God even made David the progenitor of the
Savior of the world. Gods beloved son in
whom He was well pleased" How Jesus
sprung from the House of David" is not
easily explained. Joseph the husband of the
Virgin Mary is recorded in Luke l-27 as
Joseph of the house of David" The Holy
Ghost is recorded as the father of Jesus.
The only office performed by Joseph in per-
fecting the scheme of salvation was to dream
that his wife Mary would bear son by the
Holy Ghost Luke l-35 "And also that holy
thing, which shall be born of thee Nary
shall be called the son of God" Luke l-69
"And hath raised up horn of salvation for
us in the house of his servant David" JOS
eph was merely the deposed or side-tracked
step-fathcr of Jesus, and it is up to the
Bible revsionists to trace His ancestry to
David. Figuring on the Trinity and trac
ing the genealogy of Jesus to David, are two
problems that should be settled once and
for all by the revisionists.
King David's military and matrimonial en-
tanpng alliances were numerous ana unique.
King Saul in Samuel 1917 offered David
his daughter Merah for wife, II only DAVID
would fight the Lords battles for Saul, and
David in order 20 become the Kings son-ih
law said he would accept her, but Merah re-
;ected David and took Adriel instead. Then
lSauls) daughter Mchal for a wife if David
would 90 out and bring in portions OF one
hundred mutilated Philistines, and David put
on his war paint and went out and brought
in two hundred David never did anything
in the slaughter business by halves when he
was on the firing line. 1t is recorded in the
Doth verse "And Michal Sauls daughter
loved David" This is the first official record
we have of woman loving a man. Since
Michaps day there have been Others. Saul,
from the day David became his n-in-law,
sought to kill David and the Sweet Singer
of Israel owes his name and fame to his
wife Michal and her brother Jonathan.
Saul pursued David up hill and down dale
and David hid in mountains, caves, and secret
places to keep Saul from numbering MN
Nichal and Johnathan were true as steel TO
David Once when Saul was going to sieze
and slay David in his bed "Michal let David
down through a window, and Niichal took an
image and laid it in the bed, and put pillow
of goats hair for his bolster and covered 1T
with cloth" This deception of Michals
saved David's life. "And David fled and es'
capped and came to Samuel to Ramah' saul
was wrath and sent messengers to take David
"and the Spirit of God was upon the messen'
gers of Saul. and they also prophesied." Saul
kent on the war path after David Saul went
after David himself "And he went on and
prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and
law down naked all that day. and all that
night Wherefore they say, rs Saul also
among the prophetsY' This method of max
ing a prophet was to say the least of it both
peculiar and unconventional. but perhaps
Saul could prophesy better naked than with
his clothes on. We are told the ways OF
Providence are past finding out.
The Popes Bible revisionists might try
Saul's method. If it would help prophesy, it
should help the revision of prophesy. Now
this Michal the daughter of Saul, who was
David's first wife, is, with no exception, the
most wonderful woman in sacred or any
other kind of history. This Michal should be
canonized above all prophets, priests and
k;pos of Holv Writ
