Mike you are so right. I figure I know this stuff and dive right in; however, I often end up somewhere else. Not intentionally misleading anyone so I try to stay away from the subject of the Son of David / Davidic King. I hope everyone knows that my analysis may be flawed. Actually, my analysis should be considered flawed from the very beginning. I have worked on verses for days and days deriving multiple conclusions only to throw it all away and start over again. So you are exactly right and I will tone it down. I remember a friend several years ago and those close to her knew not to ask about where her 1st son was. He was with his dad in Oklahoma and here came the tears and everything. So we avoided getting her started on that subject. Then when someone who was not acquainted with the subject ask her, we would softly comment "Oh no" because we knew what was coming. For me the "Oh no" subject is the Davidic King.

I am reading through the Bible this year. Actually trying to do it twice and just read 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Chronicles, some of 1 Kings in Psalms now. I have a fresh mind on David and his life was amazing. He is a type of Christ and in my view also a great example of what we should be. David messed up A LOT but he was a man after God's own heart. When he sinned he paid the penalty for his sin. Again a great example.
BORA - you are welcome to share your thoughts here all the time. Don't feel that you shouldn't. You could be onto something that with someone else's input brings revelation. We are brothers & sisters here and need one another.

Sorry I have been gone for a while. I want to address your questions about Jesus the Son of David. Jesus’ linage, May I add is a very important element in Jewish culture. He was descended from David in the Kingly line through Joseph. Jesus was also descendant of David in the “Priesthood through His Mother Mary. So in a sense, He was in fact a “Son of David” on both accounts. But because He was and is God, King David would also address Him as Lord.

He was descended from David in the Kingly line through Joseph. Jesus was also descendant of David in the “Priesthood through His Mother Mary. So in a sense, He was in fact a “Son of David” on both accounts. But because He was and is God, King David would also address Him as Lord. In Jewish culture there were numerous individuals who descended from King David. So many in fact that the village of Nazareth was named in recognition of is descendants that were from the shoot of the family tree of Jesse who was the father of king David. The shoot was a netzer meaning it was far from the trunk of the tree. So there were perhaps several hundred if not thousands Sons of David living at the time of Lord Jesus. However, the title "Son of David" pertains to one specific warrior king that the Jews were looking for that would free them from the yoke of bondage. Thus it goes in the land of Israel that the Jews are to this day still looking for their warrior king meaning that they are not looking for Lord Jesus as are the Christians. So let's say that Lord Jesus is this warrior king then Psalms 110:1 must read "The Lord (The Son of David) said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." It baits the question, Who is David's Lord? David's Lord is the Christ. Therefore, Psalms 110:1 must read "The Lord (The Son of David) said unto my Lord (The Christ), Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. I have tried to explain this so many different ways and I am evidently the only one who can see it. So tell me who is the Christ? It is Lord Jesus. Therefore, Lord Jesus is not the Son of David. That is, the Jews were and are looking for the Son of David and they did and are going to get Lord Jesus the Christ. In addition to that they did and will get the Davidic King John the beloved. He wrote the book (BoR) and will carry out his duties as the Son of David upon the return of the Savior. Sorry about all of this Natalie but I had to respond.
