The disciple whom Yahushua loved was John – Nathan. David and Jonathan story opens with 1 Samuel 18 vs 1 as it is written Jonathan became one spirit with David and loved him as himself some translation say as his own soul. (Ye shall love hashem thy Yahweh with all thy heart and soul and mind; and love thy neighbor as thy self – 2 commandment from Yahushua).
We begin with Jonathan telling David “Whatever you want me to do, I will do for you.” Jesus said if you ask anything in my name, I will do them. John 14:13-14. Jonathan is a friend like Jesus. He loves you at all times, sticks closer than a brother (1 Samuel 20 vs 42)
Show David who was puzzled about King Saul, Jonathan’s father quest to kill him. Don’t we all have a King Saul in our lives, sorry don’t we all need a Jonathan in our lives. Jonathan encouraged David saying you shall not die (Psalm 118:17). Jonathan further said my father doesn’t do anything without letting me know. However, it seems David knew the mind Saul had towards him. He said, ‘ Your father knows I have found favor in thy eyes!’ in verse 30, Saul told Jonathan, ‘Don’t you know I know that you have sided with the Son of Jesse.’
As the feast approached David asked Jonathan to give an excuse to Saul that he had gone to Bethlehem, David’s hometown because of the annual sacrifice being made. That if king Saul doesn’t lose his temper upon Davids’s request, then he intends no harm to David. Jonathan swore that if he had an inkling that Saul would harm him, he’d tell David. So, Jonathan hatched up a plan of sounding the arrows by the stone of Ezel to indicate that if the arrows were shot at target and he asked a boy to get it, David was safe. Else if, should the arrows go beyond target. David wasn’t safe. Thus, Jonathan took an oath with David. At the festival when Saul inquired of David and cursed Jonathan, because he defended David, leading him to be grieved (Ephesians 4: 30) because his father wanted to kill David; hence he did not eat. Jonathan shot the arrow beyond to tell David the truth as he had promised. This is what Jesus did for us, he came to save us from our sins by telling us the truth. In John 16:8 he says the advocate will come to us, to tell us of what is wrong (as Jonathan did, John the Baptist did). The holyspirit grieves when we sin (Ephesian 4: 30). Jonathan became sad for his father’s action. And yes, Jonathan died as Yeshua died but the covenant, he had with us as the one David had with Jonathan household remains. I Sam. 20: 14. is the same covenant Yeshua had with us to show kindness to us. In John 16:13 the spirit of truth comes to us and guides, the truth Jonathan told to guide David not to return. (is to glorify the king of kings, David as a shadow type of the King of Kings, as a servant David is US).
David got up to his south side and bowed before Jonathan three times (verse 41) his face to the ground. The kissed and wept. And Jonathan said to David, go in peace, hashem bears witness between me and you and my descendant forever. (John 8:18).
Takeaway:
The holyspirit reproves of what is sin and righteousness (and means together). I Samuel 20:1 ‘what is my crime? How have I wronged your father, David asked Jonathan, that he wants to kill me. The holyspirit reproves of what is wrong about sin and righteousness. Jonathan replied You are not going to die (Mediator between Father and son-in-law), spoke encouraging word to David (Comforter).
1 Samuel 20 vs 8 If I am guilty, then kill me yourself…. reproves of what is sin and righteousness, so you can know your stand in Christ.
I swear by Adonai of Israel that I will surely sound out my father by this time tomorrow. I Samuel 20 vs 12 (spirit of truth).
Even our ex-president is Jonathan, he is gentle too as >>>>>>
The holyspirit gives us peace — Go in peace Jonathan tells David (1 Samuel 13:42, Gives us peace when we aren’t guilty).
God with us (Emmanuel), I will not leave you alone; I will send you a comforter who reminds us of his promises – his word. May Adonai be with me as he has been with Yeshua (my father) 1 Samuel 20 vs 13.
Reaffirms his oath out of love for me, because he loved me as he loved himself (verse 16, Jonathan loved David as himself). Love the lord your God with all you heart (Jonathan loved David as his own soul).
As surely as Hashem lives, I am Safe and there is no danger. – I Samuel 20 vs 21. He guides us and keeps us in safety. Mercy Chinwo – Hollow (Official Video) – YouTube
The spirit of Yeshua bear witness within us, that we are the Son of Yahweh. Remember, hashem is a witness between you and me forever (1 Samuel 20:23, 42). If ever you want to be reminded what the spirit of Yahweh saith see the life of Jonathan and John the Baptist (bears witness).
Yahweh made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob fulfilled in Yeshua, David a man of covenant, had an oath with Jonathan, a covenant with Yahweh (not fail to put a descendant from his lineage on his seat), with Saul a promise (1 Samuel 24:20-21)
