Davidic

Bernstein's Davidic forewarning would fall on deaf ears.

The center of the score is the Davidic Psalm 23, "The Lord is my shepherd," with an entrancing melody for a soprano solo that glimpses heaven.

On the contrary, the prevailing thought was that a militaristic Davidic figure would emerge to throw off Roman rule and inaugurate what was known as “the kingdom of God,” an era of justice marked by the defeat of evil, a general resurrection of the dead and the restoration of Israel.

He seared that picture into our own imaginations with his cigars, fatigues and beard, the hours-long speeches slinging Davidic defiance at his imperialista Goliath, the U.S.

Noting that the Davidic covenant is hyperspecific to the Messiah, it is reasonable to see Jesus as a catalyst for an even wider group of people.
