Pretenders to David's Throne as Types of Satan & Christ Sundry comings OPA9/17

Perhaps the end of David's life offers insight into the


timing of Christ gathering of the elect unto himself. The
2 victory's of Christ over Satan are clear in scripture.
The final victory comes with defeat of Gog/Magog after
end of the millennia, when Satan is cast eternally into
the lake of fire. The prior triumph of Christ over the
devil is at end of tribulation when the devil and his
angels are put into a pit for 1,000 years. These events
are typed in Adonijah's attempted usurp of Solomon
throne as outlined below. The "gathering" is typed in
the going out to meet David at Gilgal, at end of
Absalom's rebellion. Jesus stated the day of the 'going
out' is known only to The Father. We are commanded
to "watch for that day." So some hints may be found in

'The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make

Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!
... The LORD has sworn and will not relent, "You are a priest
forever according to the order of Melchizedek." Ps110:1-4.
There Jesus points out that David could be taken as a type or
figure of God the Father. Since Christ Jesus was also a son of
David by his mother side, Solomon becomes a type of the
Christ in that instance. For Solomon is discussed only in the
latter part of David's life, just as the Christ was not revealed
until the last days of God's dealing with men.
