Ten women on the rooftop is a fitting picture to think about as we get very close to the end of the study. If the old covenant had been perfect there would no place have been sought for a new one (Hebrews 8:7). In no passage do we see the “better-ness” of our Christian covenant and our King Jesus, than in 2 Samuel 16, where David’s concubines on the rooftop were violated by his own son Absalom. What wretchedness that David even had concubines at the palace. What an awful state of things when his own son Absalom was willing to, at the counsel of Ahithophel, abuse them sexually in the sight of all of Israel. I hope you can ascertain here that the pinnacle of that house of the King was not at all like that of the House of our King, the church, today. That rooftop was the point of instigation for David’s great fall with Bathsheba and it was the place of this heinous situation with the deserted concubines. I know, from this and other instances, that you can see, with me, that David’s reign was far inferior to the reign of our King Jesus. We praise Him for the perfection–the completeness–of our crowned sovereign! We anticipate being in the presence of our King through a perfect and endless reign!
This little excerpt from a pre-school/kindergarten Bible class in Pulaski, Tennessee last Sunday is rich. I did NOT get permission from my friend Leslie Hamby to post this here, because I know Jake and Leslie well enough to know that anything that encourages people toward heaven is public domain. They are a light to me and to everyone who knows them. Their four little girls are rich and perfect blessings from God. Jake and Leslie are determined to give them all right back to Him! If you’d like top know Leslie, better, join us tonight (7/25/24) at 7 CST for the Digging Deep podcast. She’ll be with me to discuss the rich and detailed study of David and Jesus as mighty prophets. I can’t wait. Here’s Leslie:
The KJV in 1 Samuel 27:10 has Achish asking David “Whither have you made a road today?” More correct, for our vernacular today is “Where have you made a raid today?”
In 1 Samuel 24, David had this amazing opportunity to kill his foe. Saul went into a cave to relieve himself. At the risk of being graphic, it looks as if, in doing this, that he was squatting or sitting. Afterward, he rose up. Before he did rise up, though, David, who was apparently already hiding in the cave, stealthily crept over and whacked off a piece of Saul’s clothing.
Have you once been enlightened about the Lord? Do you know His story? Have you tasted salvation? Have you known just how good the Word of the Lord is in your life? Did you once rest in knowing the power and sovereignty of the anointed One?
I’d like to take the next couple of blog posts to tie up loose ends in the February Digging Deep study. We will talk more about the “persecution” aspect of the lives of David and the Messiah in March, but I wanted to notice a couple of things from Month 6 that are powerful in their applications for us.
It’s Thanksgiving week as you read. I hope it is the beginning of a holiday season that will bless your heart with warm memories for many years. For some, though, the holidays will bring painful memories of abuse or loss of a loved one or long days of mental torture or longer nights of physical pain. Even with the challenges that come to all people in a fallen world, the church of God, the redeemed, have constant cause for joy and thanksgiving. We are gathered around his banquet table every day of every year as we walk in His light.
