King David as a “type” of Jesus
reading backwards into the Older Testament
OT writers couldn’t see or know.
KING DAVID… David and goliath. D. 1 School saw him.
King Saul. Rebellious Israel! Saul goes crazy…
David anointed as king.
King David… BELOVED KING
Prophets spoke about him!
Seemed to speak about him and yet past him!

“Here I will make a horn grow for David
and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
2 Samuel 7:12-16 12 When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. … 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.’”
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (PHAROAH)
7 Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.

The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
