1Ki 1:28-30 “Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead”<\/h3>\n

[Study Aired June 17, 2021]<\/h5>\n

1Ki 1:28<\/b>\u00a0 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.<\/b>
\n1Ki 1:29<\/b>\u00a0 And the king sware, and said,\u00a0<\/b>As<\/i><\/b>\u00a0the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,<\/b>
\n1Ki 1:30<\/b>\u00a0 Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.<\/b><\/p>\n

The title of this study in Kings reminds us that Christ, who brings us to our wits’ end in order that we cry out to our Lord who is our safe haven, is our blessed assurance in this life, typified by these words announced by King David who represents Christ our hope of glory within: “Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me.”<\/b><\/p>\n

These words were finally uttered after Nathan and Bathsheba were called by King David. It takes a sober heart and vigilance to overcome the adversary, and all these qualities were being symbolically demonstrated for us in this story via Nathan and Bathsheba who had recognized the enemy in their midst, our flesh, symbolized by Adonijah, and humbled themselves before the king who would then exalt them in due time (1Pe 5:6-9).<\/p>\n

1Pe 5:6\u00a0\u00a0Humble yourselves\u00a0therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
\n1Pe 5:7\u00a0\u00a0Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
\n1Pe 5:8\u00a0 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
\n1Pe 5:9\u00a0\u00a0Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Waiting on the Lord is hard, but it is through that patient continuance in well doing as we possess our souls patiently and cry out to God that we will be heard and delivered if we fear Him and not men and the physical situations that He brings our way for our sakes (Psa 107:20-30, Psa 27:13-14, Rom 2:4-11, Luk 21:19-23, Heb 5:7, Luk 12:5, 2Co 4:15).<\/p>\n

Psa 107:20\u00a0\u00a0He sent his word, and healed them [Joh 20:21], and delivered them<\/i>\u00a0from their destructions.
\nPsa 107:21\u00a0 Oh that\u00a0men<\/i>\u00a0would praise the LORD\u00a0for\u00a0his goodness, and\u00a0for\u00a0his wonderful works to the children of men!
\nPsa 107:22\u00a0 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
\nPsa 107:23\u00a0 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
\nPsa 107:24\u00a0\u00a0These<\/b>\u00a0see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
\nPsa 107:25\u00a0 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
\nPsa 107:26\u00a0 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted\u00a0because of trouble [Job 5:7].
\nPsa 107:27\u00a0 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
\nPsa 107:28\u00a0\u00a0Then<\/b>\u00a0[not before<\/i>] they cry unto the LORD\u00a0in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
\nPsa 107:29\u00a0 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
\nPsa 107:30\u00a0\u00a0Then<\/b>\u00a0are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven [Christ and his Christ<\/i> (Joh 20:21)].<\/p>\n

Psa 27:13\u00a0\u00a0I had fainted,<\/i>\u00a0unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living [Christ and his Christ<\/i>].
\nPsa 27:14\u00a0\u00a0Wait<\/b>\u00a0on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:\u00a0wait<\/b>, I say, on the LORD.<\/p>\n

Rom 2:4\u00a0 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; [Psa 107:20-30] not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
\nRom 2:5\u00a0 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of\u00a0the righteous judgment of God; [righteous judgment<\/i> (1Pe 4:17,\u00a01Pe 4:12)]
\nRom 2:6\u00a0 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
\nRom 2:7\u00a0\u00a0To them who by\u00a0patient continuance in well doing<\/b>\u00a0[“wait I say on the Lord<\/i>“] seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
\nRom 2:8\u00a0 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
\nRom 2:9\u00a0 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil,\u00a0of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; [the negative fleshly “<\/i>in Judaea<\/b>” Jew and the negative fleshly yet carnal Gentile<\/i> (Joh 3:36,\u00a01Co 3:17)]
\nRom 2:10\u00a0 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man\u00a0that worketh good\u00a0<\/b>[Php 2:12-13],\u00a0to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile [the positive spiritual Jew and positive spiritual Gentile<\/i>]:
\nRom 2:11\u00a0 For there is no respect of persons with God.<\/p>\n

