Ih@ DIDle 10 snow Zoo purpose IN
the future, and we find that Solo
mons temple was Gods house. In
/. Kings, chapter 5 and reading from
the fifth verse, Solomon, speaking,
said, 81 propose to build an house
unto the name of the Lord my God,
as the Lord spoke unto David my
father, saying, Thy son whom / will
set upon thy throne in thy room, he
shall build an house unto my name ."
Only type of that house that Christ
promised.
Then we find that God made a
promise direct to David concerning
this future temple and David had the
assurance that he should be in the
kingdom, because it was promised
him that the temple should be estab-
lished before his face and also that
the one who should suffer for the sins
of the people should build an house
for Gods name, and the throne of his
kingdom should last forever.
Solomon's temple has long gone out
Of existence, but the Fathers house
that is to be built when the Lord
Jesus takes all kingdoms to himself,
will stand forever.
David is simply sleeping in the
tomb at the present time waiting for
his greater son to call for him to
come forth, as he is the resurrection
and the life.
So let US look at the proof of all
this. We find written in Samuel IL,
7th chapter and beginning at the 18th
verse, these words:
"And when thy days be fulfilled
and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers,
will set up thy seed after thee,
which shall proceed out of the bowels,
and will establish they kingdom. He
shall build an house for my name,
and / will establish the throne of his
kingdom forever. I will be his father
and he shall be my son. In suffering
for iniquity I will chasten him with
the rod Of men (Which was grief and
the stripes due to the children of
Adam (which was death as Paul said
in Adam all die, and Christ was the
first to arise from the dead). But my
mercy shall not depart away from
him, as / took it from Saul whom I
put away before three. And thine
house and thy kingdom shall be es-
throne shall be established forever"
So it can be plainly seen that all
this is yet future, and it will be the
house of many mansions that was
promised by the Lord himself which
viii be situated at Jerusalem, the city
of the great king. Great king as. it
is so termed by the Lord himself and
recorded in Mat. 5:33, saying that
Jerusalem is to become the city of the
great king. Also the Psalmist has
written in regard to the city Of the
great king, saying, "Great is the Lord
and greatly to be praised in the city
of our God in the mountain of his
holiness. Beautiful for situation, the
joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion,
on the sides of the north, the city of
the great king"
! A king who will end all troubles
and all nations be blessed in him as
lit is recorded in the 72nd Psalm:
"Give the king thy judgments o God,
and thy righteousness unto the kings
son."
He shall Judge thy people with
righteousness and thy poor with
judgment.
He shall Judge the poor of the peo-
pie. he shall save the children of the
needy, and shall break in pieces the
oppressor.
He shall come down like rain upon
the mown grass: as showers that wa
ter the earth.
In his days shall the righteous
flourish; and abundance of peace so
long as the moon endureth.
He shall have dominion from sea to
sea, and from the river unto the ends
of the earth.
They that dwell in the wilderness
shall bow before him; and his en-
emies shall lick the dust.
| Inc kings O1 1dTSnlSn anu Oh the
isles shall bring presents; the kings
of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Yea, all kings shall fall down be-
fore him; all nations shall serve him.
For he shall deliver the needs when
he crieth; the poor also, and him that
hath no helper.
His name shall endure forever: his
name shall be continued as long as
the sun. And men shall be blessed in
him. All nations shall call him bless
ed.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
who only doeth wondrous things.
And blessed be his glorious name
forever, and let the whole earth be
filled with his glory. Amen and amen.
The prayers of David the son of
Jesse are ended"
Why did David say his prayers
were ended in regard to what is con-
tanned in this Psalm? Because in that
age the whole earth will be filled with
Gods glory; the kingdom will be one
that will not only bring peace on
