Prepare to challenge your understanding of the legendary battle between David and Goliath, moving beyond the surface story of an underdog triumphing over a giant. Discover how this confrontation was deeply rooted in the ancient conflict between the Amorites and Israel, setting the stage for David's transformative leadership that reshaped the spiritual and cultural landscape of Israel.

Embark on a journey from Babylon to Canaan alongside Abraham, delving into the nuanced relationships and spiritual mentors who crafted his legacy. Uncover the lesser-known tales of his tutelage under Melchizedek, a manifestation of the Christ who set the foundation for the faith covenant with God.  This narrative sheds light on the intricate divine orchestration that saw Samuel anoint David as king, drawing powerful parallels with the story of John the Baptist and Jesus, and highlighting the significance of spiritual obedience over mere adherence to tradition.

Finally, witness the enduring legacy of David, from shepherd to sovereign, whose life was marked by unparalleled divine intervention and influence.

00:00:00.940 --> 00:00:05.108
Well, praise the Lord, hallelujah, Glory to God.

00:00:05.108 --> 00:00:14.587
Let's turn to 1 Samuel, probably going to be referring to, about the third chapter.

00:00:14.587 --> 00:00:16.893
Praise God.

00:00:16.893 --> 00:00:22.352
Last time we were together we talked about the epic battle.

00:00:22.352 --> 00:00:53.859
The epic battle between David and Goliath was, on paper, a battle between the armies of Israel and the armies of the Philistines, but we know because of the genealogy of Goliath that he was part of the Amorite descendancy.

00:00:53.859 --> 00:01:14.873
He came out of the Amorites, that Joshua fought and prayed to the Lord that would stop, or commanded the sun to stop and the moon to stop, and that battle with the Amorites was supposed to eliminate the Amorites, but it did not.

00:01:14.873 --> 00:01:21.308
It eliminated the leadership and eliminated a whole bunch of them, but obviously some of them slipped through the cracks.

00:01:21.308 --> 00:01:51.990
This has been a problem for israel throughout their entire history, because the, the, the, the very battleground that they're fighting in today, is the place where the amorite residuals went to live, and then they mingled with a race of people that came out of Greece and they formed a nation state called the Philistines.

00:01:51.990 --> 00:02:07.152
The Philistines are really just a hybrid of the Amorite giant race and these Greeks that came over and settled just a hop, skip and a jump across the Mediterranean, in that part of the world.

00:02:07.152 --> 00:02:16.001
Amen, joshua had to deal with them, david had to deal with them and still left some of them there, amen.

00:02:16.001 --> 00:02:29.450
And the very fact that the names of their cities are still the names of the principal cities in the Gaza Strip is a testimony to the fact that they never were really dealt with.

00:02:33.961 --> 00:02:42.812
Now, when God tells you to eradicate something, it needs to be eradicated because he knows the consequences of not doing it.

00:02:42.812 --> 00:02:50.992
We may not know that, we may not know that, we may not think it's a big problem, but praise God, hallelujah.

00:02:50.992 --> 00:03:09.742
So David kills Goliath, gets the king's daughter, gets the choice position of being the number two guy, right at an equal level with Jonathan, amen and he's.

00:03:09.742 --> 00:03:15.991
You know, all of this has transpired and it seems like that's the end of the story.

00:03:15.991 --> 00:03:21.889
But that's not really the end of the story, because we don't understand where the beginning of the story happened.

00:03:21.889 --> 00:03:33.085
The beginning of the story is this long, continuing battle between Antichrist and the Christ, the seed anti-seed and the seed.

00:03:33.085 --> 00:03:35.211
That goes back to the garden.

00:03:35.211 --> 00:03:43.305
It probably goes back further than that, but we don't have a real well-documented evidence of that, so we'll stick to what we know.

00:03:43.305 --> 00:04:07.752
Praise God, hallelujah, but at any rate, just when Israel thought it was all over and just when it appeared that David would be the sacrificial lamb for Israel and just go out in a blaze of glory.

00:04:07.752 --> 00:04:08.943
But nothing would happen.

00:04:08.943 --> 00:04:15.042
And we talk about some of the things that would happen, you know, if David dies.

00:04:16.423 --> 00:04:29.317
If David dies, you know, david is the most documented person in the Bible other than Jesus.

00:04:29.317 --> 00:04:35.473
There's more written about David than any other person in the Bible except for Jesus.

00:04:35.473 --> 00:04:40.009
He is the beginning.

00:04:40.009 --> 00:04:50.630
He's the beginning of so much that changed about Israeli history and the way that Israel conducted itself.

00:04:52.322 --> 00:05:01.569
Up until the time of David, the structure of worship and everything else was based on what was given Moses in the wilderness.

00:05:01.569 --> 00:05:03.367
And he brought the tabernacle, he brought the ark.

00:05:03.367 --> 00:05:04.613
He brought all the wilderness and he brought the tabernacle.

00:05:04.613 --> 00:05:06.300
He brought the ark, he brought all the instruments.

00:05:06.300 --> 00:05:18.874
The way that the priests conducted things, the way that people approached the tabernacle of meeting all of that was according to the way it was given to Moses.

00:05:18.874 --> 00:05:29.130
But when David came, there was a whole new structure, a whole new temple, a whole new order of how the priests were to administer.

00:05:29.130 --> 00:05:35.790
Everything changed that we had worship, we had singing, we had instruments.

00:05:35.790 --> 00:05:37.865
We never had that in Moses' day.

00:05:37.865 --> 00:05:39.088
That never happened.

00:05:40.011 --> 00:05:42.408
Amen and all that came with David.

00:05:42.408 --> 00:05:44.244
Amen and all that came with David.

00:05:44.244 --> 00:06:08.172
Amen, the basic, the basics of the law, were preserved, but the way that the law was made available to the people changed Amen, because the the temple was different than nobody would know that, because they didn't get to go in, but, but for those that were able to go into the temple, there was a big change.

00:06:08.172 --> 00:06:10.146
There was a big change in the temple.

00:06:10.146 --> 00:06:12.648
There was a big change in the arena around it.

00:06:12.648 --> 00:06:26.750
You can just see, look at the difference of how the temple looks in Jesus' day, right there on the bottom left, as opposed to this view over here, which is the temple of Moses.

00:06:26.750 --> 00:06:30.689
I mean, they are slightly the same, but not very much.

00:06:30.689 --> 00:06:34.687
Amen, praise God.

00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:56.689
Now, all of that just means this that there are three key figures in the Old Testament there's Abraham, there's Moses and there's David, but only two of those are mentioned in Matthew 1.1.

00:06:56.689 --> 00:06:58.913
Amen.

00:06:58.913 --> 00:07:39.148
In my opinion, matthew 1.1 has more revelation in it than just about any one verse in the Bible, because it says this the genealogy of Jesus, the Christ, the son of Abraham, the son of David, did not say the son of Moses, because he wasn't a son of Moses, he didn't come out of Moses, he came out of Judah, he came out of Abraham and because of that we have to understand the linkage between Abraham and David.

00:07:39.148 --> 00:07:40.771
Amen.

00:07:40.771 --> 00:07:43.007
And that linkage is Samuel.

00:07:43.007 --> 00:07:59.560
Glory to God, and that's what we're going to talk about, because that is really, really what we need to get out of this battle between David and Goliath.

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.471
We don't need another example of how the underdog always wins.

00:08:03.471 --> 00:08:04.892
We don't need another example of how the underdog always wins.

00:08:04.892 --> 00:08:07.264
We don't need another example of how the bully always gets his.

00:08:07.264 --> 00:08:08.487
You know, we don't.

00:08:08.487 --> 00:08:11.141
We don't need, we don't need any more of that stuff.

00:08:11.141 --> 00:08:12.343
I mean, we, you know that's.

00:08:12.343 --> 00:08:19.000
Anybody can preach you that, okay, but that doesn't explain Matthew one one.

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:22.646
None of that explains Matthew one one.

00:08:22.646 --> 00:08:37.851
But there obviously is a link that Matthew 1.1 begs to be connected between Abraham and David, and that link is Samuel.

