David: When has ever the kings of the land been like dominated by Yahweh? Okay. So we're remembering back. There was the period at his high point, 2 Samuel 10 through 10, when David establishes Jerusalem as the capital and he begins all these hostile nations. And then the prophets took that memory of the David of the past and projected that hope forward into the day when Yahweh would elevate the new David over all of the nations.
David’s life gives us two parallel portrayals of what it means to be God’s anointed one: one is victorious—God’s anointed is the giant feller and the snake crusher. The other one is a suffering servant, waiting patiently in the wilderness for God’s deliverance. In today’s episode, join Tim and Jon in the Psalms, where they’ll explore both David’s victory and his suffering and discuss how Jesus saw himself living out both those roles too.
