temporary King Saul he was ordained God did call him he's the anointed of God right but he was a temporary King and then David's to replace him as being like aha now we've now were there so Jesus he will eventually be king of kings lord of lords and he will take over the world and though according to Roman's 13 governmental Kings they're their ordained by God yet that's all temporary and Christ will eventually come and be the one in charge romans 13 or 14 well if you don't know that I'm right so okay let's talk about David being a shepherd because it's not just incidental that David was with the Sheep when his brothers all came before Samuel the first time around so David is is known as not only was he a shepherd but his shepherding or him being a shepherd was like central to his identity so we're gonna look through some verses that talk about this because Jesus of course is the Good Shepherd so let's connect to these together Ezekiel 34 verse 23 and 24 is a prophetic statement about the future it's in Ezekiel it's written hundreds of years after the time of David and he's talking about some time you know thousands of years beyond then and in Ezekiel 34 23 it says and I will set up over them one Shepherd my servant David and he shall feed them and he shall feed that he shall feed them and be their Shepherd and I the Lord will be their God and my servant David shall be up shall be Prince among them I am the Lord I have spoken so David's identity as David the Shepherd of Israel he's called us several times in the Bible but then there's this prophetic statement in Ezekiel about some future David's gonna show up and he'll be the one shepherd for my people now some people interpret this to think okay David in the reservoir action will be like maybe during the Millennium he's gonna be reigning over the people of Israel others say no it's the tip illogical connection between Jesus and David is so strong that the Bible says David and is just talking about Jesus because he's the king like David and that may be the case in John 10 Jesus says this verse 14 through 16 now think about this if you're a Jew you know Ezekiel 34 34 right you know David my shepherd one Shepherd and he'll feed them and be their Shepherd and all that in John 10 14 Jesus says I am The Good Shepherd I know my own and my own know me just as the father knows me and I know the father and I lay down my life for the Sheep and I have other sheep that are not of this fold I must bring them also and they will listen to my voice so there will be one flock and one Shepherd and that connects to what it says in Ezekiel 34 that there'll be one flock and one Shepherd interesting so Jesus maybe here is tying the connection between David and Jesus a related passage in 2nd samuel chapter 5 2nd Thema 5 verses 1 & 2 it says this then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said behold we are your bone and flesh in times past saul was king over us it was when saul was king over us it was you who let out and brought in israel because he was leading military for israel and the lord said to you and here's where they tell David about a prophecy they know about David so we have it preserved here in 2nd Samuel 5 so the Lord said to you you shall be a shepherd of my people Israel and you shall be Prince over Israel so he's the Shepherd Prince over Israel that's David's identity as a shepherd with the Sheep he was a good shepherd who did what who laid his life down for the Sheep didn't he he talked about how there was a bear and a lion and he went after them and fought them to get his sheep back he laid his life down for the Sheep and then they refer to him as the Shepherd of Israel in Matthew 2 6 it says but you Bethlehem in the land of Judah are not the least among the rulers of Judah where was Jesse born or where did Jesse live and David was born Bethlehem so but you Bethlehem in the land of Judah are not the least among the rulers of judah for out of you shall come a ruler do you know the rest of this verse who will Shepherd my people Israel so the Shepherd concept is strong the shepherding is strong with this one right between David and Jesus it's important that he's a shepherd very interesting very interesting stuff ok first Samuel 1613 it says then Samuel took the Horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers and the Spirit Lord oh I'm reading that one again Psalm 78 verses seventy four seventy it's copy that damaged someone needed that verse right that's the Lord leads me and all my mistakes Psalm 78 verse 70 I'm just making fun of other features right now sorry it says he chose David his servant and took him from the sheepfolds from following the nursing use and brought him to Shepherd Jacob his people Israel his inheritance with it with upright heart he shepherded them and guided them with his skillful hand so bottom line David is the iconic king of Israel whom all the other kings were compared to tied into that identity as king is that he's the Shepherd for Israel Jesus comes as the son of David to be the ultimate the ultimate fulfillment doing even what David Onley foreshadowed being the Good Shepherd who lays his life down for the Sheep that there might be one flock Jew Gentile not just not just Judah and in Israel not just the tribes of Israel but what rather the people of the earth gathered together one in Christ to know God to walk in God to experience what he's done so let's look at 4 Samuel 17 because I'm not even close to done just yet David and Goliath you are very familiar with the story I could spend the whole time on just this story but I will not do that I'm just gonna look at some typical things that we find here so David and Goliath for Samuel 17 the the back story here is that the the Philistines who are like the constant enemies of Israel at the time they're gathered together and their army is on one hill or mountain on one side there's a valley in between and nobody's there pretty much on the other hill or mountain we have the army of Israel so you got two armies on a mountains in the middle is the valley