Blown To Kingdom Come

Talkin’ with God about Kings and Kingdoms2Samuel 8What seems like an uneventful, maybe a bit dreary, text is actually a peak in the whole Biblical story so far. A thousand years before David, God promised a nation to Abraham’s children and here it is! This is the Kingdom of God and God’s promise fulfilled. Exciting stuff, but is this it? It can’t be, because God told David (2Sam 7:13) that a son of his would be the King of a forever kingdom and this is no forever kingdom. The forever kingdom will be inaugurated in another thousand years, without bloodshed except the Kings blood. This King and Kingdom will blow every other to KINGDOM COME. Your Kingdom come! Yay!