[there is\u00a0<\/i>no Jew nor Greek<\/i>\u00a0(Gal 3:28), but God sees all flesh as gentile and sees the new creation being formed within us, Christ, in whom we are accepted<\/i> (Eph 1:6), as the spiritual inward Jew who is our hope of glory within\u00a0(Rom 2:29,\u00a0Col 1:27)].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Luk 21:19\u00a0\u00a0In your patience possess ye your souls.
\nLuk 21:20\u00a0\u00a0And when\u00a0ye shall see\u00a0Jerusalem\u00a0[Jerusalem above<\/i>\u00a0where we are raised<\/i> (Gal 4:26,\u00a0Eph 2:6)]\u00a0compassed with armies\u00a0[Psa 107:20-30], then know that the desolation thereof is nigh [Mat 24:15,\u00a02Th 2:8-10].
\nLuk 21:21\u00a0\u00a0Then let them which are\u00a0in Judaea<\/b>\u00a0flee to the mountains\u00a0[Psa 121:1-2]; and let them which are in the midst of it\u00a0depart out<\/b>; and\u00a0let not<\/b>\u00a0them that are in the countries enter thereinto.\u00a0[God’s elect are being told come out of her my people (Jerusalem below) touch not the unclean thing and I will accept you<\/i> (2Co 6:17)]
\nLuk 21:22\u00a0\u00a0For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
\nLuk 21:23\u00a0\u00a0But woe<\/b>\u00a0unto them that are with\u00a0child<\/b>\u00a0 [the immature, the rejected anointed, unless God permits<\/i> (Heb 6:1-3) us to go onto maturity<\/i>], and to them that give suck\u00a0[babes in Christ who are not getting off the milk<\/i>\u00a0(Rom 2:4,\u00a01Co 3:2-5], in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. [How will we run with horses\u00a0<\/i>(Jer 12:5)\u00a0represented by “great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people”\u00a0if we are yet babes?<\/i>]<\/p>\n

Heb 5:7\u00a0 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications\u00a0with strong crying and tears\u00a0unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard\u00a0in that he feared;<\/p>\n

Luk 12:5\u00a0\u00a0But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear:\u00a0Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you,\u00a0Fear him.<\/p>\n

Rom 2:4\u00a0 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering\u00a0[Psa 107:20-30];\u00a0not knowing\u00a0[1Pe 4:12] that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?<\/p>\n

1Co 3:2\u00a0 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able\u00a0to bear it,<\/i>\u00a0neither yet now are ye able. [Heb 6:1-3]
\n1Co 3:3\u00a0 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas\u00a0there is<\/i>\u00a0among you\u00a0envying, and strife, and divisions<\/b>, are ye not carnal, and\u00a0walk as men?
\n1Co 3:4\u00a0 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I\u00a0am<\/i>\u00a0of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
\n1Co 3:5\u00a0 Who then is Paul, and who\u00a0is<\/i>\u00a0Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?<\/p>\n

[Running and being wearied with footmen is what happens when we “walk as men”. Running with horses, representing the greater fiery trials of life through which we endure, is the blessing God gives to those who are called to endure until the end of this life as we overcome by the patience and faith of the saints, which is a gift of God<\/i> (Jer 12:5,\u00a0Rev 14:12,\u00a01Jn 5:4,\u00a0Eph 2:8).]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ultimately God’s word will be shown to be the sword which it is that divides (Luk 12:51), and if we are granted to be given the power to stand on that word (Mat 7:24,\u00a0Psa 127:1) and do all things decently and in order (1Co 14:40), as Bathsheba and Nathan did, not shunning to declare the whole counsel of God (Act 20:27) by going to King David, who typifies Christ, then it will be certain in these perilous times of our lives that God will do the greatest work of molding and changing us into the image of His son, if only He would grant us the faith to help us in our unbelief (Mar 9:24,\u00a0Luk 22:32,\u00a01Jn 5:4) so that we can endure the temptations of this life and hold fast to our crown (Jas 1:12,\u00a0Rev 3:11-13). Going to the king (Christ<\/i> – Heb 4:16) is in fact how we don’t let any man take our crown, and that is the direct correlation being shown to us in this story where Nathan, a prophet of patience, and Bathsheba, a type of the church, both humbled themselves before the king in order to secure the lineage of King David, which event typifies for us how the gates of hell will not prevail against the church (Mat 16:17-19).<\/p>\n

