THE PROPHETIC AND ROYALTY

Luke 13,31-33:

On that very day some Pharisees came, saying to Him, “Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You.” And He said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’ Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.

Luke 7,15-17:

So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother. Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen up among us”; and, “God has visited His people.” And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and the entire surrounding region.

We can see from this verse that Yeshua was in the prophetic dimension when he prayed for the sick and cast out demons. We also see that he doesn't stop there, and that he aims much further: his goal is not prophecy, but kingship!

Luke 7,24b-26:

“What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings’ courts. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

There are two lifestyles: that of the prophet and that of the king.

1 Kings 18,41-42:

Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.” So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees.

There is a time for the Prophetic and a time for the Royal.

There is the time of the prophet and there is the time of the king.

The first announces the second, which is the goal of the first.

Each time has its own function.

He who suffers, let him pray; he who rejoices, let him sing.

Let the prophet pray with his head between his knees, and let the king prepare a royal feast.

Thus, the prayers of David the prophet come to an end, and the ministry of the singers is established, with the creation of musical instruments for joy, by David the king.

The prophetic is not the goal; kingship is the prophet's goal.

The prophet has his methods. The King also has his.
