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
Abraham
so he's the son of David the son of Abraham
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
next week if I can pull it together in Oh two weeks I've two week because next
Oh two weeks I've two week because next week is the wedding yes so we're not
week is the wedding yes so we're not here next week so yeah maybe two weeks
here next week so yeah maybe two weeks will be enough time to prepare we'll see
will be enough time to prepare we'll see let's pray father God we are grateful
let's pray father God we are grateful we're grateful Father for just the
we're grateful Father for just the tapestry of scripture to see Jesus it's
tapestry of scripture to see Jesus it's exciting it's just exciting to see this