00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:40.624
All of this was done.

00:08:40.624 --> 00:08:50.087
All of what David did in his battle with Goliath was done in the shadow of Samuel.

00:08:50.087 --> 00:09:00.381
Samuel was the one who ignited David's destiny when he was but a shepherd boy.

00:09:00.381 --> 00:09:09.952
If it hadn't been for Samuel, david would have been in the field tending sheep.

00:09:09.952 --> 00:09:18.572
His father would have found another way, but because his father witnessed what had happened, amen.

00:09:18.572 --> 00:09:25.426
He was in a position to respond to a higher call, but Samuel had to ignite that.

00:09:25.426 --> 00:09:32.785
So there has to be a catalyst Wife and I were talking about that just the other day.

00:09:32.785 --> 00:09:35.692
There has to be a catalyst for callings.

00:09:35.692 --> 00:09:43.981
If there's not a catalyst for a calling, a lot of times people will just blunder through life and miss it entirely.

00:09:43.981 --> 00:09:49.494
There has to be someone who comes and literally ignites the fire.

00:09:49.494 --> 00:09:53.370
As Paul said, it stir up the giftings.

00:09:53.370 --> 00:10:02.889
Somebody has to get in there and literally stir the pot, or else the pot will just never catch fire and burn.

00:10:02.889 --> 00:10:06.235
Hallelujah.

00:10:06.235 --> 00:10:26.172
Samuel was the shadow over David for the entirety of his young life and the time that he went through the transition of becoming king, and all of that because Samuel was the one who laid hands on him and anointed him.

00:10:26.172 --> 00:10:30.048
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:38.870
Now here's a point that we need to focus on as decisive spiritual battles approach.

00:10:38.870 --> 00:10:42.120
I believe we're in such a time.

00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.873
I believe we're in such a time.

00:10:44.873 --> 00:11:00.393
The ministry of the sons of God must be ready, or they will be replaced and the old order will be altered or abolished.

00:11:00.393 --> 00:11:06.389
See, here's what you need to know about God.

00:11:06.389 --> 00:11:07.764
God doesn't lose.

00:11:07.764 --> 00:11:10.586
God never loses.

00:11:10.586 --> 00:11:36.073
And so if a battle is approaching and the army in the field or the leadership in the field or the sons of God at their current revelation level are not ready for the battle, god will find him, a people and move them into place to take their place in the battle.

00:11:36.073 --> 00:11:45.615
And if he has to alter the order of things as it was before in order to make that people ready, he will do it.

00:11:49.201 --> 00:12:13.238
Now you would say to me that God gave his word to Moses, he gave his commandments to Moses, he gave a structure to Moses, he gave an order to Moses, and because it was God's word, it couldn't be broken.

00:12:13.238 --> 00:12:33.568
And I would tell you that God broke it Because the man of God that was ahead of the old order that came out of moses was not capable of doing what god needed to have done, and so god broke his own commandment.

00:12:33.568 --> 00:12:37.414
I'm going to say it this way god broke the law.

00:12:37.414 --> 00:12:42.183
You go, I I.

00:12:42.183 --> 00:12:44.409
I don't think I understand that.

00:12:44.409 --> 00:12:46.114
You go.

00:12:46.114 --> 00:12:47.336
I don't think I understand that.

00:12:47.336 --> 00:12:51.446
You need to understand that, because that is the link between Abraham and David.

00:12:51.446 --> 00:12:57.115
Hallelujah, glory to God.

00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:09.072
Now, abraham was drawn out of Babylon and brought into the land of the Amorites.

00:13:09.072 --> 00:13:19.894
God brought Abraham out and brought him in and settled him among this giant race.

00:13:19.894 --> 00:13:23.005
Amen, he had to go to war with them.

00:13:23.005 --> 00:13:28.600
He had to train an army, amen.

00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:29.361
Amen, he had to go to war with them.

00:13:29.361 --> 00:13:30.082
He had to train an army, amen.

00:13:30.082 --> 00:13:32.346
Abraham is a lot more than what we see of him in the book of genesis.

00:13:32.346 --> 00:13:39.221
There was a lot more to abraham when he lived in babylon.

00:13:40.083 --> 00:13:51.227
The book of yashar, or jashar, that is referred to in Joshua about the stopping of the sun and the moon, says this is not recorded in the book of Jasher.

00:13:51.227 --> 00:14:02.320
That book tells us that Abraham lived with Noah for a period of time because Nimrod was out to kill Abraham.

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:05.330
He knew Abraham was the bearer of the seed.

00:14:05.330 --> 00:14:21.753
Noah went off, or Abraham went off and lived with Noah for a season and then God called him out after he had been trained by Noah, and he called him out and sent him as a military man into Canaan.

00:14:21.753 --> 00:14:34.307
But the real reason he went to Canaan was to sit under the priest of God who was the king of Jerusalem.

00:14:34.307 --> 00:14:43.465
His name was Melchizedek, and so for this period of time of what, maybe 25 to 50 years.

00:14:47.304 --> 00:14:54.246
God dealt with Abraham through this man, melchizedek, who Paul says is the Christ.

00:14:54.246 --> 00:14:55.892
Amen.

00:14:55.892 --> 00:15:01.946
You can cut it any way you want to, you can disagree with that or whatever, but Paul says it.

00:15:01.946 --> 00:15:14.109
He said that this man was the precise pinpoint image, the exact replica of the Christ.

00:15:14.109 --> 00:15:15.351
Praise God.

00:15:15.351 --> 00:15:16.923
So Abraham.

00:15:17.203 --> 00:15:23.312
And the Bible tells you in another place that God taught Abraham or preached the gospel to Abraham.

00:15:23.312 --> 00:15:31.268
Abraham had to have this gospel preached to him so that he could walk in the faith of God.

00:15:31.268 --> 00:15:43.249
He had to know that the faith that came by hearing was going to produce something that was going to last for not only centuries but millennia.

00:15:43.249 --> 00:15:52.227
We operate, you and I, as we work in our faith and we believe God and we trust in God.

00:15:52.227 --> 00:16:02.923
It is the very faith that God gave to Abraham that is operating into us, because the covenant that God made with Abraham is the covenant that we live under.

00:16:02.923 --> 00:16:22.254
Jesus just happened to come and ratify it and take that covenant into more dimensions than you can ever count, but all he did was that he brought forward the covenant that was in Abraham and made it the covenant that he extended to us.

00:16:22.254 --> 00:16:29.001
Are you hearing me Praise God Now.

00:16:29.123 --> 00:16:39.708
Melchizedek ministered to Abraham and out of Abraham, god took a people called Israel.

00:16:39.708 --> 00:16:45.374
Amen, we all know I don't have to go back over these stories, do I?

00:16:45.374 --> 00:16:50.527
He took a people out that belonged to isaac.

00:16:50.527 --> 00:16:55.315
That was called israel, the, the children of promise.

00:16:55.315 --> 00:17:23.086
However, the, the, the gospel that came by faith, did not get transmitted to Israel over all of those 400 and some years, so that by the time that Moses came to the burning bush and God began to deal with Moses and bring him as a deliverer of the people, israel, amen, israel, amen.

00:17:23.306 --> 00:17:31.246
When they got to the wilderness, god gave them something that was a substitute for the hearing of faith.

00:17:31.246 --> 00:17:40.782
Because they would not hear him, god assembled them on the first Pentecost, 50 days after Passover, and tried to speak to them from the mountain.

00:17:40.782 --> 00:17:43.211
And those people would not have it.

00:17:43.211 --> 00:17:49.724
Because they would not have it, they received the penalty of the law.

00:17:49.724 --> 00:17:57.663
The law had no faith, the law had no life, the law had no grace, the law had no power.

00:17:57.663 --> 00:18:20.545
It was just a simple set of rules that trained Israel in a special diet, set of rules that trained Israel in a special diet, trained them in a special way of being a military people and provided for them a special layer of divine providence if they kept the commandments of God In those commandments.

