"God’s DNA…From a King Comes the King!"  

DNA-it's the way we're made! It's a part of the way God made every living thing through the process of creation, but it took us until 1957 to understand the process whereby proteins are produced from nucleic DNA. In 1962 James Watson and Francis Crick won the Nobel Prize for their determination of the structure of DNA.
 

In the next four weeks we're going to look at God's DNA, the spiritual strands that connect generations from the beginning of time and into eternity. Remember the words from Jeremiah 33: "I will cause a righteous branch to spring forth." This righteous branch is David, but every branch has roots that grow from somewhere. The roots of this family tree are found in Abraham, the great father of the three major religions of the world. From the deep, great roots of Abraham springs a branch. His name was David. He was a king. He was the right person in the right place at the right time to continue the spiritual DNA that began with Abraham. And while he was the right person, he wasn't a perfect person. And while it was the right time, it wasn't a perfect time.

When Jeremiah spoke the prophetic words of Chapter 33 that were just read, God's people were in exile in Babylon. Jeremiah had called them to repent; they didn't. Jeremiah strongly urged them to return to God; but they wouldn't. So, in Babylon the people mourned their losses and wept because they'd been forcibly removed from what was, in Jewish thought, the only place where God lived. The people of Israel sang together and lamented in their hearts...
 

Psalm 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
2 There on the poplars
we hung our harps,
3 for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord
while in a foreign land?

​

It's called exile! And in the middle of the darkness comes a voice of hope from the prophet Jeremiah. The Message says it well in this very creative way...

 

"Watch for this; The time is coming" God's Decree-"when I will keep the promise I made to the families of Israel and Judah. When that time comes, I will make a fresh and true shoot sprout from the David-Tree. He will run this country honestly and fairly. He will set things right. That's when Judah will be secure and Jerusalem live in safety. The motto for the city will be, 'God Has Set Things Right for Us.'

 

God has made it clear that there will always be a descendant of David ruling the people of Israel and that there will always be Levitical priests on hand to.​..Worship Video HERE.
