KING DAVID
- A WARRIOR
(The Second Book of Samuel)
A lady, who was looking at the sculpture of king David, sayed in surprise:” But David was a yang shepherd, here I see a shaggy, severe warrior at his mature age. His face, pardon me, is like a lion's muzzle.”
-This is exactly what I intended to achieve. A lion gives burth to a lion. David had to give burth to the Messaia, who is as it's written the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
“...This is what the Lord Almighty says (to David) : I took you from the pasture and from following the flock to be ruler over my people Israel. I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the great men of the earth. And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning.”
“ And who is like your people Israel the one nation on the earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? You have established your people Israel as your very own forever, and you, O Lord, have become their God.”
(The Second Book of Samuel ch.5 v. 7,9,10,20, ch.7 v.23,24.) |