00:18:21.066 --> 00:18:37.188
Was all of this all about the sacrificial system, the sacrifices that are necessary for this, this, this, everything practically everything you did required a sacrifice or some sort of thanksgiving offering to the Lord.

00:18:37.188 --> 00:18:40.642
It had to be done in the way that he prescribed.

00:18:40.642 --> 00:18:49.205
It had to be done using this sacrificial system that he set up for them, because this thing traveled with them all the time.

00:18:49.205 --> 00:18:50.730
They were without excuse.

00:18:50.730 --> 00:18:52.061
They didn't have to go to the church.

00:18:52.061 --> 00:18:53.545
The church came to them.

00:18:53.545 --> 00:18:55.368
Amen.

00:18:55.368 --> 00:18:59.201
The church was right in the middle, so nobody had an excuse.

00:18:59.201 --> 00:19:06.291
They came out of Israel.

00:19:09.521 --> 00:19:16.843
Moses came out of Israel and gave Israel the law, the law.

00:19:16.843 --> 00:19:19.450
How can I say this?

00:19:19.450 --> 00:19:26.292
It is a mistake to say that the law defines Israel.

00:19:26.292 --> 00:19:36.068
What defines Israel is Isaac and Jacob and, to a large part, judah.

00:19:36.068 --> 00:19:40.984
Are you hearing me?

00:19:40.984 --> 00:19:48.061
What defines Israel is not the law, because the law was a punishment for not hearing, just the way.

00:19:48.061 --> 00:19:58.099
It was a punishment for the males over a certain age because of the fornication they committed while Moses was up on the mountain.

00:19:58.099 --> 00:20:01.167
They didn't get to enter the promised land.

00:20:02.131 --> 00:20:06.530
Okay Well, the law was given because they would not hear his voice.

00:20:06.530 --> 00:20:23.645
Do you know that if they had listened to the voice of God and that had continued down through the years, there would have been a nation of several million people earnestly expecting Jesus to appear.

00:20:23.645 --> 00:20:33.645
When he appeared, that millions of people would have gone around the planet in a heartbeat taking the message of the gospel?

00:20:33.645 --> 00:20:39.393
We would live in an entirely different place had Israel obeyed God.

00:20:39.393 --> 00:20:43.270
But they didn't, and so they were punished with the law.

00:20:43.270 --> 00:20:49.388
The law doesn't identify Israel, it identifies their disobedience.

00:20:49.388 --> 00:21:02.631
So if these Christian people that want to go back and become Jewish Christians, you know, don't understand why the law was given.

00:21:02.631 --> 00:21:14.683
The law, I mean Paul says the law is good and it's spiritual, but it's still not the gospel and it's still not life and it's still not faith.

00:21:14.683 --> 00:21:17.171
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:21:19.281 --> 00:21:28.268
So Moses came out of Abraham, moses and Aaron both did, and Aaron became the priest.

00:21:28.268 --> 00:21:39.309
The last time we heard of a priest was when Melchizedek was in the land Right, he was the priest of God.

00:21:39.309 --> 00:21:45.950
I said he was the priest of God, and we'll say it again he was the priest of God.

00:21:45.950 --> 00:21:46.980
To my'll say it again, he was the priest of God.

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:51.365
To my knowledge, there wasn't another one on the planet and why would there need to be?

00:21:51.365 --> 00:22:03.545
But when he left and I believe he left about the time, probably, that Joseph went to Egypt he went back.

00:22:03.545 --> 00:22:18.373
When he left, there was not another priest until Aaron, and Aaron did not come out of this same order.

00:22:21.164 --> 00:22:44.762
We find out later in the book of Psalms by David you're not hearing me by the revelation that was given to David in the book of Psalms we find out that there is a priesthood order according to Melchizedek, not according to Aaron, but an older order of priesthood, that is, according to the order of Melchizedek.

00:22:44.762 --> 00:23:27.326
That scripture, that verse, is the most quoted scripture in the New Testament, because God wants you to know that there is a new priesthood and that not a new priesthood, but there is a re-institution of a priesthood that came out of Abraham and Melchizedek's relationship and the law was just this subset, this aberration that came out because really Aaron should have been of that order but he was not.

00:23:27.326 --> 00:23:40.165
The law was given and Israel was called into that law and called out of Egypt to provide a womb for the seed.

00:23:40.165 --> 00:23:43.277
Listen to me very carefully.

00:23:43.277 --> 00:23:47.621
That had nothing to do with the law.

00:23:51.451 --> 00:23:54.796
Jesus was not a Levite, he was not related to Moses.

00:23:54.796 --> 00:23:56.230
He was not related to Moses.

00:23:56.230 --> 00:23:58.498
He was not related to Aaron.

00:23:58.498 --> 00:24:01.398
He was not related to Moses' mother.

00:24:01.398 --> 00:24:03.074
He was not, you know.

00:24:03.074 --> 00:24:04.378
He was not part of that.

00:24:04.378 --> 00:24:12.288
He was part of Judah, and Judah would have done what Judah did, amen.

00:24:12.288 --> 00:24:19.824
Had there been a law or no law, jesus did not come out of the law.

00:24:19.824 --> 00:24:22.153
He was born under the law.

00:24:22.153 --> 00:24:39.164
The law was given as a protection for him, to hide him, and the law and the nation of Israel was given as a people to be a womb for this man, jesus.

00:24:39.164 --> 00:24:42.259
He had to be born somewhere, amen.

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:44.029
That was the promise.

00:24:44.029 --> 00:24:52.644
But the promise was pinpointed by Joseph when he said a lawgiver shall not depart from under Judah's feet.

00:24:52.644 --> 00:24:53.625
Amen.

00:24:53.625 --> 00:24:56.680
That told you that he was going to be born of Judah.

00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:58.215
He was not going to be a Levite.

00:24:58.215 --> 00:25:03.214
John the Baptist was a Levite, but Jesus was not.

00:25:03.214 --> 00:25:06.823
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:25:08.329 --> 00:25:10.498
I know this is all real technical and who cares?

00:25:10.498 --> 00:25:15.458
I care Because you need to have a connect, you need to.

00:25:15.458 --> 00:25:25.510
You need to know why the new Testament starts with these words the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of Abraham, the son of David.

00:25:25.510 --> 00:25:42.646
You need to know why that scripture is in the Bible right there and you need to know why the subsequent verses are all about the genealogy from Abraham to Jesus.

00:25:42.646 --> 00:25:46.616
You need to know that.

00:25:46.616 --> 00:25:56.064
Someday you need to prove to yourself that there is only 41 generations listed between Abraham and Jesus.

00:25:56.064 --> 00:26:08.799
And yet it says that there were 14 generations between Abraham and David, 14 generations between David and the Babylonian captivity and 14 generations between David and the Christ.

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:11.518
Amen, but there's only 41 listed.

00:26:11.518 --> 00:26:17.358
So who is the 42nd generation?

00:26:17.358 --> 00:26:23.439
That would be you, that would be Jesus after the resurrection.

00:26:23.439 --> 00:26:27.976
Glory to God.

00:26:30.611 --> 00:26:32.994
So here we have Moses, or here we have.

00:26:32.994 --> 00:26:40.618
Here we have Moses, or here we have Aaron, abraham and Melchizedek.

00:26:40.618 --> 00:26:45.818
Fast forward 500 years and you have Moses, and more or less.

00:26:45.818 --> 00:26:48.317
And you have Moses and Aaron and the law.

00:26:48.317 --> 00:26:53.438
Another 500 years forward and you come to the day of the days of David.

00:26:53.438 --> 00:27:17.382
Come to the days of David, but before the days of David there were the days of Samuel, and Samuel was a prophet to David, in the same way that Aaron was a prophet to Moses and a priest, and the same way that Melchizedek was a prophet priest to Abraham.

00:27:17.382 --> 00:27:36.267
Let me say that again Samuel was a prophet priest to David, in the same way that Aaron was a prophet priest to Moses and that Melchizedek was a prophet priest to David, and so David was just like Jesus was born under the law.

00:27:36.267 --> 00:27:44.029
Melchizedek was a prophet priest to David, and so David was just like Jesus was born under the law.

