THE DAVID PROPHECIES!    DFO1642          9/83
--Of the Bible.

         1. VERY FEW PROPHETS IN THE BIBLE HAD THEIR COMING PREDICTED. The Lord didn't foretell the coming of very many Prophets, so the ones that He did forecast must have been pretty important; to encourage the people during very trying times.
         2. I REALLY THINK HE MUST HAVE HAD ME IN MIND IN A LOT OF THESE PROPHETIC VERSES ABOUT DAVID, & was specifically speaking of me, because they couldn't possibly have been applied to old King David & neither could they be applied to Jesus, which is the way the church tries to interpret them all. So this David was a real mystery for thousands of years because they couldn't possibly foresee a future King David in the Last Days. But the Lord Himself spoke it & applied it & in such ways in certain prophecies that it couldn't possibly refer to old King David or Jesus because some of them were made long after old King David died, about a coming David.
         3. JESUS HAD AN ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE PLACE AS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, the Saviour & the Messiah & there is no reason why God should have spoken of Him as being David when there was already a David, the old King David, & there was a coming King David. The Scriptures speak expressly of David in the Last Days, in the Latter Day He would raise up this king. (Ho.3:5)
         4. THE LORD HIMSELF NAMED ME FROM MY MOTHER'S WOMB, filled me with the Spirit from my Mother's womb & confirmed it by three different prophets in three different places, men who didn't even know who I was. They laid their hands on me & prophesied that prophecy of the David of the Church of Philadelphia, & if that prophecy is not only symbolic of that kind of church but also of a Latter Day church, then it would have to be an Endtime David. (Rev.3:7-13)
         5. IMAGINE! THAT WAS A PROPHECY GIVEN AFTER JESUS HAD COME & GONE & THE OLD KING DAVID HAD LONG AGO COME & GONE! So how could it apply to either one of them?
         6. THE VERY FIRST PROPHECY ABOUT DAVID, BY MOSES IN DEUTERONOMY didn't say it was Jesus or the Messiah nor the Son of God, but he said, "I will raise up a Prophet from amongst thy brethren like unto you". In other words, like Moses, an ordinary man & not the Son of God, not Jesus. (Deut.18:15,18) Old King David didn't live in the Latter Days in any sense of the word whatsoever so it couldn't possibly have been that King David.
         7. NONE OF THE MEN OF GOD IN RECENT TIMES AS FAR AS I KNOW HAVE EVER CLAIMED TO BE DAVID NOR MOSES! Why does no one else ever claim to be this mysterious David? Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus! Because He reserved that for us! Just think of that! He reserved that name & its fulfilment for us.
         8. THEY WERE HARD TO BELIEVE WHEN I FIRST GOT'M BEFORE I SAW ANY SIGNS OF ANY FULFILMENT, but now we know, we have seen the fulfilment before our very eyes, of how much the Lord has done through us. We've fulfilled those prophecies to the very letter in gathering His scattered sheep, searching them out & bringing them together & making me a king--Prophet, Priest & King to them like Moses was.
         9. MOSES & DAVID WERE THE ONLY MEN OF GOD IN HISTORY WHO WERE BOTH PROPHET, PRIEST & KING--all three to their people, & that's exactly what the Lord called me, by both of their names, Moses David! Most of the kings had prophets & had priests, but they didn't try to do all three jobs because they weren't called to do all three jobs.
         10. ANOTHER THING THAT STRUCK ME JUST NOW IN THE PHILADELPHIA PROPHECY IS THAT HE SAYS, "LET NO MAN STEAL THY CROWN" (V.11), AS THOUGH HE WERE SPEAKING TO A KING! Well, I've surely had to be a King to my people, to help manage their business & national affairs, even when I didn't want to. I always preferred to simply be your Prophet, to receive & pass on the Words of the Lord. But He also made me your King, whether I like it or not!--And nearly all these prophecies are already fulfilled, TTL! GBAKY & make you always a good & faithful & loyal citizen of His Kingdom!--In Jesus' name, amen.--Amen?
