God of Promise: What A Creepy Old West Town Taught Me About the Bible
Description
In David, we find a “type.” God sets him up as king and a good kingdom on earth to show us what he wants to do in Heaven. Under the first half of David’s rule, people find peace, prosperity, and justice. But we also see David sin dramatically and the peace is broken. We are left longing for a true and better king!
When we understand this promise of “kingdom” to David it allows us to better understand our longing for perfect leadership. But we realize we can’t ever find this fulfilled in human form. Earthly leaders will always let us down, but God is the ultimate ruler in our lives.
Revelation 21:4 gives us a peek at what the coming kingdom will look like! Jesus will establish the ultimate kingdom. We can have hope knowing that the way the world looks here and now isn’t the way it “should be” and will “always be.” Our God is a just king who will bring rest from enemies, make an end to death, crying, and pain!