00:27:47.369 --> 00:28:08.864
But he was born in a time when the priesthood and the kingship had to come out from the non-faith of the law and come back into the hearing of faith that Abraham had with Melchizedek.

00:28:08.864 --> 00:28:11.057
Are you understanding me?

00:28:11.057 --> 00:28:14.859
In other words, listen to it from this point of view.

00:28:14.859 --> 00:28:18.438
God sees everything all the time.

00:28:18.438 --> 00:28:24.144
So he knew what was going to happen about David and Goliath.

00:28:24.144 --> 00:28:26.390
You know since forever.

00:28:26.390 --> 00:28:52.521
But he also understood that if David came into the picture under Aaron's priesthood, in particular under the house of Eli, amen, david would never rise to the occasion and defeat Goliath, and he would never rise to the occasion to be the king of Israel.

00:28:52.521 --> 00:28:57.329
So God had to do something.

00:28:57.329 --> 00:29:19.140
He had to restore the priesthood to somebody that was not of Aaron but who would walk and function in the order of Melchizedek, even though they would be under the law.

00:29:19.140 --> 00:29:26.778
See, it's one thing to be part of the law, it's another thing to be under the law.

00:29:28.354 --> 00:29:35.240
So here comes this woman named Hannah and she starts pestering God at the gate of the temple.

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:38.073
You can read about it in Samuel, chapter 1.

00:29:38.073 --> 00:29:49.778
She just pesters God day in and day out, day in and day out, because her reproach is what she's childless, and she wants that reproach taken away.

00:29:49.778 --> 00:29:51.780
So God hears her prayer.

00:29:51.780 --> 00:30:02.657
But here comes who, eli and Eli in his great spiritual man of power for the hour.

00:30:02.657 --> 00:30:05.671
You know, he accuses her of being drunk.

00:30:05.671 --> 00:30:14.190
She said, nay, I'm not drunk, I'm just wearing God out with my persistence.

00:30:14.190 --> 00:30:17.454
I'm just wearing God out with my persistence.

00:30:17.454 --> 00:30:21.602
And so, sure enough, god heard her prayer, gave her a son.

00:30:22.563 --> 00:30:23.845
The boy's name was Samuel.

00:30:23.845 --> 00:30:30.490
When he was weaned, she took him and gave him to Eli.

00:30:30.490 --> 00:30:34.623
The very man that accused her of being drunk now had to raise the boy that he ridiculed.

00:30:34.623 --> 00:30:38.434
So you better be careful about you.

00:30:38.434 --> 00:30:40.895
Know what's the Bible said.

00:30:40.895 --> 00:30:45.175
You know, touch not mine anointed, do my prophets no harm.

00:30:45.175 --> 00:30:54.137
You know he had to spend all those years raising Eli, knowing I shouldn't have said that.

00:30:54.137 --> 00:30:55.801
Glory to God.

00:30:59.615 --> 00:31:06.936
The problem with Samuel is that he's not blood kin to Eli.

00:31:06.936 --> 00:31:14.554
And even if he was blood kin to Eli, he's not the firstborn Amen.

00:31:14.554 --> 00:31:16.686
And if he's not the firstborn Amen.

00:31:16.686 --> 00:31:23.838
And if he's not the firstborn blood kin of Eli, he's got no shot at being a high priest.

00:31:23.838 --> 00:31:27.354
Somebody say.

00:31:27.374 --> 00:31:42.583
But God, you see, the problem with Eli's family is that they were not ready for the decisive battle that was coming, and that battle was going to be, you know, multiple decades in the future.

00:31:42.583 --> 00:31:48.642
I mean, we had to go through Samuel's maturation.

00:31:48.642 --> 00:31:51.199
We had to go through Samuel as a young prophet.

00:31:51.199 --> 00:31:59.982
We had to go through the whole thing about Saul, and by the time David comes around, you know Samuel's an old man, or at least he's getting older.

00:31:59.982 --> 00:32:06.461
He'd been through, you know, several decades of living, but that didn't change.

00:32:06.461 --> 00:32:13.138
You know, god still had to deal with Eli's family because they were a stumbling block.

00:32:13.138 --> 00:32:28.359
They may have been the rightful priest of Israel according to the law Amen but they weren't going to get the job done when it came to finding.

00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:31.115
They had to find David.

00:32:32.479 --> 00:32:33.442
Can I preach here?

00:32:33.442 --> 00:32:35.394
You know you can't.

00:32:35.394 --> 00:32:37.316
There's some things that you just can't.

00:32:37.316 --> 00:32:40.044
You just can't overlook.

00:32:40.044 --> 00:32:49.325
Okay, the relationship of David and Samuel is a lot like the relationship of John the Baptist and Jesus.

00:32:49.325 --> 00:32:53.159
Samuel had to go and find David.

00:32:53.159 --> 00:32:59.219
David's destiny depended on Samuel finding him.

00:32:59.219 --> 00:33:16.195
If Samuel doesn't find him if Samuel doesn't take the horn of oil and go and he goes through the seven brothers and he discounts all of them and he settles on David because God pointed him out.

00:33:16.195 --> 00:33:25.209
If that doesn't happen and he discounts all of them and he settles on David because God pointed him out if that doesn't happen, david never becomes king.

00:33:25.209 --> 00:33:26.029
He never goes, fights Goliath.

00:33:26.029 --> 00:33:31.277
And if he did go fight Goliath he probably would have got killed.

00:33:31.277 --> 00:33:35.182
When God stirs up the order of things, there's still an order to things.

00:33:35.182 --> 00:33:42.153
It doesn't mean that there's just chaos, it just means there's a new order.

00:33:42.153 --> 00:33:42.273
Amen.

00:33:42.273 --> 00:34:01.673
And the new order was that Samuel, who was not supposed to be the high priest, was going to go anoint a young boy as the king when we still had a king, young boy as the king when we still had a king.

00:34:01.673 --> 00:34:06.742
So the guy who is not supposed to be the priest goes and anoints a boy who is not supposed to be king and God's all over it.

00:34:10.110 --> 00:34:29.545
Now, somebody reading this or thinking about this, you'd come to two conclusions Either God's really confused or he can do what he needs to do when he is not being obeyed the way he should be obeyed.

00:34:29.545 --> 00:34:36.481
You see, we've got this idea and this is an old pentecost idea.

00:34:36.481 --> 00:34:37.713
You know that.

00:34:37.713 --> 00:34:38.835
Well, bless god.

00:34:38.835 --> 00:34:51.476
If god can't find anybody, you know he'll raise up somebody out in the hymn, you know, and there's this, just one person's going to answer the call, you know, and and and if he doesn't find anybody, well, bless god.

00:34:51.476 --> 00:34:58.239
Know, god's just going to go back to heaven and be happy, you know, and the earth's just going to go to hell in a handbasket.

00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:00.795
I'm thinking to myself that stuff never happens.

00:35:00.795 --> 00:35:09.521
I said, god always wins If he has to move, if he has to stop the sun in the middle of the sky.

00:35:09.521 --> 00:35:11.280
You know, this is what he does.

00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:13.273
This is what we're learning, this is what I'm.

00:35:13.773 --> 00:35:23.740
This is the whole purpose of this thing, of this whole series of lessons, is to teach us this that when the enemy comes in, god's going to do something.

00:35:23.740 --> 00:35:26.592
He is not.

00:35:26.592 --> 00:35:32.003
Listen, he is not going to capitulate to a created angel.

00:35:32.003 --> 00:35:39.440
That is not going to happen in my universe, nor is it going to happen in God's universe.

00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:45.619
You can say whatever you like, you can think how powerful Satan is, all you want to.

00:35:45.619 --> 00:35:51.795
I'm telling you that he is not going to capitulate to a fallen created being.

00:35:51.795 --> 00:35:56.918
If he didn't capitulate to Adam.

00:35:56.918 --> 00:36:00.139
He is not going to capitulate to Satan.

00:36:00.139 --> 00:36:04.460
You need to hear that real carefully.