Luk 12:51\u00a0\u00a0Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay;\u00a0but rather division:<\/p>\n

Mat 7:24\u00a0\u00a0Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man,\u00a0which built his house upon a rock:<\/p>\n

Psa 127:1\u00a0\u00a0A Song of degrees for Solomon.<\/b>\u00a0Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh\u00a0but<\/i>\u00a0in vain.<\/p>\n

Mar 9:24\u00a0 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe;\u00a0help thou mine unbelief.(Psa 46:1)<\/p>\n

Jas 1:12\u00a0 Blessed\u00a0is\u00a0the man that\u00a0endureth\u00a0temptation<\/b>: for when he is tried,\u00a0he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him [1Co 10:13]<\/p>\n

1Co 10:13\u00a0\u00a0There hath no\u00a0temptation<\/b>\u00a0taken you but such as is common to man: but God\u00a0is<\/i>\u00a0faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear\u00a0it<\/i>[Psa 107:30].<\/p>\n

Rev 3:11\u00a0\u00a0Behold, I come quickly:\u00a0hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
\nRev 3:12\u00a0\u00a0Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and\u00a0I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God,\u00a0which is<\/i>\u00a0new Jerusalem,\u00a0which cometh down out of heaven<\/b>\u00a0from my God: and\u00a0I will write upon him<\/i>\u00a0my new name.
\nRev 3:13\u00a0\u00a0He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.<\/p>\n

Mat 16:17\u00a0 And Jesus answered and said unto him,\u00a0Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed\u00a0it<\/i>\u00a0unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.\u00a0[“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches<\/i>”\u00a0(Rev 1:3,\u00a0Mat 13:16]
\nMat 16:18\u00a0\u00a0And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
\nMat 16:19\u00a0\u00a0And\u00a0I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth\u00a0shall be loosed in heaven<\/b>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Assuredly\u00a0the Lord is going to give the increase for the bride of Christ who will be made ready (Rev 19:7) through the fiery trials (1Pe 4:12) we have been promised which will mature us and give spiritual increase as we’re nourished and strengthened through those trials that will “stablish, strengthen and settle” us (1Pe 5:10) so that we can endure unto the end and be saved (1Co 3:8,\u00a0Mat 24:13).<\/p>\n

Rev 19:7\u00a0 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.<\/p>\n

1Pe 4:12\u00a0 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:<\/p>\n

1Pe 5:10\u00a0 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle\u00a0you<\/i>.<\/p>\n

1Co 3:8\u00a0 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.<\/p>\n

Mat 24:13\u00a0\u00a0But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1Ki 1:28<\/b>\u00a0 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.<\/b><\/p>\n

This opening statement of King David (1Ki 1:28) tells the elect something about our standing in Christ. When “king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba<\/b>” (Rev 11:12) we are reminded that many are called, but few are chosen (Mat 22:14) in this life to stand “before the king<\/b>” (Luk 18:8,\u00a0Rev 6:17,\u00a0Mat 24:37,\u00a0Luk 17:28-29).<\/p>\n

Rev 11:11\u00a0 And after\u00a0three days and an half\u00a0the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and\u00a0they\u00a0stood<\/b>\u00a0upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.<\/p>\n

Mat 22:14\u00a0\u00a0For many are called, but few\u00a0are<\/i>\u00a0chosen.<\/p>\n

Rev 6:17\u00a0 For the great day of his wrath is come; and\u00a0who shall be able\u00a0to stand<\/b>\u00a0[Eph 6:3]?<\/p>\n

