"Pictures of The King" - Too

 "Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished." (Ecclesiastes 4:13 KJV)

  "May the king's rule be refreshing like spring rain on freshly cut grass, like the showers that water the earth. May all the godly flourish during his reign. May there be abundant prosperity until the moon is no more. May he reign from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth. Desert nomads will bow before him, his enemies will fall before him in the dust. The western kings of Tarshish and other distant lands will bring him tribute. The eastern kings of Sheba and Seda will bring him gifts. All kings will bow before him, and all nations will serve him. He will rescue the poor when they cry to him; he will help the oppressed, who have no one to defend them. He feels pity for the weak and needy, and he will rescue them. He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious to him." (PSALM 72:6-14 NLT)

 There are at least two Psalms that have been notably authored by Solomon, Psalm 72 and Psalm 127; it is this Psalm, 72, that is mostly all attributed to Jesus, based upon many of the details that can only be used to show His rule and reign! As stated yesterday, much of what was written by the authors of the Bible, especially those things that pertain to Jesus, were based upon visions and the Holy Spirit's prompting; not everything that was written was clearly understood.

 The whole point of much of what was written, obsolete or obscure as it might have been, was to show the whole world how impossible it could be for Jesus to have fulfilled so many of these prophecies. So many were acknowledged in the Gospel writings, saying, "So that it should be fulfilled," as so it was, just as it was written. 

 One of the ones I really like from Psalm 72, is the part about: "His enemies will fall before him in the dust." I don't remember it being said, "So that it should be fulfilled," but when Jesus said, "I AM," all of the those who came to arrest Him, hit the ground! I heard Pastor Jack make fun of this, as if to say that Jesus could have just kept repeating His statement, as they got up, He said it again, and down they went! Just a little Jack humor.

 By the way, Solomon was admonished by Jesus, but the Lillies of the field got the glory...

""You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life."" (John 5:39-40 NLT)