00:36:04.460 --> 00:36:16.159
Because Adam was a higher level creation Bible says he made him a little lower than angels for the glory that would be revealed.

00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:20.260
So there's a coming after when he won't be a little lower than the angels.

00:36:20.260 --> 00:36:23.355
Over to God.

00:36:24.849 --> 00:36:27.539
Eli and his sons weren't ready for this decisive battle.

00:36:27.539 --> 00:36:33.199
They were not ready to confront Antichrist.

00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:35.306
They were compromised.

00:36:35.306 --> 00:36:36.293
And because they were not ready to confront Antichrist, they were compromised.

00:36:36.293 --> 00:36:41.639
And because they were compromised, they had to be replaced.

00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:58.353
When you say the word compromised in that sense, that means they were beyond redemption, they were beyond dealing with.

00:36:58.353 --> 00:37:03.862
We couldn't, we couldn't sober Eli up, we couldn't get his sons from.

00:37:03.862 --> 00:37:05.853
You know, you know what his sons were doing.

00:37:05.853 --> 00:37:11.976
Right, his sons were picking the best pieces of meat out of the sacrifice and going home and getting fat on it.

00:37:11.976 --> 00:37:13.860
Eli was getting fat on it.

00:37:13.860 --> 00:37:16.403
Eli finally died because he was so fat.

00:37:16.403 --> 00:37:19.476
He fell off of his off of his stool and broke his neck.

00:37:19.476 --> 00:37:27.498
You know, the God's got a sense of humor.

00:37:27.498 --> 00:37:36.478
They, Eli and his sons, were so reprobate, they couldn't be dealt with.

00:37:36.478 --> 00:37:41.538
They had to be replaced.

00:37:42.190 --> 00:37:54.001
And so God chooses a man deliberately who was not of Levi and who was not of the bloodline of Eli.

00:37:54.001 --> 00:37:58.298
Who was not of Levi and who was not of the bloodline of Eli?

00:37:58.298 --> 00:38:02.090
He was not of the high priest order, amen.

00:38:02.090 --> 00:38:03.934
He was of the tribe of Ephraim.

00:38:03.934 --> 00:38:06.820
Now you say, well, that's good.

00:38:06.820 --> 00:38:22.503
He was of one of Joseph's sons, yes, but he was also the offspring of the high priestess of an order of priesthood called on in Egypt, amen.

00:38:22.503 --> 00:38:25.498
This was not a minor league bunch of priests.

00:38:25.498 --> 00:38:34.539
These priests were out of these priests came the ones that could tap the Nile River and turn it into blood, and you know we're talking high-level magicians.

00:38:34.539 --> 00:38:36.675
She was of that order.

00:38:36.675 --> 00:38:43.800
That bloodline got into Joseph's offspring and it was havoc for Israel from then on out.

00:38:47.371 --> 00:39:05.280
Listen, folks, before Judah and Benjamin were ever taken into captivity, the northern kingdoms, led by Ephraim and Manasseh, broke off from David's leadership and, in a few decades, were never heard of again.

00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:09.599
You've heard about the 10 lost tribes of Israel.

00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:33.077
Well, the 10 lost tribes of Israel are lost because they refused to submit to David's kingship when it came to Solomon and Rehoboam and his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and because they they were of this Egyptian bloodline over to God, they raised up.

00:39:33.077 --> 00:39:41.797
They raised up idols to Baal once again, just like they did in the wilderness when Moses was up on the mountain.

00:39:41.797 --> 00:39:44.952
God said I'm done with them.

00:39:48.621 --> 00:40:10.838
Praise God, samuel was made a high priest because he could not be a high priest according to the order of Aaron and according to the order of Levi, because he was not of them.

00:40:10.838 --> 00:40:18.224
Now I've heard people, I've read after people, and they say well, that was all cancelled out because he was adopted son of Eli.

00:40:18.224 --> 00:40:19.972
I don't see any of that in the Bible.

00:40:19.972 --> 00:40:27.130
He may have been, but in my opinion that doesn't change anything.

00:40:27.130 --> 00:40:30.614
Amen.

00:40:30.614 --> 00:40:35.322
He was of Ephraim, bloodline of Ephraim.

00:40:35.322 --> 00:40:41.376
He was not in the legal, in the law line of priesthood.

00:40:41.376 --> 00:40:47.407
Not only that, but he needed a different order.

00:40:47.407 --> 00:40:56.623
He needed an order that was of the hearing of faith, and that order is the order of Melchizedek.

00:40:56.623 --> 00:40:59.478
Now let me just explain that for a second.

00:40:59.478 --> 00:41:08.980
The order of Levi, the order of Aaron, does not have a hearing of faith.

00:41:10.052 --> 00:41:15.764
If they want to know what God wants to do, they have to ask the right question.

00:41:15.764 --> 00:41:16.730
Do they have to ask the right question?

00:41:16.730 --> 00:41:18.918
And then they have to roll the dice.

00:41:18.918 --> 00:41:27.652
Okay, well, we'll make it sound spiritual and say they have to roll the umming and the thumbing you know.

00:41:27.652 --> 00:41:34.664
So we don't accuse them of, you know, playing at the roulette table or whatever it is that they do.

00:41:34.664 --> 00:41:38.177
Hey, it was the same thing.

00:41:38.177 --> 00:41:39.873
They took some stones and they threw them.

00:41:39.873 --> 00:41:46.253
One combination was a yes and one combination was a no, but that all depended on what question you asked.

00:41:46.253 --> 00:41:48.293
Do you know how many possibilities?

00:41:48.293 --> 00:41:54.934
I could figure it out for you, how many possibilities there are in going through seven different brothers?

00:41:54.934 --> 00:42:05.693
I mean, it had been all day throwing the stones, but that was the only thing they had, because they had no faith.

00:42:05.693 --> 00:42:08.778
They couldn't hear God.

00:42:08.778 --> 00:42:11.224
Are you hearing me?

00:42:11.224 --> 00:42:14.599
They couldn't hear him and they couldn couldn't, it didn't matter.

00:42:15.373 --> 00:42:33.760
There are a lot of questions that God wants to answer that you don't have the intelligence to ask, and so a lot of conversations with God will start with a question have you ever thought about, have you ever considered, do you know, what this scripture really means?

00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:38.114
What do you think this thing means?

00:42:38.114 --> 00:42:39.376
Have you thought about this?

00:42:39.376 --> 00:42:50.782
And he'll start to ask you questions that he wants to answer, but you haven't got the sense yet, you haven't developed enough to ask the question.

00:42:50.782 --> 00:42:53.981
So if he waited on you to ask the question according, like the law required, you had to ask the question.

00:42:53.981 --> 00:42:56.976
So if he waited on you to ask the question, according like the law required, you had to ask the right question.

00:42:56.976 --> 00:42:59.474
Is this the right one to anoint?

00:42:59.474 --> 00:43:04.516
Nope, you know.

00:43:04.516 --> 00:43:10.731
I mean what if they had an earthquake that day and the stones, just you know, ended up in a tree someplace?

00:43:10.731 --> 00:43:11.653
What are you going to do with that?

00:43:11.653 --> 00:43:16.961
Cold as hell?

00:43:16.961 --> 00:43:18.945
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:43:20.110 --> 00:43:23.780
Do you know why you never hear of an apostle named Matthias?

00:43:23.780 --> 00:43:34.221
And I have no doubt that he served the Lord in a marvelous and wondrous way.

00:43:34.221 --> 00:43:42.280
The Lord in a marvelous and wondrous way, or else he never would have been suggested by by the Apostles that day when they voted between him and Barnabas.

00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:46.014
Are you hearing me?

00:43:46.014 --> 00:43:48.742
You know why you never hear about him?

00:43:48.742 --> 00:43:52.233
Because he wasn't supposed to be the 12th.

00:43:52.233 --> 00:43:57.572
Paul was supposed to be the 12th, but nobody asked.

00:43:57.572 --> 00:44:01.813
They just asked which of these two.

00:44:01.813 --> 00:44:05.391
They didn't ask by faith.

