~ Jesus Christ Is The Anointed Prophet
& Priest ~
The Bible is about Jesus Christ
~ “Jesus
said to them, ‘How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter His glory?’ And
beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said
in all the Scriptures concerning Himself” (Luke 24:25-27).
In First and Second Samuel we see glimpses or foreshadowings of
Jesus Christ as the prophesied Son of David, our Trusted Prophet, and the
Anointed One.
Specifically to Second Samuel we see the Anointed Prophet and
Priest, the true claimant to the Scepter of Judah, the heir to the Throne of
David, the Everlasting Kingdom and the Great Judge. “The adversaries of the Lord shall
be broken in pieces; from heaven He will thunder against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to His king, and exalt the horn of His
anointed” (1 Samuel 2:10).
additional comment:
Compare these passages from
Scripture. “But
now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord
has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander
over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you” (1 Samuel
13:14). “And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king,
to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will’” (Acts
13:22).
The Apostle
Paul told us the Scriptures present many shadows of things to come but the
reality is found in Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:17).
