Big Picture Overview  of OT – Understanding Isaiah in Its OT Context (Part 14)

 

Previously: “Putting David on the Map” – the Bible Study Portions of Our Previous Sessions in May.

 

___________________________________________________

 

Tonight, a brief note re

David & Solomon as Prophetic Types:

 

David

Warrior King, prevailing over seemingly invincible enemies, humiliation, evil & darkness,…

and

Poet of Worship & Priest-like King, and Prophet of the Messiah as Lord & Savior.

 

On David as priest-like king (or king who is priestly), recall the connection of 2 Samuel 6:14 & 1 Chron. 15:27 to 1 Samuel 2:18. [See Exodus 28:6-14.]

1 Sam. 2:18 - Samuel was ministering before the LORD, a boy clothed with a linen ephod.

2 Sam. 6:14 - And David danced before the LORD with all his might. And David was wearing a linen ephod.

1 Chronicles 15:27 - David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as also were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the music of the singers. And David wore a linen ephod.

 

Solomon

Prince of Peace & Supremely Wise Judge drawing People from the End of the Earth; &  Builder of the Temple.

God’s covenant promises to David (and to David’s Seed, Son & House) are central to the NT. For example:

 

Isaiah 55:1-5

 

Romans 1:1-4- Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which He promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,…

 

Luke 1:32-33 - He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

 

Acts 15

 

____________________________________________________________________

 

The “Davidic Covenant:”

God Makes Promises to –

“makes a covenant” [per later passages] with –

David, David’s Seed/Son & House

 

1 Samuel 7/ 1 Chronicles 17

 

“covenant,” e.g. - 2 Sam. 23:5; 2 Chron. 7:18; Psalm 89:3; Jer. 33:21

 

Psalm 89

 

1 Chronicles 22:8-13

 

1 Chronicles 28:1-10

 

1      Kings 2:4; 6:11-2; 9:4-9 (re & to Solomon)

 

2 Samuel 7

 

7:1-3

 

7:4-7/ 7:8-16

 

(7:17)

 

7:18-29

 

 

Promises to Abram/Abraham => Fulfillment in David and/or Promises to David

-        “kings” Genesis 17:6,16 => David & Sons

-        “great nation” Genesis 12:2 => Israel under David & Solomon e.g., key juncture at 2 Samuel 7:1

-        David brings the promised “place” & “rest”

-        “great name” Promise to Abram in Genesis 12:2 => Promise to David in 2 Samuel 7:9

-          Promises keyed to Abraham’s & then to David’s “seed” (e.g., Genesis 21:12, 2 Samuel 7:12-16)

-        Abraham’s seed will possess gates of enemies Genesis 22:17 => (David will defeat enemies) God will give rest from enemies 2 Sam. 7:11

-        Special personal relationship with Abraham & his seed e.g., Genesis 17:7-8, and with David & his seed 2 Samuel 7:24

-        Conditions re obedience of son/seed Genesis 17:1,18:19 & 2 Samuel 7:14

Putting David on the Map

 

1 Samuel 16

16:1 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 Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.”

16:6-7 When they came, he [Samuel] looked on Eliab 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 have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”

16:10-13 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel.

And Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen these.” Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, “There remains yet the youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here.”

And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome.

And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.”

Big Picture Overview  of OT – Understanding Isaiah in Its OT Context (Part 11)

 

Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets,

He [Jesus] interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

 

John 1:45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

 

Cf. 2 Corinthians 3:6 & 12-14 - And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. But their minds were hardened.

For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted,

because only through Christ is it taken away.

… and, e.g., Hebrews 8:7 - For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.

Exodus 34:27 - And the LORD said to Moses, “Write these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

 

 

Deuteronomy 5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.

 

The “Book of the Covenant” – Exodus 19-24

__________________________________________________________

 

Exodus 19:2-11

They set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before the mountain, 3 while Moses went up to God.

The LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying,

“Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel:

4 You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

5 Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant,

you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine;

6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’

These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”

7 So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him. 8 All the people answered together and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD.

9 And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.”

When Moses told the words of the people to the LORD, 10 the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments 11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.”

 

Exodus 24:7

a Then he [Moses] took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people.

b And they said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”

 

Exodus 24:12 The LORD said to Moses,

“Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the tablets of stone,

with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.”

______________________________________________________

 

Exodus 2:23-24

23 Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God.

24 So God heard their groaning; and

God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

 

Exodus 3:4-6,12

4 When the LORD saw that he [Moses] turned aside to look,

God called to him from the midst of the bush, and said, “Moses, Moses!”

And he said, “Here I am.”      hin·nê·nî

5 Then He said, “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”

6 He said also,

“I am the God of your father: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”

 

Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

12 And He said, “Certainly I will be with you, and

this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you:

when you have brought the people out of Egypt,

you shall serve/worship

God at this mountain.”

The “Book of the Covenant” – Exodus 19-24

 

Exodus 24:3 Moses came and told the people all the words kāl-diḇ·rêof the LORD and

all the rules/judgments/case-rulings kāl-ham·miš·pā·ṭîm.

And all the people answered with one voice and said,

All the words kāl-had·də·ḇā·rîm that the LORD has spoken, we will do.”

 

Cf. Deut. 4:13 And He declared to you his covenant, which He commanded you to perform, that is, the “Ten Commandments” [KJV/NIV/ESV… but Heb. - ‘ă·śe·reṯ had·də·ḇā·rîm], & He wrote them on two tablets of stone.
