<p>2:25 <i>For David said concerning him</i>- David is one of the major OT types of the Lord Jesus. The words of David in Ps. 16 are quoted in Acts 2:25,29 concerning Jesus: &ldquo;I have set the Lord always before me... he is at my right hand... thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption&rdquo;. These are words describing David&rsquo;s feelings about his own death and resurrection; and yet so identified was he with the Messiah, that they are quoted as being directly true of Jesus. But Acts 2:29 also quotes these words with a slightly different spin- in that David saw the Lord <i>Jesus</i> always before him, and it was this sense that stabilized him. This could only have been true in that David understood all his feelings and present and future experiences e.g. resurrection, not being suffered to corrupt eternally as being typical of the Lord Jesus. He so understood himself as a type of the One to come that he saw this person as ever with him. This is the extent of the typology. 1 Chron. 17:17 in Young&rsquo;s Literal has David saying: &ldquo;Thou hast seen me as a type of the man on high&rdquo; i.e. Messiah. David describes himself at ease with clearly Messianic titles such as &lsquo;the Christ&rsquo;, &lsquo;the man raised on high&rsquo;, and then goes on to speak of the Messiah who <i>is to come</i> on the &ldquo;morning without clouds&rdquo;, admitting that &ldquo;verily <i>my</i> house is not so with God&rdquo; (2 Sam. 23:1-5). This is only really understandable if we accept that David consciously saw himself as a type of the future Messiah. The main reason why there is so much deep personal detail about David is because we are intended to come to know him as a person, to enter into his mind- so that we can have a clearer picture of the mind and personality of the Lord Jesus. This is why the thoughts of David, e.g. in Ps. 16:8-11, are quoted as being the very thoughts of Christ (Acts 2:27). So Christ-centred was David's mind that he &quot;<i>fore</i>saw (not &quot;saw&quot; - disproof of the pre-existence) the Lord (Jesus) always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved&quot; (Acts 2:25). David was obsessed, mentally dominated, by his imagination of Christ, so much so that his imagination of his future descendant gave him practical strength in the trials of daily life. Small wonder we are bidden know and enter into David's mind. Likewise the book of Genesis covers about 2000 years of history, but almost a quarter of the narrative concerns Joseph; surely because we are intended to enter into Joseph, and thereby into the mind of Christ.&nbsp;</p><p><i>I saw the Lord always before my face- </i>With David we should be able to say that we see the Lord the Lord Jesus ever before our face, so that we will not be moved by anything. However, we could also interpret the quotation as David solely talking about the future feelings of Jesus; the &quot;Lord&quot; in view would therefore be the Lord God.</p><p><i>For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved</i>- The Lord Jesus felt God was at his right hand; but He is now on the Father's right hand. We see here a mutuality between Father and Son.</p>