Eph 6:13\u00a0 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all,\u00a0to stand<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Mat 24:37\u00a0\u00a0But as the days of Noe\u00a0were,<\/i>\u00a0so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.<\/p>\n

Luk 17:28\u00a0\u00a0Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
\nLuk 17:29\u00a0\u00a0But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom\u00a0[2Co 6:17,\u00a0Rev 18:4]\u00a0it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed\u00a0them<\/i>\u00a0all.<\/p>\n

2Co 6:17\u00a0 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean\u00a0thing;<\/i>\u00a0and I will receive you,<\/p>\n

Rev 18:4\u00a0 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not\u00a0of her plagues. [We come out from among them by going through the seven last plagues now<\/i> (Rev 15:8)]<\/p>\n

Php 3:13\u00a0 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but\u00a0this<\/i>\u00a0one thing\u00a0I do<\/i>,\u00a0forgetting those things which are behind\u00a0[2Pe 2:7,\u00a0Jas 1:2-3], and\u00a0reaching forth\u00a0unto those things which are before,
\nPhp 3:14\u00a0\u00a0I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n

1Co 1:28\u00a0 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen,\u00a0yea,<\/i>\u00a0and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
\n1Co 1:29\u00a0\u00a0That no flesh should glory in his presence.<\/p>\n

Mat 10:39\u00a0\u00a0He that findeth his life shall lose it: and\u00a0he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.<\/p>\n

Luk 18:8\u00a0\u00a0I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh,\u00a0shall he find faith on the earth?<\/p>\n

[All the faith that will be needed to cast the pride-filled mountain of man’s heart into the sea to destroy it is that\u00a0very small mustard seed<\/u>\u00a0to which Christ likened the kingdom of God which is within God’s little remnant today<\/i> Mat 17:20,\u00a0Mar 11:23, Mat 13:32]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mat 17:20\u00a0 And Jesus said unto them,\u00a0Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed,\u00a0ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.<\/p>\n

Mar 11:23\u00a0\u00a0For verily I say unto you, That\u00a0whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.<\/p>\n

Mat 13:32\u00a0\u00a0Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

God must bring us to acknowledge our sins by giving us an introspective heart that examines ourselves daily and sees the need to die daily (1Co 11:31,\u00a01Co 15:31), which was all being typified for us by Nathan and Bathsheba. When God writes His law in our hearts (Eze 36:26) we will have a “contrite spirit” that “trembleth at my word”, again represented by Bathsheba and Nathan who “came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king<\/b>” without glorying in their flesh (Isa 66:2,\u00a01Co 1:28-29,\u00a0Heb 4:16).<\/p>\n

1Co 1:28\u00a0 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen,\u00a0yea,<\/i>\u00a0and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
\n1Co 1:29\u00a0 That no flesh should glory in his presence.<\/p>\n

Heb 4:16\u00a0 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1Ki 1:29<\/b>\u00a0 And the king sware, and said,\u00a0<\/b>As<\/i><\/b>\u00a0the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,<\/b>
\n1Ki 1:30<\/b>\u00a0 Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.<\/b><\/p>\n

David’s statement “And the king sware, and said,\u00a0<\/b>As<\/i><\/b>\u00a0the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress<\/b>” is being said this way in the new covenant: “Blessed\u00a0be<\/i>\u00a0God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation [“redeemed my soul out of\u00a0all distress<\/u><\/b>“], that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by^{G1223<\/sup>\u00a0Christ.” (2Co 1:3-5).<\/p>\n}

G1223<\/b>\u00a0dia
\ndee-ah’<\/i>
\nA primary preposition denoting the\u00a0channel<\/i>\u00a0of an act;\u00a0through<\/i>\u00a0(in very wide applications, local, causal or occasional). In composition it retains the same general import: – after, always, among, at, to avoid, because of (that), briefly, by, for (cause) . . . fore, from, in, by occasion of, of, by reason of, for sake, that, thereby, therefore, X though, through (-out), to, wherefore, with (-in). In composition it retains the same general import.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The king sware<\/b>” to remind us that God’s elect would be comforted through our suffering and that He would never try us beyond what we can endure. That’s part of the exceedingly great and precious promises that have been given to us and were being typified by the old covenant vows that came forth from the mouth of the king (1Co 10:13,\u00a02Pe 1:4).<\/p>\n