basically if you come down to the valley to fight you got the low ground and we know how that works for Anakin Skywalker it's like don't even do it man you're you've lost they've got the high ground just stop Annie don't you know and and yet this this is kind of like they're sort of locked in arms and they and they don't neither neither army wants to charge the other army because it's just it's just unwise so they decided to do battle by champion or at least the Philistines want to do this and that's what Goliath is he's the champion he's gonna charge out there and he's gonna go have a battle said hey just me one guy faces one guy from your army whoever wins you win the war it's actually in a sense a really good way to solve an issue like that if people will honor it if people honor the decisions but it seems like it doesn't usually happen so Goliath goes out you know do battle by champion and that's in 1st Samuel 17 4 it says and there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath of Gath whose height was six cubits and a span the Hebrew four champion lit like the word itself literally means a man between the two and they interesting the word for champion there it means a man between the two so he I'm gonna be like here's my army there's your army I'm gonna stand between the two and I'll be the champion to represent my people bring out your champion to represent you meaning that the whole context setting this up is one man to represent all the people what does that sound like to you one man to represent all the people to fight one battle to win the whole war that's Jesus so David this is how he finds out about it he's not even part of the military at this point right he takes care of the Sheep he plays music for Saul that he is not part of the military so first Samuel 17 24 and all the men of Israel when they saw the man fled from him and were much afraid nobody wants to fight this guy and the men of Israel said have you seen this man who was who has come up surely he has come up to defy Israel and the king will enrich the man who kills him with great riches and will give him his daughter and make his father's house free in Israel meaning they don't have to pay like whatever fines or fees were levied on them by Saul and David said to the men who stood by him what shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel for who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy notice he doesn't just say Israel he says the armies of the Living God to him this is a spiritual battle that's going on right this isn't just the physical thing and the people answered him in the same way so shall it be done to the man who kills him um I like that David saw this for what it was he didn't just look out and say big guy scary he rather sees that this is about God's kingdom and this is about the fact that goliaths coming here mocking god mocking our God mocking us against our God and that sort of thing that's what he cared about he had lots of zeal and he had a lot of courage and he asks about the results the results are highlighted in the passage what will be done for the man who kills Goliath these are the results one it'll take away the reproach of Israel that's that's what David says he goes to take away the reproach of Israel in Colossians 122 it says that Jesus has now reconciled in the body of flesh excuse me he's reconciled in the body of his flesh by his death in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him Jesus through his death through this one act as our champion the man who goes between he takes care of our approach so that's the one thing the first thing he's like this will result will be their approach is taken away the second one is the man will be enriched the man will be wealthy or at least he's supposed to be I don't know if Saul honored any of these things later on but this is what's supposed to happen and it's highlighted not because it happened it's highlighted because it's supposed to happen which actually fits it the typology more than anything else Dave will supposedly be enriched right but the the Bible says that Jesus after making his sacrifice on the cross was given the name above every name he's now exalted and it says in Hebrews 1:2 in these last days God has spoken to us by his son whom he appointed the heir of half of everything know of all things the the entire everything all things the entire universe he's the heir of all things but then it's careful to note in case you think that Jesus like in Mormon theology Jesus basically wasn't as great as he was basically in his you know before his first coming he was good and everything you know his firstborn you know son of God in a sense but then he came down died and then he became exalted and became a god so his second state was better than his first state before his coming that's the Mormon theology but Hebrews is careful to point out through whom also he created the world and then it goes on he's the brightness of his glory and all these things so Jesus is his state from before and after were the same but yet the ideas he's enriched he's enriched the third thing that David gets or supposed to get doesn't exactly quite get is a bride Saul's daughter so he's gonna take away reproach he's gonna enrich himself and he's gonna gain a bride and I think that we know what bride that might be if we're looking at foreshadowing now it's interesting to me how his brothers respond cuz dave is now talking smack he's uncircumcised philistine like who's gonna wait what are you let's just go get him like I'll get him and so in 1st Samuel 17 28 we have his brothers now le ab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men and le Aves anger was kindled against david and he said why have you come down and with whom have you left those who few sheep in the wilderness I know your presumption and the evil of your heart for you have come down to see the battle like you're just being nosy or something and the idea here is that David's brother may be brothers don't believe in him in John 7 5 it says for even his brothers for not