00:44:05.391 --> 00:44:10.367
Lord show us who you want, they said.

00:44:10.367 --> 00:44:14.157
They told God, show us between these two who you want.

00:44:14.157 --> 00:44:37.077
And so they were doing the screening, they were doing the resume processing, they funneled through all the possibilities and they say these two have to be the best and their only requirement was that they were with them from the beginning, amen.

00:44:37.077 --> 00:44:41.251
So they picked out two that they thought were the best and the lot.

00:44:41.251 --> 00:44:44.731
It's what the word of the Bible says.

00:44:44.731 --> 00:44:46.469
The lot fell to Matthias.

00:44:46.469 --> 00:44:49.168
In other words, they rolled the dice and he won.

00:44:49.168 --> 00:44:58.793
I'm going to tell you that God did not do that with Jesus when he picked the 11.

00:44:58.793 --> 00:45:08.244
Actually, when he even picked Judas, he knew exactly who it was.

00:45:08.244 --> 00:45:11.434
When he came up off the mountain that morning, he knew exactly who he was going to pick.

00:45:11.434 --> 00:45:18.775
But Tim said follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.

00:45:18.775 --> 00:45:24.007
We don't have a single, we have no recorded evidence of Jesus ever throwing the dice.

00:45:24.007 --> 00:45:29.617
Glory to God anyway.

00:45:29.617 --> 00:45:30.378
Praise the Lord.

00:45:33.608 --> 00:45:40.838
Samuel was made a high priest of a different order, an order of faith, the hearing of faith, the order of Melchizedek.

00:45:40.838 --> 00:45:47.054
Because he had to hear God say take thine horn of oil and go.

00:45:47.054 --> 00:45:53.130
He had to hear him say do this, do that, do this, do that.

00:45:53.130 --> 00:45:59.775
And finally had to hear him say go, anoint this Shepherd boy, king of Israel.

00:45:59.775 --> 00:46:03.085
So I found him to be a man after my own heart.

00:46:03.085 --> 00:46:06.449
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:46:07.230 --> 00:46:10.333
Now, when did this training?

00:46:10.333 --> 00:46:18.461
Bible says that when he was but a young boy.

00:46:18.461 --> 00:46:22.394
The voice of the Lord came to him in the night.

00:46:22.394 --> 00:46:26.675
Bible says air, the light, the lamp and the temple went out.

00:46:26.675 --> 00:46:29.824
Amen, amen.

00:46:29.824 --> 00:46:36.157
While there was still the light in the holy place of the Holy Ghost.

00:46:36.157 --> 00:46:44.811
Before it was allowed to go out, god spoke to the prophet Samuel and he said Samuel.

00:46:44.811 --> 00:46:47.710
Samuel goes here, am I?

00:46:47.710 --> 00:46:51.474
And so he runs into Eli and says you called me.

00:46:51.474 --> 00:46:53.391
You must have called me.

00:46:53.391 --> 00:46:55.248
He said I didn't call you.

00:46:55.248 --> 00:46:57.494
So this happens a few times.

00:46:57.494 --> 00:47:04.688
And finally Eli says the next time you hear this voice respond, say here I am Lord.

00:47:04.688 --> 00:47:11.612
Well, samuel's probably still regretting that.

00:47:11.652 --> 00:47:24.951
He said that because God began to prophesy, and God began to tell Samuel what was going to happen to Eli, what was going to happen to his sons and what his destiny was in all of that.

00:47:24.951 --> 00:47:31.849
And so Samuel was raised to be the high priest when he didn't deserve to be the high priest.

00:47:31.849 --> 00:47:41.856
He wasn't the son of Eli and he wasn't of the tribe of the Levites, he wasn't of the house of Aaron in any way, shape or form.

00:47:41.856 --> 00:47:50.115
And yet God was going to raise him up as the prophet to Israel and the high priest over the tabernacle.

00:47:50.115 --> 00:48:04.365
That's why I'm telling you, god broke his own Commandments because there's nowhere in the in the law that says you can just bring anybody in that you want to bring.

00:48:10.414 --> 00:48:12.677
But there, this child was a miracle child.

00:48:12.677 --> 00:48:13.838
This child was a miracle child.

00:48:13.838 --> 00:48:19.536
This child was a child of intercession, a child of weeping, a child of travail, amen.

00:48:19.536 --> 00:48:21.030
And God honored that.

00:48:21.030 --> 00:48:29.273
Not only honored it by breaking her womb with this firstborn, but the firstborn was consecrated and given to the Lord according to the law.

00:48:29.273 --> 00:48:36.637
And God took him out of the law and made him the prophet over Israel.

00:48:36.985 --> 00:48:46.719
But more specifically, he became the Melchi to David's Zedek.

00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:50.510
Zedek means the king, melchi means the priest.

00:48:50.510 --> 00:48:54.054
And then he became the Melchi to David's Zedek.

00:48:54.054 --> 00:48:55.514
He became the Melchizedek to David Because that is the priest, amen.

00:48:55.514 --> 00:48:56.260
He became the Melchi to David Zedek.

00:48:56.260 --> 00:48:58.990
He became the Melchizedek to David because that is the order.

00:48:58.990 --> 00:49:10.387
There's only two orders You're either going to be of the house of Aaron or you've got to go back to the prior priesthood.

00:49:10.387 --> 00:49:12.492
Oh, glory to God.

00:49:12.492 --> 00:49:18.487
Listen to me, folks, you don't get to be a priest just because you want to be a priest.

00:49:18.487 --> 00:49:20.431
The Bible says that about Jesus.

00:49:20.431 --> 00:49:40.668
He didn't seek after becoming a priest, but he became a priest according to the order of Melchizedek, not because of the link to a bloodline that perishes, but instead he belongs to a bloodline that is established on the basis of eternal life.

00:49:40.668 --> 00:49:44.655
Go over there, god.

00:49:44.655 --> 00:49:52.735
So God reached back and gave the priesthood that formerly was with Melchizedek.

00:49:52.735 --> 00:50:01.418
Now he gave it to Samuel and under that priesthood David was anointed Amen.

00:50:01.418 --> 00:50:07.577
And Samuel ruled Israel as the high priest of the order of Melchizedek.

00:50:07.577 --> 00:50:10.612
Oh, glory to God.

00:50:10.612 --> 00:50:28.929
And from this order, from this order of Melchizedek, he ordered, he anointed David as king, and David became the first king of Israel anointed in this order of Melchizedek.

00:50:28.929 --> 00:50:30.532
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:50:30.532 --> 00:50:44.172
David, under the law, as he lived as a boy for 16 years, was powerless to confront Goliath and Antichrist.

00:50:44.172 --> 00:50:54.315
But once he was anointed, once he was anointed with the same anointing, then he could operate in the same kind of faith.

00:50:54.315 --> 00:51:04.204
Amen, praise God.

00:51:04.204 --> 00:51:20.378
Now watch this.

00:51:20.418 --> 00:51:22.905
From this point on, the priesthood was not passed to the firstborn of Eli.

00:51:22.905 --> 00:51:31.333
They went, the Jews went back and they found someone who was next in line if Eli and his two sons were killed.

00:51:31.333 --> 00:51:32.804
And they found that one.

00:51:32.804 --> 00:51:37.797
And that became the priesthood that Abiathar was associated with.

00:51:37.797 --> 00:51:43.518
But Abiathar disqualified himself in one generation by following after Absalom.

00:51:43.518 --> 00:51:47.987
Are you hearing me Listen?

00:51:47.987 --> 00:51:54.596
You cannot mess with what God has chosen and what he has put his hand on and what he has anointed.

00:51:54.596 --> 00:51:57.695
He anointed David, amen.

00:51:57.695 --> 00:52:08.119
He touched David's life and Abiathar despised that and chose a political.

00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:14.431
It looked like Absalom was going to be the next one on the throne, so he cast his lot with him.

00:52:17.126 --> 00:52:24.612
And when Abiathar failed as the high priest because he was not of God, there was another.

00:52:24.612 --> 00:52:31.173
I said, there was another whose name was Zadok, another Melchizedek.