1Co 10:13\u00a0 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God\u00a0is<\/i>\u00a0faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear\u00a0it<\/i>.<\/p>\n

2Pe 1:4\u00a0 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Even as I sware<\/b>” is another old covenant vow coming from king David that represents the new-covenant promise Christ uttered to our Father to give us hope and certainty in what God has promised will happen to God’s elect, typified by this moment in history: “unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day<\/b>“. God’s elect will certainly reign on thrones with him, and even now, in earnest, we “sit together in heavenly\u00a0places<\/i>\u00a0in Christ Jesus” (Mat 19:28,\u00a0Eph 2:6,\u00a0Rev 4:2,\u00a0Rev 21:5).<\/p>\n

Mat 19:28\u00a0 And Jesus said unto them,\u00a0Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration\u00a0when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory,\u00a0ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
\nMat 19:29\u00a0\u00a0And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
\nMat 19:30\u00a0\u00a0But many\u00a0that are<\/i>\u00a0first shall be last; and the last\u00a0shall be<\/i>\u00a0first.<\/p>\n

Eph 2:6\u00a0 And hath raised\u00a0us<\/i>\u00a0up together, and made\u00a0us\u00a0sit together in heavenly\u00a0places<\/i>\u00a0in Christ Jesus:<\/p>\n

Rev 4:2\u00a0 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold,\u00a0a throne was set in heaven, and\u00a0one<\/i>\u00a0sat on the throne.<\/p>\n

Rev 21:5\u00a0\u00a0And he that sat upon the throne said,\u00a0Behold, I make all things new.\u00a0And he said unto me,\u00a0Write: for these words are true and faithful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Even so will I certainly do\u00a0this day<\/u><\/b>” tells us that when the day of the Lord begins in the lives of those whom God has ordained from the foundation of the world to bring forth fruit begins (Joh 15:16), it begins with a declaration that comes from the mouth of Christ who tells us none that the Father has given me will be lost, and so David says “unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying…<\/b>” giving all glory to God for the rulership that would be given to Solomon even as Christ gave all glory unto the Father for His workmanship that we are (Joh 6:39,\u00a01Co 1:30-31,\u00a0Joh 15:5,\u00a0Joh 5:30).<\/p>\n

Joh 15:16\u00a0\u00a0Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and\u00a0that<\/i>\u00a0your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.<\/p>\n

Joh 6:39\u00a0\u00a0And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that\u00a0of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.<\/p>\n

Joh 15:5\u00a0\u00a0I am the vine, ye\u00a0are<\/i>\u00a0the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit:\u00a0for without me ye can do nothing.<\/p>\n

Joh 5:30\u00a0\u00a0I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.<\/p>\n

1Co 1:30\u00a0 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
\n1Co 1:31\u00a0 That, according as it is written,\u00a0He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Christ said “let there be light” (Gen 1:3), light came out of darkness, and when we read “even so will I certainly do\u00a0this day<\/u><\/b>“, we are being reminded that God’s determination to cause the elect to obtain “an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” (Eph 1:11) is as certain as the rising of the sun (Mal 4:2,\u00a0Joh 8:36), and it is to the praise of His glory who has given us the power through Christ to be the first who “trusted in Christ” as we’re given power to mortify the deeds of the flesh (Eph 1:12).<\/p>\n

Eph 1:11\u00a0 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
\nEph 1:12\u00a0 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We’ve only looked at three verses tonight, but they are critical to setting the stage for the rest of this chapter and beyond, as a declaration of overcoming being made with these words: “Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead<\/b>“, which demonstrates for God’s elect that He is faithful and that we are more than conquerors through^{G1223<\/sup>\u00a0him that loved us (Rom 8:37).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"}
