* David executes judgment and justice as king.


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

II Samuel 8:1-18
   And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.

David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.  And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.

And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
(22,000 men killed)
 

Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts.  

And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.

And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.  And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.

When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,  Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:  Which also king David did dedicate unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;  Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
  (18,000 men slain)


And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. 

And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.

And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.

And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;  And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.

Amos 5:15   Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate:

In the New Testament church, the apostle and the prophets deal with judgment continually.

The apostles establish church doctrine, as we see in Acts 15.

The believing Jews wanted to require the believing Gentiles to be circumcised.

The apostles and elders came together to discuss the situation and to make a ruling over the doctrine.

Acts 15:7-20    And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 


But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

New Testament apostles today rule over church doctrine:

You see me constantly giving NT Bible rulings over divorce and remarriage, homosexuals, drunkards in the church, and such.

The churches today have brought in doctrines opposite to New Testament Bible in these issue, saying that men and women may divorce and remarry without penalty for God loves them and wants them to be happy.

This is not what the scriptures in the New Testament Bible teach.

Therefore I am constantly speaking the scriptures on these matters.  Scriptures such as:

I Corinthians 7:10-11    And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

And Jesus says:  Matthew 5:32  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

*  If a faithful wife who has been divorced by her husband remarries, she commits adultery.

*  Her husband who divorced her, as a faithful wife, will be the cause of her adultery, nevertheless she does commit adultery upon remarriage.

* The man who marries the woman who is divorced commits adultery.

(These things are omitted from the church doctrines today as they approve various forms of divorce and remarriage in their churches.  And the church people sit there approving the rebellion in the churches against the doctrines of Christ for the New Testament church.)

NT apostles will not approve such things in the churches today.

And some churches today even accept practicing homosexual and lesbians into the congregation, and some even into their ministries.

NT apostles will present the following doctrines:

Romans 1:26-27   For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

The New Testament prophets are shown evil in the church by God and prophets continually bring correction that the people can repent by the Holy Spirit.

Many years ago, I was speaking at a church in San Angelo, Texas.  The pastor called for those who wanted prayer to come forth.  A lined formed and pastor asked me to go to the people in this line and to attend to them.

I went up to one woman and I said, "And what do you want from God?"  She replied, "I just want more of God."  I said to this woman, "God will tell me what you are doing."  She waved both of her hands in the air and screamed in a loud voice, "Oh, no Lord!  Don't tell her!"

This brought the house down.

So many church people try to hide in the church.

Matthew 10:26    Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

When I attended Word of Faith church, the teacher of our Bible class was committing fornication at the time he was teaching our class at church.

At that time, I owned a small business in a strip type mall.  A few doors down from me was a coffee shop where they sold coffee beans.  I frequently bought my coffee beans from that shop.

One day the owner of the shop and I began talking.  The name of the man who taught our Bible class surfaced and this woman began telling me about him.  She said this man was a terrible influence on her boy friend.  She then mentioned this man's "girlfriend."  None of us knew about this girlfriend.  I went to this man and asked him about this "girlfriend."  He began evading the issue.  Then I point blank said to him, "Are you having sex with this woman."  He replied, "Of course."  I then said to him, "You  know the Bible as well as I do.  I can no longer associate with you."  He agreed.  He didn't care.


I Corinthians 5:11-13   But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.  For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? (we do not judge them without the church) do not ye judge them that are within? (we are to judge them within the church)

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

At the end of this world, the wrath of God comes because of the wickedness of man, just as the wrath of God judged the wickedness of Sodom in the day of Lot.

Luke 17:26-30   And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

II Corinthians 5:10-11   For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