00:52:31.173 --> 00:52:34.050
Oh, glory to God.

00:52:34.050 --> 00:52:45.735
And from that bloodline, from on forward, came the priest of Israel.

00:52:45.735 --> 00:52:48.351
That was the bloodline of John the Baptist.

00:52:48.351 --> 00:52:50.958
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:52:50.958 --> 00:52:56.713
And Zadok, listen.

00:52:56.713 --> 00:53:08.896
Zadok anointed Solomon, and Solomon bore Nathan.

00:53:08.896 --> 00:53:37.077
And of the bloodline of Nathan, a thousand years later, and of the bloodline of Nathan, a thousand years later, would be born a little girl in Nazareth, to whom the angel Gabriel was sent.

00:53:37.077 --> 00:53:39.440
And she said how can this thing be?

00:53:39.440 --> 00:54:00.777
Oh, hallelujah, praise god, she was chosen because of the bloodline.

00:54:00.777 --> 00:54:08.632
She was the listen.

00:54:08.632 --> 00:54:18.253
She was the rightful ruler of Israel, not Joseph, not her husband.

00:54:18.253 --> 00:54:38.135
Her husband, his bloodline came through the bloodline that was cursed when they went into Babylon, and so nobody of that bloodline could ever sit on the throne again, but at least it established who he was.

00:54:38.135 --> 00:54:47.197
He was the firstborn of a kingly family, but just like he wasn't really Jesus' father, he wasn't really king.

00:54:47.197 --> 00:54:55.958
Mary was the queen of Israel and her firstborn son was the king.

00:54:55.958 --> 00:55:00.411
Glory to God.

00:55:00.411 --> 00:55:04.768
And this is all because of Samuel.

00:55:07.896 --> 00:55:10.554
Now here comes David.

00:55:10.554 --> 00:55:17.597
I'm talking about still being in the shadow of Samuel.

00:55:17.597 --> 00:55:29.210
You don't just get anointed with the anointing of the priesthood of Melchizedek and don't learn something.

00:55:29.210 --> 00:55:33.239
Okay, why is that?

00:55:33.239 --> 00:55:36.512
Because we operate in a different level of faith.

00:55:36.512 --> 00:55:40.891
We operate in the faith of hearing, so we get accustomed to hearing god.

00:55:40.891 --> 00:55:52.844
When you get accustomed to hearing god, god has this, you know, ongoing habit of always wanting to elevate your level of revelation and understanding.

00:55:52.844 --> 00:55:57.697
I don't know about you, but I, he just doesn't leave me alone.

00:55:57.697 --> 00:55:58.688
I mean, he just, you know.

00:55:58.688 --> 00:55:59.329
Have you thought?

00:55:59.329 --> 00:56:05.538
You know he just keeps pushing it, which is fine.

00:56:06.188 --> 00:56:21.068
But if you think that didn't happen to David when he was the one who was anointed by Samuel and Samuel had just spent, you know, multiple decades living like that, oh, you're not hearing me.

00:56:21.068 --> 00:56:56.336
Do you not remember when Saul got antsy that Samuel didn't show up at the right time and so he stepped out of his kingly anointing into the anointing of the priesthood of Melchizedek and started to offer the sacrifices, because the man of God had not shown up at the right time.

00:56:56.336 --> 00:57:03.898
And so they meet along the road and Samuel says what is that that you've done?

00:57:03.898 --> 00:57:09.090
He said I didn't do anything Besides that you were late.

00:57:09.090 --> 00:57:15.257
He said what is the sound of the bleeding of sheep that I hear?

00:57:15.257 --> 00:57:24.054
See, he heard that sound way down Because he could hear by faith.

00:57:24.054 --> 00:57:26.873
God told him exactly what was going on.

00:57:27.284 --> 00:57:29.112
When Samuel came, he couldn't lie to him.

00:57:29.112 --> 00:57:31.072
He tried to lie, but he couldn't.

00:57:31.072 --> 00:57:33.010
Why couldn't he lie to him?

00:57:33.010 --> 00:57:35.454
Because God had told him exactly what had happened.

00:57:35.454 --> 00:57:37.849
See, that doesn't happen under the law.

00:57:37.849 --> 00:57:39.474
You're not hearing me.

00:57:39.474 --> 00:57:40.496
That doesn't happen.

00:57:40.496 --> 00:57:42.713
Those things don't happen under the law.

00:57:42.713 --> 00:57:52.465
They happen because people are operating in a level of faith that comes by the priesthood of Melchizedek.

00:57:52.465 --> 00:57:54.693
It's part of that priesthood.

00:57:54.693 --> 00:58:01.675
That's what was taught to Abraham, first by Noah, then by Jesus, in the form of Melchizedek.

00:58:01.675 --> 00:58:04.610
Glory to God.

00:58:07.987 --> 00:58:18.134
So, samuel, I'm convinced of this, that when David cut off the head of the giant, samuel had to be in proximity.

00:58:18.134 --> 00:58:21.112
I mean, he wasn't going to be hiding away someplace, not seeing this.

00:58:21.112 --> 00:58:22.476
He had to be there.

00:58:22.476 --> 00:58:24.931
He said, david, come here.

00:58:24.931 --> 00:58:38.119
I want you to take that head, I want you to carry it up to the gate of Jerusalem and I want you to stand there and lift it up, up to the gate of Jerusalem.

00:58:38.119 --> 00:58:49.143
And I want you to stand there and lift it up, and I just want you to stand there and let them see what is coming to them.

00:58:49.143 --> 00:59:06.050
And so David did, took the head, brought it to Jerusalem, because the man of God said it is your destiny to repossess the city of Jerusalem and make it the city of David.

00:59:06.050 --> 00:59:09.416
You will build God a temple in the very place where Melchizedek had his.

00:59:09.416 --> 00:59:21.554
God will build you a house and it will be magnificent, and you will rule and reign with a power that has never been seen upon the earth before.

00:59:21.554 --> 00:59:38.494
These things God is going to give to you, not because you deserve it, but because you believed him and because now you know this, you are the bearer of the seed.

00:59:43.007 --> 01:00:00.719
There is absolutely no way to explain how David went in in a little bit more than three decades, from a shepherd to a man who could build that.

01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:03.068
The top picture there.

01:00:03.068 --> 01:00:14.836
That is worth several tens of billions of dollars in our money today, with money that was in his own hand.

01:00:14.836 --> 01:00:17.894
It was his own personal treasury.

01:00:17.894 --> 01:00:20.813
He didn't have to rob Israel to get it.

01:00:20.813 --> 01:00:26.855
He got it from the plunder of the nations that God put into his hand.

01:00:26.855 --> 01:00:36.773
God said I can't, I can't let you build the house, your hands are too bloody so, but I will give it to your son to build.

01:00:36.773 --> 01:00:38.692
But what did he give David?

01:00:38.692 --> 01:00:42.074
He gave David the wealth to build it.

01:00:42.074 --> 01:00:46.454
And then not only that, he gave him the plans.

01:00:50.585 --> 01:00:57.199
We often think of Solomon as being so wise that he came up with all this, but that didn't happen.

01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:07.657
All of that was given to David, amen, just like all of this was given to Moses up on the mountain.

01:01:07.657 --> 01:01:13.956
This was like nursery school compared to that.

01:01:13.956 --> 01:01:16.387
This was like nursery school compared to that.

01:01:16.387 --> 01:01:20.530
Every stone had to be cut miles away.

01:01:20.530 --> 01:01:23.094
There had to be a transportation system.

01:01:23.094 --> 01:01:31.842
Some of those stones you can still see them today in the Wailing Wall, the Western Wall, is part of the basic foundation.

01:01:31.842 --> 01:01:35.382
Some of those stones are huge.

01:01:35.382 --> 01:01:36.548
They weighed multiple tons.

01:01:36.548 --> 01:01:39.945
There had to be a transportation system that got them up.

01:01:39.945 --> 01:01:44.036
There wasn't all the hammers and everything had to be muffled.

01:01:44.036 --> 01:01:48.728
The stones had to be perfectly fit.

