979 BC: The Suffering of David and the Messianic Psalms Aug 22, 2015

Show notes

Once Absolam goes to Hebron and declares himself king, his rebellion increases in strength and numbers and David has to evacuate Jerusalem. Upon his evacuation from Jerusalem, David and his court and his mighty men marched for two miles to and up the Mount of Olives. The two mile march is filled with weeping and mourning and prophetic symbolism.
In addition, the psalms written during or about this time period express the true heart of David. The mourning and sadness of the march combined with the prophetic gift of worship touch the heart of God to such proportions that psalms 22 and others speak of the future suffering of Jesus upon the cross and the forgiveness of all sins on the cross at Calvary.
2 Samuel 15:13 - 2 Samuel 16:14
Psalms 3, 55, 38, 42 and 22

979 BC: Absalom and the Spirit of Rejection Aug 08, 2015

Show notes

After Amnon's rape of Tamar, the Bible says that King David was furious, but it does not state he disciplined his son. The lack of detail implies King David did nothing, which fueled the hatred between Absalom, the brother of Tamar, and Amnon. After two years, Absalom killed Amnon to avenge the rape of his sister. After the murder of his brother, Absalom fled from Israel and is allowed back into Israel after three years, but not allowed to see the king for another two years.
Five years of not seeing his father and the rejection of his father led Absalom to full-blown rebellion. In this episode, we discuss the rebellion of Absalom and the spirit of rejection.

990 BC: Amnon and Tamar Aug 01, 2015

Show notes

Temporary self-satisfaction and sin always has long-term consequences. While God forgives, consequences for our sins still have long ranging consequences. The seeds of sin that David committed with Bathsheba have not yet born fruit, until now. Amnon, the eldest son of David, falls in love with Tamar, the daughter of David, and he commits a heinous crime against her. In this episode, we discuss the horrible crime of rape and the spirit of self hatred.

Show notes

After David sins, God sends Nathan the Prophet to confront David regarding his sin. Nathan tells David a story of a shepherd who entertains a stranger, but he refuses to kill one of his many lambs to feed the stranger, but instead, he seizes an only lamb from a neighbor to feed the stranger. When David declares this man should pay back fourfold what he took, Nathan points straight at him and says "you are the man."

1000 BC: King David and Mephibosheth Jun 13, 2015

Show notes

King David, the benevolent monarch, sits in his palace and declares these words: “is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” Then, David learns that Jonathan, his best friend, has a surviving son named Mephibosheth, who is lame in both feet.
Mephibosheth goes to the king assuming his life was going to end because he was the surviving grandson of the previous King Saul, but instead King David does something, again, that is way beyond his time and shows the heart of God towards his children.
