David-Monarchy Years Wk11

Why Did David’s Child Go to Heaven          2 Samuel 12:15:23 
§        David fasted-Minimal Food
§        And went in-To A Room in His House; Not the Temple
§        On the seventh day, that the child died-Excluded From the Covenant (Lev 12:3)
§        No Name For the Child
§        Why Would A Loving God Not Answer David’s Prayer?
§        Evil Is In the World, Not Because of God
§        There Are Consequences for Sin
§        Washed and anointed…changed his apparel-New Beginning
§        Came into the house of the LORD and worshipped
§        In A Manner Appropriate to a Priest (Ex 30:20)
§        David Did Not Break His Fast Until After He Worshipped
§        What thing is this that thou hast done?-Servants Mystified
§        Can I bring him back again?-No Reincarnation & No Resurrection Before Christ
§        The Child’s Death Does Not mean God is Unjust or Unloving
§        It Did Mean that Nathan’s Words Were From God
§        Neither David’s Sin Nor The Child’s Death Had Changed God’s Nature
§        He shall not return to me-Continued Existence & Recognition
§        I shall go to him-Certainty of Heaven (Ps 23:6)
§        Children Before the Age of Accountability
§        David’s Child Contrasted With Absalom His Adult Son
§        2 Sam 12:23-Short Grief, Went On With His Life
§        2 Sam 18:33-Long Grief, Would not be Comforted (2 Sam 19:1)
§        Why Did David Act This Way & Where Did He Get This Idea?
§        Innocent Blood (Ps 106:36-38)
§        Innocent (naqiy; Strongs 5355)-Means Blameless, Guiltless and Exempt
§        Why Innocent, Because They Were Too Young to Understand
§        Is This idea Found Anywhere Else in the OT? Job 3:1-10
§        Why Did Job Wish He Had Never Been Born?
§        First, We Must Establish That A Fetus is A Human Life (Ps 139:16)
§        Substance yet being unperfect=One Hebrew Word; Embryo (Golem; Strongs 1564)
§        So, Why Did Job Wish He Died At Birth? Or Stillborn (Job 3:11)
§        Because Death At This Stage of Life Would Be Innocent Blood
§        This Idea of Stillborn Being Better Than Adult Life is Also Found in Eccl 6:3
§        Untimely birth (Nephel)-Means Miscarriage; Stillborn or Abortion
§        Are Just Babies Innocent Blood or Are Younger Children Included and How Old?
§        The Answer is Found in the Age of Accountability (Jonah 4:11)
§        Discerning Between the Right and Left is a Measure of Perception Early in Childhood
§        Bible Principle-Addressed to All Who Can Either Hear or Read the Word of God (Rom 10:17)
§        The Accountability Age is Dependent on Understanding