01:01:48.728 --> 01:01:55.619
There had to be a technology developed for all that, and that was all given to David.

01:01:55.619 --> 01:02:01.416
Glory to God, hallelujah.

01:02:03.525 --> 01:02:19.913
I'm talking about the difference between the law, because there was no law in the faith and there was no faith in the law and there was no the faith and there was no faith in the law and there was no.

01:02:19.913 --> 01:02:30.806
The law was given to Israel as a poor substitute for what they could have had had they heard the voice of the Lord Hallelujah.

01:02:30.806 --> 01:02:38.666
So he took the head of Goliath.

01:02:38.666 --> 01:02:42.639
He tauntedunted the Jebusites, promised them they were going to be next, and that did happen.

01:02:42.639 --> 01:02:47.351
The stronghold of David had to be possessed because it was a stronghold of Melchizedek.

01:02:47.351 --> 01:03:06.298
Part of the reason that that all of this took so long, almost a thousand years, was that the sins of the Amorites in possessing Jerusalem and trampling on the place where Melchizedek lived amen.

01:03:06.298 --> 01:03:10.394
There had to be a fulfilling of that.

01:03:10.394 --> 01:03:21.146
There had to be a filling up of that in the eyes of God, so that when he moved, he movedively and he broke them off and gave that city to David.

01:03:21.146 --> 01:03:23.253
Hallelujah.

01:03:24.297 --> 01:03:24.778
So well, what?

01:03:24.778 --> 01:03:25.782
What's all that got to do?

01:03:25.782 --> 01:03:30.327
They wouldn't have been, they wouldn't have been afraid of David if they hadn't seen him come to the gate with that head.

01:03:30.327 --> 01:03:32.394
I'm serious when he comes to that gate with that head.

01:03:32.394 --> 01:03:43.159
I'm serious when he comes to that gate with that head that's probably half the size of him, you know and he holds it up like that with supernatural strength.

01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:44.704
Amen.

01:03:44.704 --> 01:03:50.572
The next time he shows up with an army, you know they're probably wondering how can we get out of here?

01:03:50.572 --> 01:04:00.697
But the most important thing, go where they go.

01:04:00.697 --> 01:04:05.914
I'm not going to point this in your eyes, don't worry.

01:04:08.865 --> 01:04:12.653
Most important thing is this spot, right about right out here.

01:04:12.653 --> 01:04:23.331
That had to be repossessed because that is where Jesus was going to be crucified.

01:04:23.331 --> 01:04:33.532
That couldn't be in the hands of the Jebusites or the Amorites or the giants or anything else.

01:04:33.532 --> 01:04:56.657
God may have let them play the fool at the stronghold of Melchizedek, but they were not going to possess the place that Abraham had sacrificed Isaac and that God was about to sacrifice Jesus a millennia later.

01:04:56.657 --> 01:04:59.112
That had to be preserved.

01:04:59.112 --> 01:05:03.987
Now watch this We've talked about.

01:05:05.251 --> 01:05:11.233
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God raises up a standard against him.

01:05:11.233 --> 01:05:13.318
Amen.

01:05:13.318 --> 01:05:19.798
The standard was not the slingshot and the standard was not the stone.

01:05:19.798 --> 01:05:22.532
The standard was the head of Goliath.

01:05:22.532 --> 01:05:48.036
And David, the king lifted up that standard under the anointing of Melchizedek and in the shadow of Samuel, and said I am come to reestablish the stronghold of Melchizedek on the earth.

01:05:48.036 --> 01:05:54.425
Praise God, hallelujah, hallelujah.

01:05:54.425 --> 01:05:59.036
Is there not a cause?

01:05:59.036 --> 01:06:07.978
Sometimes in our lives we just we have to cut the head off.

01:06:07.978 --> 01:06:13.666
Sometimes we just have to grab the snake and cut the head off.

01:06:13.666 --> 01:06:30.204
And if you know who has been behind the infestation of snakes in your life, sometimes you just have to take that head and hang it up like that.

01:06:30.204 --> 01:06:31.889
Amen.

01:06:31.889 --> 01:06:37.291
You've got to be the one that raises up the standard that God is raising up for you.

01:06:37.291 --> 01:06:41.585
Praise God, hallelujah.

01:06:41.585 --> 01:06:48.170
David said who is this Philistine that defies the armies of the living God?

01:06:51.954 --> 01:07:02.751
But the most important thing that we see here tonight is not a rehash of the of the battle between David and Goliath.

01:07:02.751 --> 01:07:55.628
That's important, but understand this David would have never showed up had he not been anointed by a priest who is not of the house of Aaron, not been anointed by the blood of giants, married an Israeli man who had come in the possessing army, the conquering army, and her name was Rahab, and she had a son whose name was Boaz.

01:07:55.628 --> 01:08:30.198
Who married a woman whose name was Ruth, who had a son whose name was Obed, who had a son whose name was Jesse, who had a son of no reputation whose name was David, who became one of the two pillars in the very first verse of your New Testament.

01:08:30.198 --> 01:08:41.208
This is the genealogy of Jesus the Christ, the son of Abraham, the son of David.

01:08:41.208 --> 01:08:46.699
You can't be one without the other.

01:08:46.699 --> 01:09:09.585
You can't be the son of David, you can't have, can't have them hollering O, o, thou son of David, unless he's also the son of Abraham, and he can't be the son of Abraham, and skip the link that Matthew ties together.

01:09:10.766 --> 01:09:18.082
Because God changed everything for David, he gave him this, listen, he gave him.

01:09:18.082 --> 01:09:25.194
Because God changed everything for David, he gave him this, listen, he gave him this temple, right here, when David had this in his hands.

01:09:25.194 --> 01:09:33.573
As a stopgap for this, david erected this on the threshing floor of Obed-Edom Amen.

01:09:33.573 --> 01:09:43.710
They had a tabernacle, they had an ark, they had a candelabra, they had the table of Shobret, they had the brazen altar.

01:09:43.710 --> 01:09:44.713
They had all of that.

01:09:44.713 --> 01:09:53.493
They didn't need this, they had this and they had a priesthood.

01:09:53.493 --> 01:09:55.386
Amen.

01:09:56.650 --> 01:09:57.594
Well, glory to God.

01:09:57.594 --> 01:10:06.615
But God said I gave this to a tribe that didn't even bear the seed.

01:10:06.615 --> 01:10:13.533
What shall I do for my servant, david, who is the seed bearer?

01:10:13.533 --> 01:10:16.420
What shall I do for the man, david, who is the seed bearer?

01:10:16.420 --> 01:10:19.572
What shall I do for the man that is after my own heart?

01:10:19.572 --> 01:10:21.837
Glory to God.

01:10:21.837 --> 01:10:38.900
What shall I do for my son, david, because I have anointed him with an anointing that is so powerful?

01:10:38.900 --> 01:10:44.351
So, because I have anointed him with an anointing that is so powerful and so strong, hallelujah, glory to god.

01:10:47.345 --> 01:11:05.872
Praise the name of the lord, son of abraham, son of David, both of them anointed with the powerful anointing of Melchizedek.

01:11:05.872 --> 01:11:08.877
Glory to God, praise the name of the Lord.

01:11:08.877 --> 01:11:20.104
Father, we just pray that in some way, lord, you will take this word.

01:11:20.104 --> 01:11:27.055
There's not even words to describe how inadequately this has been preached.

01:11:27.055 --> 01:11:39.448
Oh God, take the kernel of it, take the core of it, multiply it in our hearts, lord, that we might know who you really are, who you came out of.

01:11:39.448 --> 01:11:42.274
Hallelujah, that all these things were just set up for you.

01:11:42.274 --> 01:11:48.753
Glory to God, thank you Lord.

01:11:48.753 --> 01:11:49.454
Thank you Lord.

01:11:49.454 --> 01:11:50.176
Thank you, lord.

01:11:50.176 --> 01:11:53.686
Praise God forever.

01:11:53.686 --> 01:11:56.845
Blessed be the name of the Lord, amen.