even his brothers believed in him Jesus's brothers didn't believe in him that's interesting as well isn't it hmm now later on they're gonna gather with him when he's hiding in the caves and his family actually comes to be with him maybe they'd believed in him later on like Jesus's brothers did too so David gets ready for battle with Goliath and Goliath in for Samuel 1740 then he took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones from the brook and put them in his shepherd's pouch his sling was in his hand and he approached the Philistine right he comes with what the implements of a shepherd a staff and a sling he puts the stones where in his shepherd's pouch like that's really macho dude okay he comes with the implements of a shepherd to fight this battle why because he tried Saul's now back then armor was really rare you had to be a very wealthy to own armor own even a sword for that matter your own weapons and things like this that weren't just like farming implements turned into weapons and Saul he had a set of armor maybe the only one available and he tries to give it to David but Saul is huge so it doesn't fit David it's too big for him and he's like yeah I don't know how to even walk in this stuff and so he just says forget it I'm just gonna be my stuff he goes oh this staff and his sling which is of course like a piece of cloth to string on it and his shepherd's pouch with five stones so he but goes to battle as a shepherd and good figure shepherd lays his life down right then the taunting begins in first samuel 1745 David responds to I won't read the taunts from the Philistine from Goliath here but but he's mocking the God of Israel mocking David he's like you you're calming me with a stick am i a dog did you come over with a stick he's laughing and it's funny how he's like you're coming with a stick and I just I wonder because Jesus conquered Satan with some sticks basically but with just wood what with what looked like would be his own demise ended up being the enemy the enemy's demise but then David responds in verse 45 then David said to the Philistine you come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin but I I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts the god of the armies of we'll whom you have defied he comes in Yahweh's name that's what I notice David's like how am I gonna fight you how am i coming in Yahweh's name it's not about what I've got with me it's about God in John 5:43 Jesus says I've come in the name of my father and you do not receive me if another comes in his own name you will receive him in John 12 13 it says so they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him crying out Hosanna blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord the king of Israel and here's David when did David come in the name of the Lord he came to kill Goliath in him and Lord Jesus shows up and he has the same sort of showdown going on right then even for Samuel 17 46 this day the Lord will deliver you into my hand this is David continuing to talk to the Philistine the Lord will deliver you into my hand and I will strike you down and cut off your head and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the beat to the wild beasts of the earth that all the Earth may know that there is a God in Israel and that all this assembly may know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear for the battle is the Lord's and He will give it give give you into our hand the meaning of this victory that David has with Goliath is given to us by David's own words he's like the point of this is so that they'll know God's not going to save us with sword and spear that there's an unconventional salvation for the people that's the idea an unexpected method of victory then there's the battle in verse 48 which connects to Jesus I don't think I need to make the connections before you I think I see it verse 48 this is when the Philistines arose and came and drew near to meet David the Philistine singular just Goliath David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine and David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and slung it and struck the Philistine on his forehead the stone sank into his forehead and he fell on his face to the ground so David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone and struck the Philistine and killed him there was no sword in the hand of David then David ran and stood over the Philistine took his sword took the Philistine sword Goliath's sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead they fled interesting the the the way this all happened he's defeated with a stone now we've already done this so I won't do it again but the connection there's multiple connections between stones and Jesus in the Bible deliberate purposeful clear connections this is not we're not doing guesswork here right this is clear he is he is the the rock that was struck I mean he is in Daniel you know he is the stone that that company made without hands that comes in strikes and destroys the kingdoms of the world and fills the earth he is this stone and so I think there may be a connection here is that he's killed with a stone in fact the battle the the original ultimate battle prophesied in Genesis is that Eve's descendants would be right his heel would be crushed or bruised rather by the serpent but he would crush the Serpent's head and here we have this stone going into Goliath's head and just one blow crushes his skull and he falls down flat but that's not the thing that ends it entirely I mean the battles basically over right now in David just walks over grabs the guy's sword and chops off his head so there's like this two-stage victory in a sense so with Christ in his first coming he threw the stone that struck down the enemy and his second coming he comes with a sword right in Revelation that's the first time you read about Jesus with a sword is the book of Revelation and he's coming back that way interesting so then saul gets jealous King Saul gets jealous as we move away from the the study with Goliath