I would not worry much about the final end of the man, David. Rather I look at David as the type or shadow of or for you and me. Him and other rather than Jesus for Jesus never stumbled. Jesus never committed murder or adultery. Perhaps we have not either, but we certainly have sinned and come short of the glory of God [Rom 6:23]. This is why looking at David and other men of the OT who pleased God in some way are better types and shadows for us. Jesus is the ideal but how close is our history to His? To please God at all those types and shadows in the OT were perfect according to what God would call perfect. That is also what He expects of us and He has given all that is required to attain to it...which is not yet the whole story, right, David maybe wished he was dead before it was all over, but regardless this puts the below,
value to redeem others having died for sins he did not commit.
in quite a diff light huh? Who said that again, oh ya,
John 18:14 Lexicon: Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.
and did David just get a pass, or what? David didn't need Christ?
But we can find this anytime someone "admits" in the OT too i guess
Yes, Caiphas, the High Priest, was also a prophet of God, even though he was perhaps a chief or THE chief conspirator against Jesus.
Was he also a type of shadow of anyone we know about today?
