Creation
God made a special part of that creation,
Humanity.

Humanity was to
rule
creation, under God.
This involved
taking care
of creation.
God chose a special part of humanity, Israel
Israel is represented by its fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Israel was to rule humanity (and therefore creation), under God.
This involved rescuing humanity from its rebellion and restoring it to God.
Humanity
Adam
God chose a King from Israel
The original King was David
The King was was to rule Israel (and therefore all humanity and creation), under God.
This involved rescuing Israel from opposition.
But one king came, Jesus,
From the dynasty of David
From the nation of Israel
Born as a human
He died on a cross,
taking the punishment we deserve,
rescuing Israel and all of humanity from its rebellion against God.
Israel
Isaac/Jacob
Abraham/
BUT Humanity rebelled against God.
We sinned.
God punished us by death
and all of creation suffered.
When this task is complete, he will return.
He will renew creation, which he will rule over with his people
And he will judge those who do not belong to him.
Kings
David
God’s plan from before the beginning of time was
To glorify his Son,
Jesus Christ
God made the universe.
“The heavens and the earth” or
“Creation”
He calls Israelites (Jews) to follow him
and Gentiles (non-Jews) to follow him.
The Kings (and all Israel) rebelled against God.
God punished them and sent them into exile.
And he therefore rose from the dead to rule Israel and all of humanity

Ruling and rescuing a whole new people for himself
But Israel rebelled against God.