and we talk about Saul and David and their interaction Saul tries to kill David a lot like he does this multiple times David will be playing music and saw Saul picks up a spear and just throws it him could you imagine as soon as I think about this what was it like in the room like he's the king of Israel like what right do we have but he's going crazy you know he threw his spear at David maybe like whoa you know what what did he do babies as I'll come back later when you're feeling better you know like what do you do at that point you know but Saul tries to kill him with Spears a couple different times tries to kill him with Philistines where he sets he sets on the task to kill a certain umber Philistines that he thinks they will fail David succeeds he tries to kill him with his own soldiers that he sends out to kill him he sends out people to go go get David and just kill him and they can't instead they prophesy it's this really interesting story in first samuel 19 they had out they they're gonna we're gonna get David and they just prophesied what did they prophesy I don't know maybe it was about Jesus maybe it was about David being the future king I don't know what they prophesied but but they prophesied and then he sends out another group and they prophesy and he can't get people to take to take David then Saul goes out himself and he prophesized so let me let's read the passage first samuel 19 verse 19 and it was told Saul behold David is at nay off in Rama then Saul sent messengers to take David because he wants to kill him and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying by the way Samuels there right so in Samuel standing has head over them Samuels there with this group of prophetic people and they're prophesying it says then the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul and they also prophesied when it was told Saul he sent other messengers and they also prophesied and Saul sent messengers again at the third time and they also prophesied in other words they can't take him down because God intervenes when they try to take him verse 22 then he himself went to Rama and came to the great well that is in Saku and he asked where are Samuel and David and one said Behold they are at Nathan Rama and he went there two now off in Rama and the Spirit of God came upon him also and as he went he prophesied until he came to the hoth in Rama and he too stripped off his clothes and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night thus it is said is saw also among the prophets remembering a saying of the time by the way when the Bible refers to someone being naked I don't think it requires full entire nakedness we are somewhat twisted in our thinking that we that we that we have a culture where you could be wearing a bikini and you're considered closed think about that so anyway John 744 it says this about connecting this to Jesus he says some of them wanted to arrest him but no one laid hands on him the officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees who said to him said to them why did you not bring him they like go arrest him and then they come back and they didn't bring Jesus the officers answered no one ever spoke like this man they're like we just couldn't do it I know no one's ever talked like this guy and the Pharisees answered them have you also been deceived in fact we even read about Caiaphas who prophesied prophesied that Jesus would die for the people now what's interesting is he didn't understand the prophecy just like first Peter says some of the even prophets didn't understand though all the details about their own prophecies so he didn't get it but later on he supports the crucifixion of Jesus thinking ah when they killed Jesus it'll save us because he's claiming to be king and it's gonna cause an uproar and then the rooms gonna come and crackdown on us I didn't realize no he's gonna save us salvation like actual forgiveness of our sins and so he too like Saul who's trying to kill David Caiaphas trying to kill Jesus prophesize about him isn't that interesting so the so the rightful future king is persecuted and rejected by the authority who's supposed to be pointing to him but they're more concerned about their own power and reputation that's it's just like Jesus in John 11 48 I'll read the passage to you it says if we let him go on like this everyone will believe in him and the Romans will come and take away both our place in our nation but one of them who was high priest in that year said you know nothing at all nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people not that the whole nation should perish perish not Paris that's a different thing altogether wrong translation there in my prayer he did not say this of his own accord but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation and not for the nation only but for but also to gather into one the children of God who were scattered abroad so that so from that day on they made plans to put him to death so the plan the agenda now is to kill Jesus it really is like Saul he knows stuff about David he knows you'll read later he knows that David's gonna be the next king but he plots against him anyways okay then David next thing he does that's worth it you know think of interest to us is in chapter 21 or for Samuel he goes to a Kish and in Gath and he pretends to be insane this is a really strange passage right where he like he's letting spit come down his beard and he's worried he's like I'm being chased by saw I can't go to Israel so he goes to the Gentiles and the Gentiles were like hey this is the champion of Israel so they might attack him and seek to kill him so he pretends to be insane now the if there's a parallel here I'm sure this is a stretch I fully admit it ok this will be all my cards are on the table right this is a stretch if there's a parallel here to me the the parallel is this is that David was an offense to the Jews right and he was foolishness to the Gentiles and that's what the Bible says about Jesus we preach Christ crucified a stumbling block to the Jews