“THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!” By Pastor Robert Oliver
Psalm 132:11 says~ “THE LORD HATH 'SWORN' IN TRUTH UNTO DAVID; HE WILL 'NOT' TURN FROM IT; OF THE 'FRUIT' OF THY 'BODY' WILL I SET UPON 'THY' THRONE!”
Oh Glory to GOD Beloved for This 'Incredible' Verse today! David, 'by' GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT Here, "Reveals" to Us Exactly What 'Transpired' Between Him and GOD When the "DAVIDIC COVENANT" Was Established! Now, There were Certain 'Criteria' Which 'Had' to Be Met, in order for One to Be 'Considered' as Qualified to Be the "TRUE MESSIAH!" And GOD 'Tells' David Here, that the "MESSIAH" Would be a Full-Blooded 'JEWISH' Descendant of “His” Royal Lineage! So Let’s Look 'Closer' at Verse 11 and Observe “7” Divine Facts 'Concerning' the "HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, YESHUAH HA’MASHIACH!"
First, Notice “WHO” Makes This Promise: David writes~ “THE 'LORD' HATH!” Oh Yes Indeed Saints, it was "GOD ALMIGHTY, EL SHADDAI, YEHOVA, YAWEEH HIMSELF, WHO 'MADE' THIS PROMISE TO DAVID!" The Psalmist Says: “You Can 'Trust' This 'WORD' Because of the ONE WHO GAVE IT!!!"
But Secondly, Notice “WHAT” HE Did: He says~ “THE LORD HATH SWORN!” What? Did You 'Hear' That? It’s an 'OATH' that was Made By "GOD!" The 'Hebrew' Word here is “SHABA!” Listen, It Literally Means~ “TO SWEAR BY 'REPEATING' A DECLARATION 7 TIMES!” Did You 'Hear' That? “GOD” SWORE “7” TIMES TO 'FULFILL' THIS "PROMISE TO DAVID!" Hebrews 6:13 says~ “FOR WHEN GOD MADE 'PROMISE' TO ABRAHAM, BECAUSE HE COULD 'SWEAR' BY NONE GREATER, HE 'SWEAR' BY HIMSELF!!!” Listen Carefully Beloved, OUR GOD "WANTS US TO KNOW" that "WHAT HE 'PROMISES' IN HIS WORD, HE WILL 'FULFILL' IN OUR LIVES!!!"
Ok Thirdly, Notice “HOW” HE Promised: David writes~ “THE LORD HATH SWORN 'IN' TRUTH!” Oh Me Oh My Beloved, I’m So 'Glad' that "OUR GOD IS THE GOD OF TRUTH!" Paul said~ “LET GOD BE 'TRUE', But Every Man a Liar!” JESUS Said~ “I AM THE WAY, THE 'TRUTH', AND THE LIFE!” JESUS Said~ “BUT HE, WHEN HE IS COME, EVEN THE SPIRIT OF 'TRUTH', WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE…HE SHALL GUIDE YOU INTO 'ALL' TRUTH!” And I’m So 'Glad' that THE TRUTH “STILL” SETS MEN FREE!!!
But Fourthly, Notice “WHO” HE Made the Promise to: He says~ “THE LORD HATH SWORN IN TRUTH 'UNTO' DAVID!” Aha, Now Here We Find the 'One' Human Being that GOD "SWORE" to Bring the MESSIAH “THROUGH!” Now, This 'Promise' to David was Made Way Back in II Samuel 7, and then 'Ratified', or Confirmed, to His 'Son' Solomon in II Chronicles 7! The 'Promise' itself Was Simple: that the PROMISED “SEED” (MESSIAH) Would Come through "DAVID’S BLOOD-LINE!" Now, this is Critically 'Important' Because Many 'False' Messiah’s Have "Claimed" to be JESUS CHRIST, but They Do "NOT MEET THE BIBLICAL CRITERIA!" In Acts 2:30, speaking of David, Peter says~ “THEREFORE, BEING A PROPHET, AND 'KNOWING' THAT GOD HAD 'SWORN' WITH AN 'OATH' TO HIM, THAT OF THE 'FRUIT' OF HIS LOINS, ACCORDING TO THE 'FLESH', HE WOULD RAISE UP 'CHRIST' TO SIT UPON HIS THRONE!!!” So 'Clearly' Church, GOD PROMISED “DAVID” That 'MESSIAH' Would Come From His Physical "Lineage!"
