Psalms 132 to 135

Psalms 132: 17
There will I make the horn of David to bud.
The expectations of this prayer were never fulfilled through David’s descendants who were kings of Israel and Judah. Because the Israelites forsook the LORD. GOD destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 586 B.C. The longings of this prayer will be fulfilled only in JESUS CHRIST, the greatest Son of David, of whose kingdom there shall be no end.

OLD TESTAMENT

1 Kings 11: 34 – 12: 14

1 Kings 12: 1 – 15
The tribes complained not to Rehoboam of his father’s idolatry, and revolt from GOD.
That which was the greatest grievance, was none to them; so careless were they in matters of religion, if they might live at case, and pay no taxes. Factious spirits will never want something to complain of. And when we see the Scripture account of Solomon’s reign; the peace, wealth, and prosperity Israel then enjoyed; we cannot doubt but that their charges were false, or far beyond the truth. Rehoboam answered the people according to the counsel of the young men. Never was man more blinded by pride, and desire of arbitrary power, than which nothing is more fatal. GOD’s counsels were hereby fulfilled. He left Rehoboam to his own folly, and hid from his eyes the things which belonged to his peace, that the kingdom might be rent from him. GOD serves his own wise and righteous purposes by the imprudence’s and sins of men. Those that lose the kingdom of heaven, throw it away, as Rehoboam, by wilfulness and folly.