and folly to the Gentiles he literally went and they thought he was crazy right to the to the Gentiles and to the Jews the the ones in charge you know Saul in his group they were offended by him his is David is slain his ten thousands you know and offended by the prophecies made concerning him offended by by the fact that God was an anointing was on him so they attacked them so I think that's pretty interesting it's pretty maybe but 6040 southern maybe 70/30 99 would not know maybe all right so the next thing that happens is David then he goes in his life he hides among the Gentiles and he's then eventually received among the Gentiles actually the non this is where David's next season of his life is he's received by the Gentiles while he is rejected by his own people have you guys caught the theme yet as we've been doing this with Joseph as we look with Moses we're seeing this now in David - God is setting up these consistent foreshadowings so for Samuel 22 verses 1 & 2 it says David departed from there and escaped to the cave of agile 'im and when his brothers and and all his father's house heard it they went down there to him so now they come to him and everyone who was in distress and everyone who was in debt and everyone who was bitter in soul gathered to him and he became commander over them and there were with him about 400 men so the groups of people are just in distress in debt and bitter in soul and they gather to David during his time where he's being rejected by ultimately the larger part of his own people in Matthew 5 and his Sermon on the Mount we read about the poor in spirit those who mourn and those who are meek we Jesus saying come to me all you who labor and weary and are heavy laden and I'll give you rest for your souls we read about this in 1st Corinthians 1:26 it says for consider your calling brothers not many of you are wise according to worldly standards not many were powerful not many were of noble birth but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong God chose what is low and despised in the world even the things that are not to bring to nothing the things that are now this is going to be a in multiple cases where God does this he gathers a people to himself in this case to David who were like the offscouring of society you know like what use are you come to me and then they become his mighty men interesting total coincidence though just a coincidence in 1st Samuel 27 we have David now serving a Kish this may have been actually a different a Kish could have or it could be in the same one I'm not sure because they kitsch might have been a title or it could have been a name so David's now serving him and this is really it's kind of neat David as far as they're concerned David has now rejected his own people Israel and he's going around and he's working for the Gentiles but he's not secretly he goes out and he fights for Israel and then he comes back and tells them like oh yeah yeah I killed who you wanted me to kill like he's he's tricking them now there's a season where after the rejection of Jesus by the Jewish people the larger eventually at first it was Jewish the largest part of Christianity was Jewish but eventually its Gentile it's a Jewish minority amongst mostly Gentile and to a lot of Jews they look and they're like Jesus basically he works for the Gentiles and that's how it's viewed to them yet the Lord is still preserving his people Israel he's still fighting for them he's still helping them and he's still with them I think I was really interesting then we have David in a situation where he's I had an opportunity to kill saw multiple times no I'm getting worried oh well you'll just have to miss out on stuff so David will not kill Saul on two separate occasions and he simply says no it's not time I won't kill Saul it's not time and if Saul represents the enemies of Jesus ultimately persecuting him whether it's the kingdoms of this world or the Antichrist or something like that he has the power to take them down but it's not the time yet is the idea then Saul dies and for Samuel 31 Saul dies but not by David's hand it's by the Philistines and note the tragedy that fell on Saul and on Israel after they had rejected David if they had just kept David he would have been there with him in that battle they probably would've done fine right but so Israel terrible tragedies fell upon them as a nation after having rejected Jesus a few more points in semi closing David regularly inquires of the Lord it happens consistently in it's a theme in his life is just reading through the life of David which is rather large portion of Scripture by the way just gotta take her back I'm just kidding there's a joke but but David he inquires of the Lord he does this all the time he's always inquiring of the Lord should I go here should I do this should I attack those people should I run from this person over here what should I do he's always inquiring of the Lord in John 5:19 Jesus says the son can do nothing of his own own accord but only what he sees the father doing for whatever the father does the son does likewise that Jesus he part of his humanity was that he was living dependent upon the father for the direction of what he would do healing people or whatever he was gonna do he was always being led of the Lord David we find this probably more than any other king of Israel this is consistent in him David was zealous for one major thing after he became King what did he care about it seems more than anything else there we know the temple man he wanted that Ark of the Covenant there in Jerusalem with him where he was where he was king he wanted that temple built and he planned it out he was told he couldn't build it but he had to so much zeal when did he dance with Mike before the Lord when they were bringing the ark in and he didn't care if it made him look foolish right zeal for God's house consumed him that was David well that's what is said of Jesus that zeal for the Lord's house consumed him he shows up and he's over turning the tables he's like what do you do to my temple