But Fifthly, Notice the “UNCONDITIONAL” Nature of the Promise: He says! “THE LORD HATH SWORN IN TRUTH UNTO DAVID; HE WILL 'NOT' TURN FROM IT!” Wow! Did You 'Catch' that? Now, This is Called an “Unconditional” Covenant, that is, that GOD 'WOULD' FULFILL CERTAIN PROMISES “REGARDLESS” OF MAN’S COMPLIANCE!!! The 'Abrahamic' Covenant is another Example of an Unconditional Covenant! In Total, there were Actually "4" Unconditional Covenants 'Made' Between GOD and the Nation of ISRAEL: The Abrahamic, The Palestinic, The Davidic, and The New! Now, the "Mosaic Covenant" was Actually a “Conditional” Covenant, in that it 'Depended' Upon "Obedience" from the Children of ISRAEL, but it was “Disannulled” Because of 'Disobedience' in the Area of "Idolatry!" But David Says here, that "GOD WILL 'PERFORM' HIS 'OATH' UNTO DAVID!!!"
Alright Sixthly, Notice “WHAT” HE Promised David: He says~ “THE LORD HATH SWORN IN TRUTH UNTO DAVID; HE WILL NOT TURN FROM IT; OF THE 'FRUIT' OF THY BODY 'WILL' I SET!” Now, 'Clearly' Here, GOD 'Tells' the King, that One Day, a "Baby" Would Be 'Born' of His Offspring, Who Would 'Become' the "ETERNAL KING OF ISRAEL!!!" Listen, in Matthew 1:6 we read~ “And Jesse Begat 'DAVID' the King….verse 16~ “And Jacob Begat 'Joseph' the Husband of Mary, of Whom WAS 'BORN' JESUS, WHO IS CALLED CHRIST!!!” Then, in Luke 3, we 'Find' that “Both” Mary & Joseph were “OF” The 'SEED' & 'Lineage' of DAVID, which Gave "LEGAL RIGHT" to 'JESUS CHRIST' To "TAKE THE THRONE OF DAVID AS KING!!!" Now, Watch this: Romans 1:3 says~ “CONCERNING HIS SON 'JESUS CHRIST' OUR LORD, WHICH WAS MADE 'OF' THE SEED 'OF' DAVID ACCORDING TO THE FLESH!!!” Listen to me, "GOD FULFILLED HIS PROMISE 'WHEN' JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN" But HE Has "NOT YET TAKEN THE 'THRONE' OF DAVID IN JERUSALEM, BUT HE WILL SHORTLY!!!"
And Seventhly, Finally, Notice “WHAT” HE Promised: David writes~ “THE LORD HATH SWORN IN TRUTH UNTO DAVID; HE WILL NOT TURN FROM IT; OF THE FRUIT OF 'THY' BODY WILL I 'SET' UPON 'THY' THRONE!” Oh Glory to GOD! Here, GOD 'Makes' it Absolutely Crystal Clear, Just 'What' HIS Plan Was: to 'Take' of the Physical "SEED OF DAVID" (Incarnation), and "RAISE UP AN ETERNAL KING" (Resurrection)!!! Now, in Closing today, Let’s Just Go Ahead and 'Identify' this Coming "KING!" Zechariah 14:16 says~ “And it Shall Come to Pass, that Every one that is 'Left' of All the Nations which Came 'Against' Jerusalem, Shall even Go Up from Year to Year to 'WORSHIP THE KING', THE 'LORD' OF HOSTS!!!” Praise the LORD Beloved Believers, SOON & VERY SOON, WE’RE GOIN’ TO 'SEE' THE "KING", THE SON OF DAVID!!! Revelation 22:16 says~ “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!!!” So Beloved One, My 'Word' to You today: 'Realize', that "OUR GOD ALWAYS KEEPS HIS PROMISES", and that WE Can 'Depend' Upon THE "SON OF DAVID WHOM HE RAISED UP, FOR EVERY SINGLE NEED IN OUR LIVES!!!" Blessings to All, and Shalom...
