837 Words4 Pages

A Throne for All Ages The biblical covenants that God makes displayed in Piper’s Article, all of which fulfilled by Jesus, invite mankind to the Kingdom of the Father. Throughout the Bible, these covenants are made between God and people like Abraham, Moses, and Noah.

Isaiah sees this son of David, a “Prince of Peace” who establish and uphold the kingdom with justice and righteousness. The covenant is fulfilled when Gabriel announces the conception of Jesus in Mary, who is to be the King of David’s kingdom, David and his descendants’s strong faith in God result in God doing His job and establishing that kingdom through His …show more content…

God does invite all of us to be a part of his Kingdom and to live under his Son, the King of Kings. God knows His Kingdom is a great one filled with joy and righteousness, He encourages all to join and find the try good that He has to offer for us. God wants to do nothing but give love to us, which I see to be very obvious in how welcoming He is towards man. God’s job description is a fair one, simply hold up you’re end of the deal and He will fulfill all that He promised to.

    Isaiah 39 is a narrative where Hezekiah trusts Babylon rather than God. This is an interesting chapter because it immediately follows a prayer by the king where he gives thanks to God for healing him of his illness and he recognizes that his sin was a divine punishment that required repentance (Chisholm 91). This contrast stands out to the reader because chapter 39 is an example of Hezekiah’s failure to trust God.
