The History of Redemption in Scripture (Page 4)
Solomon’s Reign
1 Kings 4:1, 20-21, 29-34 In Solomon’s day, after the Temple was finished, the kingdom of Israel was raised to its greatest glory, and the Lord provided a picture of the future glorious reign of the Lord Jesus Christ in the reign of Solomon.
The Temple
2 Chronicles 3:1; 5:1 We come to another step forward in God’s work of redemption: the building of that more permanent place of worship, the Temple. God had already given the tabernacle to His people, but it was only meant to be temporary, while they were in the wilderness.
God’s Faithfulness
Psalm 89:20-37 This morning, we consider more generally how the Lord fulfilled His promise to David that he would never lack a man to sit on his throne. This was true for as long as Judah continued as an independent nation.
The New for the Old
1 Chronicles 28 The Lord used Moses to begin changes with regard to the ceremonial worship, then He used David – the greater type of Christ – to further modify the provisions concerning temple service.
The Promised Land
2 Samuel 8 This morning, we see the Lord use David to conquer the remaining land He promised to give Abraham and His people. This was a picture of what Jesus would do in subduing all His enemies and ruling as King over all God’s creation.
The Davidic Covenant
2 Samuel 7 We consider another way in which the Lord advanced His work of salvation in David’s days: by His giving to David the fifth revelation of the Covenant of Grace. David sets his heart on building a house for God, but God tells David that it is His intentio
The Holy City
2 Samuel 5:1-10 Adding to the light that He gave with the coming of King David, the Lord provides a wonderful picture of His Church in the city of Jerusalem. We see David conquer that city, where the Lord was pleased to place His name.
The Sweet Psalmist of Israel
2 Samuel 23:1-8 We consider another great leap forward in God’s revelation to His Church: the Psalms David wrote. The Psalms not only contain many prophecies about Christ, but the Lord also appointed them to be used in worship…
God’s Word Revealed
1 Chronicles 29:29-30 This morning we consider why the Lord gave further revelation at the time of David by adding several new books to Scripture. We look at how each of them points to Christ’s coming and His work of redemption.
Divine Preservation
Psalm 18 This morning we look at several instances of the Lord’s deliverance of David when his life was in danger. The Lord preserved him for two reasons: *The Redeemer was going to come through David *He protects His people
A Man after God’s Own Heart
1 Samuel 13:14 We move on to consider another phase in the History of Redemption: the time from the anointing of David as king, to the Babylonian Captivity. The Lord takes another step forward in the work of redemption as the time of Christ continues to draw near.
The Sons of the Prophets
Acts 3:18-26 We consider „The Sons of The Prophets„, the school that the Lord established in the Old Covenant to reveal His coming and advance His work, increasing His light in order to prepare Israel for the coming of Messiah.
