DAVID

 From Judah the fourth son of Israel, comes the fourth King,

David. While I will be like the six who came before me, I will

be most like David. I remember sitting alone after the first

lesson from graduate school and thinking of the story about 

how David slew Goliath. At that time I didn't know who the

other six were or much about the story, just that I was in

over my head and that like David it is only because of God's

help, mercy and graces that great things will happen.

 Saul like the Church leaders of the 20th Century do not do His

will. Samuel told Saul after he disobeyed God by not completely

destroying the Amalekites; (1 Samuel 15.22-23)

           "Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and

             sacrifices, as in obedience to the voice of  the Lord?

             Surely, to obey is better than to sacrifice,

              and to heed than the fat of rams.

              For rebellion is no less a sin than divination,

              and stubbornness is like iniquity and idolatry.

               Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,

              He has also rejected you from  being king.

 Now like Saul the Pope and Bishops were given a command from the

living saint, Sr. Lucia, she was established by Jesus as His prophet

through the Fatima apparitions of His mother the Virgin Mary, and

the sign of the Miracle of the Sun on October 13,1917. The clergy

have been disobedient for more than half a century. As Jesus warned 

them if you follow the example of the King of France you will suffer

like him. Finally like Saul begged for mercy, and the King of France

begged for mercy, and soon you will, but like them, you are too LATE.

 Now from 1 Samuel chapter 16 verses 1-13;

               The Lord said to Samuel, How long will you grieve over Saul? 

                I have rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn 

                with oil and set out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, 

                for I have provided for Myself a king among his sons." Samuel

               said, "How can I go? If Saul hears of it, he will kill me." And the 

               Lord said, "Take a heifer with you, and say, I have come to 

               sacrifice to the Lord. Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show 

               you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for Me the one whom 

               I name to you." Samuel did what the Lord commanded, and came 

               to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, 

               and said, "Do you come peaceably?" He said, "Peaceably; I have 

               come to sacrifice to the Lord; sanctify yourselves and come with 

               me to the sacrifice." And he sanctified Jesse and his sons and 

               invited them to the sacrifice. When they came, he looked on Eliab 

               and thought , "Surely the Lord's anointed is now before the Lord." 

               But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or

               on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the 

               Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward

               appearance, but the lord looks on the heart." Then Jesse called 

               Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, "Neither 

               has the Lord chosen this one." Then Jesse made Shammah pass 

               by. And he said "Neither has the Lord chosen this one." Jesse 

               made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and Samuel said to 

               Jesse, "The Lord has not chosen any of these." Samuel said to

               Jesse, "Are all your sons here?" And he said, "There remains yet 

               the youngest, but he is keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to 

               Jesse, "Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes 

               here." He sent and brought him in . Now he was ruddy, and had 

               beautiful eyes, and was handsome. The Lord said, "Rise and anoint 

               him; for he is the one." Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and 

               anointed him in the presence of his brothers; and the spirit of the 

               Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward.

 Now it is written in the "Little Book" in Quatrain 6.13 that "A Pope

will not want him to reign.", then in Q 4.86 the "king will be 

received and anointed at Reims and Aix." Now this ties in with David

as he was an anointed king, also Reims is where Joan of Arc took

Charles to be anointed, Charles the 7th, I am also the seventh. As

David was anointed before his brothers, our Lord Jesus Christ will

force His Church to anoint His second son. Then from Q 4.77 "kingdoms

united by the Christian king of the world."

 Saul was troubled by an evil spirit and he sent messengers

to Jesse to send David to play the harp when Saul was troubled.

So David went and became his armor bearer and played the harp 

for Saul to refresh him when he was troubled.

 Then a giant of a man in stature, Goliath the Philistine, had

threatened the men of Israel and all were afraid. David had 

gone home to tend the sheep when his father sent him with food

for his brothers, where he heard the Philistine threaten the

Israelites and curse God. Then David said to Saul that he would 

go and fight the Philistine, but Saul said he was to young. Then 

David told him about the lion and the bear which he had killed. 

So Saul gave him some armor which David rejected and he went to 

the river and picked up 5 smooth stones, and placed them in his

shepherds bag and with his sling he went to meet the Philistine.

 Goliath mocked David and cursed him by all his gods and said

he would make him food for the wild animals. But David said

that the God of Israel would deliver him into his hand, and that

he would cut of his head. Then as Goliath drew near to do battle,

David put a stone in his sling and hit Goliath in the forehead,

and knocked him out. He then went and took Goliath's own sword,

and cut his head off.

 David's name grew in the eyes of the people and Saul became

very jealous, and wanted him dead, but the Lord was with David

and protected him from all his enemies. While Saul was trying

to kill David, on more than one occasion did David spare the 

life of Saul. David always was protecting his people and his

King from their enemies, but jealousy raged in Saul's heart

until finally when a battle with the Philistines was going 

bad, Saul killed himself.

 Then David set about to unite all the tribes of Israel, and to

eventually make Jerusalem his capital. Where his son would

build a house for the Lord of Hosts, and a place where the Arc

of the Covenant would rest and be worshiped by His people.

 David made a mistake when he numbered the people after not

heeding the words of Joab. David was forced to choose between

seven years of famine, or for three months he would flee from his

enemies, or that there be pestilence in the land for three days.

He chose three days of pestilence, and seventy thousand died.

Unfortunately this appears to be part of my destiny and as I

wrote the quatrain that speaks of this I felt his spirit, as the 

tears rolled down my face. I have no doubt that I can make a

mistake, as I've made many in my life, and can only try to make as

few as possible in the time I have left.

 Just before leaving Seattle I completely rebuilt a Thunderbird

(a 26' sailboat) for a trip to Alaska. The trip is a long story,

but on it during a gale was when I felt David's spirit the 

strongest as his hand reached out and held my anchor. I was in

a small cove called Whitestone Harbor when a big gale blew in,

and as I was motoring for a more sheltered spot, the motor died. 

Before I went aground I tossed my little anchor in to stop the

boat before it hit the rocks. I was told the hand of David 

was holding the anchor and that I would be fine, if I just read 

the Bible and fasted for two days. My response was that I would 

fast for four days if they would spare my boat. But I cried and 

said, you lie though, so how do I know you will keep your word. So 

I gathered all my stuff by the door, in case I had to get out 

fast and tried to get comfortable and continued reading the Old 

Testament. It was at the time of the month (full moon) of the big

tides with twenty foot swings in the elevation of the sea. The wind 

was howling so bad that the whole boat would shutter and shake

violently, for two days the storm blew, and I was very afraid. 

The boat would lurch violently and jerk the anchor line, so that I

couldn't believe that it would hold. There is more to this story

but that will have to wait.

 Through Solomon is my blood tie to David. As David united all 

the tribes of Israel that is my task to help unite all the tribes

on earth. Help is the correct word like I've stated before

YOU have the biggest part.
