970 BC: King Solomon the Beloved Nov 07, 2015

King Solomon walks into an immediate two-fold blessing as king of Israel. These blessing are hidden in his two names. The name Solomon means Peace, yet Solomon is also called Jedidah by God in 2 Samuel 12. Jedidah means God's Beloved. The blessing of God's beloved is evident in the romantic Song of Songs and the man of peace will be evident in his blessings and the Book of Proverbs. In this episode, we cover King Solomon - God's Beloved and God's rules for Kings and his heart for his children.

970 BC: King Solomon and the Great White Throne of Judgment Oct 24, 2015

Show notes

After the failed coup of Adonijah, David gave Solomon very specific orders on how to deal with his internal enemies. His orders were a very distinct departure from the mercy David displayed throughout his life. In an apparent contradiction, we see a type and shadow of the end of the age and the Great White Throne of Judgment.

970 BC: David's Succession Crisis and the Intercession of Bathsheba Sep 12, 2015

Show notes

King David falls ill and the Bible says that he cannot keep warm, even without covers. The king's failing health inspires dark motivations in Adonijah, the fourth son of David. Adonijah, with the support of Joab and Abiathar, calls himself king. In reaction to this, Nathan the prophet and Zadok the priest and Benaiah and David's guard come to the aid of David, who is petitioned by Bathsheba to announce the kingship of Solomon. In this episode, we discuss the succession of crisis of David and the intercession of Bathsheba.

Show notes

In one of David's final actions before his death, he commands Joab to take a census of the fighting men. Joab and the army commanders refute David's command, but David persists. As the results of the census come in, David is convicted of the sin of pride and possibly greed and as a consequence of this sin, a plague strikes Israel which only David's intercession upon the future temple mount could atone for.