you know and he's upset about it he designs the temple but he's not allowed to build it and this is where I think Solomon becomes a type of Christ and David becomes a type of the father because here's how it works David is told 1st chronicles 28 3 from God you may not build a house for my name for you are a man of war and have shed blood the idea was that the house for my name needs to be built by someone who has not shed blood because Jesus would die but he wouldn't do it by war he would die to build the house so David designs it did you know that he the blueprints all that David did all that he even gathered resources and materials for it he planned it all out so that when Solomon came he's like finally it's time you're here do it build the house so Solomon builds the house so the father plans that the son fulfils it this to me looks very much a lot like what Jesus did the best part is right here but I don't feel like I have time so I'll skip it let's see I'm just I'm just giving through my notes here to see what else that might include david has a prayer for Solomon and I feel like it could almost be said about Jesus and keep in mind the Davidic promise the promise got me to David we've talked with us already but it was a promise to David about his future son it was specifically directed to Solomon but the words work even better for Jesus it's one of those foreshadowing things so here's his prayer for his son before he dies in first chronicles 29:19 to Solomon my son a whole heart that he may keep your Commandments your testimonies your statutes performing all and that he may build the palace for which I have made provision speaking of the temple did he may what keep God's commandment and perform all of them he's praying that Solomon will fully obey all of the law Jesus shows up and he's like what I did not come to destroy the law or the prophets but to fulfill these words make more sense with Jesus than they do with Solomon and of course he built a house he says to them destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up and he's speaking at the temple of his body and then he makes us his body the temple of the Holy Spirit the last thing in David's life I'll mention here is 2nd Samuel 24 and here it is at the end of the book of 2nd Samuel and it's the last thing it really says about him and it's about a plague the story is interesting when you take 2nd Samuel and chronicles you take the two passages put them together what you get is this Israel is in sin and then God divinely orchestra I won't get into all the whole sovereignty issues that are related to this but God divinely orchestrated David will have a census of Israel and then God will judge David and Israel through this sin this census was somehow sinful he should have done it so David he then does the census and then a plague enters the land and thousands are dying because of this plague and then there's this vision of this angel who's the plague stops it's an angel actually slang and the angel stops and he stops therein in Jerusalem at Ranas threshing floor we get two different names for this guy depending probably on just different ways of pronouncing his name in you know Chronicles and Samuel but there there is it the threshing floor of Araunah right and David's like okay the angel had stopped there like waiting and David goes out now on behalf of Israel and he makes sacrifices right there on the spot he makes a bunch of sacrifice and the sacrifice stops the plague even though it was supposed to continue it stops the plague that's it that's the end the last thing David does in second Samuel is intercede for the people make a sacrifice and stop the plague the plague of death and where did he do it or on his threshing floor you know what you know what they did there later on when Solomon built the temple you know where he built it right where David had done his sacrifice right there in Jerusalem around his threshing floor also known as at Mount Moriah where Abraham had offered Isaac right where the temple is foreshadowing yes I think so I think we are pretty safe to say that I think that there's these all these different elements in the life of David and probably more that I didn't even notice and don't know about and I'm happy to find out about more in the future but but yeah just just neat stuff neat stuff now one thing I'll tell you it turned out I'd like to do and I don't know if I'll get to it next week or if it's gonna be a couple weeks out as I do this study on typology I get worried that people would misuse this because you can totally abuse typology I'm you may not think I am but I'm being very careful and very thoughtful and how I present it in what I do I have to have a New Testament truth in order to find some Old Testament typology that's kind of the general idea but some people abuse typology and I thought how do I protect people who were part of the series from abusing typology and I thought well how about we just in one of our studies we just do a bunch of examples of bad typology so I'm gonna dig up people doing it's wrong and we're gonna do a study where we where we not to make fun of anybody but we look at it and just go why is that wrong because I feel like we need to make sure we go overboard and we don't go off the rails so to speak so we'll do that maybe next week if I can pull it together in Oh two weeks I've two week because next week is the wedding yes so we're not here next week so yeah maybe two weeks will be enough time to prepare we'll see let's pray father God we are grateful we're grateful Father for just the tapestry of scripture to see Jesus it's exciting it's just exciting to see this stuff we're grateful Lord for who you are and for what you've done and we're excited to just see more and more of Jesus throughout the Scriptures as I think you've always intended for us to see we just pray for wisdom discretion but also insight into the scriptures as we do this and we ask that we would be equipped to share these truths with others and encourage and uplift and help them in Jesus name Amen [Music]
