The kingdom will not even happen if the descendants of David are unrighteous and rebellious towards God. The kingdom will be established and reign under a descendant of David, God promises that the thrown shall be established forever. Isaiah sees this son of David, a “Prince of Peace” who establish and uphold the kingdom with justice and righteousness. The covenant is fulfilled when Gabriel announces the conception of Jesus in Mary, who is to be the King of David’s kingdom, David and his descendants’s strong faith in God result in God doing His job and establishing that kingdom through His

In chapter one of Obey Hendricks ' book, The Politics of Jesus, he contends that the foundation of the bible shifted from personal deliverance founds in Genesis to collective deliverance detailed in Exodus (Hendricks p14.). What prompted the shift? How did it influence Jesus’ ministry and teachings? The answers can be found in the Hebrews’ exodus from Egypt, the years in the wilderness, and the Babylonian exile. In essence, Hendricks sketches the blueprint from which Jesus developed and exercised his political consciousness. As Hendricks contends, to appreciate Jesus ' ministries and teachings, one needs to consider the religious, social and partisan dynamics that shaped and molded Jesus Christ of Nazareth into a sociopolitical

Why did David Payne kill himself though, leaving behind a note that could be interpreted as guilty? Possibly he was expressing sorrow for getting her pregnant, which led her to the site of her death. It could have also been because – being a drunk – his mental condition was not stable enough to handle the death of his fiancé. He was, however, not present at the time of the murder, as the case file states, so does he have a strong alibi? No, but it can be argued that neither did any of the other suspects. It says he was absent at the time of murder but the time of murder was not stated in the information provided. This leaves a range from Sunday night to Tuesday night. During Monday, David was searching for Maggie with Albert. He could not have killed her then because of the company. During his interview, he was drunk, which would not have been wise of him because intoxication might allow for guilt to be slipped. Had he been clever enough to cause an unsolved murder, he would have thought of this too. The general cluelessness of David makes up for any lack of alibi.
