JESUS AND DAVID.
Jesus was the ROOT and the OFFSPRING of the old King David. He was not "David" or "the David!"
Revelation 5:5 "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." Revelation 22:16 "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
Yet the Bible indicates that in the latter days, Jesus is going to "set up" a "David", a "servant David", a "prince", a "king" (not capitalised), a "shepherd", a "witness", "leader" and "commander to the people". Revelation says that Jesus even holds the "key of David."
So!--Keep your eyes open for a true David, who leads the Children of God, in the latter days! Not an earthly political Israeli king David, as the Antichrist will be made, but a spiritual shepherd, who will lead God's sheep towards the King of Kings, the Lord Jesus! |
