THE PROPHECIES OF KING DAVID
FULFILLED BY KING JESUS...THE SON OF GOD
King David was born around 1000 BCE. At the age of 30 David was anointed to be the King of Israel (2 Samuel 5:1-5). David was also anointed by God to be a prophet.
Inspired by God, David foretold the coming of Jesus. He put in writing some of the events that would take place in the life of Jesus during the short time Jesus would be here on earth. David's prophecies about Jesus were written about one thousand years before Jesus was born.
In the Gospel of Luke, after Jesus had been raised from the dead, Jesus talked with His disciples about the things that had to be fulfilled that were written about Him.
As it is written:
Luke 24:44
And He said to them, these are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms concerning Me.
The following scriptures are prophecies that were written by King David in the Psalms, and fulfilled by King Jesus, the Son of God.
