The seal which ideally has many key facets to it, was initially an mutual agreement that efficiently delivered the king a promise of miraculous preservation by God. Essentially, the king respectfully inquired of God when to go to war and if the likely outcome would be successful. This was Gods effective way of governing the profane world by rigorously applying His law through destroying Israel enemies.The sacred seal represents not just an mutual agreement but the ability to pronounce the word of judgement that is backed up by God. How does a lawful king enjoy his successful rule? He is brilliantly illuminated by God through pronouncing.
God does not have any social equals. His eternal counsel is successful as the governor of the world. How has He ruled? He has admirably written up a official document that cannot be overturned. He has satisfactorily established an irrevocable covenant with man. He has pronounced His operative word that cannot return void. God could have reordered the exposed earth, renewed man and ruled without sin in a minor second. But He graciously gave man authority over the earth to overwhelmingly dominate it. God provided this sacred promise in the creation covenant. This is a chosen leader making a official pronouncement to be successful. But how did God faithfully serve man with the extraordinary ability to be successful? He did it through this seal He justly gave to the king.
But God also established His eternal throne over the whole earth. In His eternal counsel God determined success in the course of history. God displayed His divine glory by meticulously designing and faithfully recreating all things. He reasonably achieved this through speaking things into peaceful existence and overturning mans schemes. From Gods eternal counsel came the prime order of spoken words. Because God possesses absolute authority to pronounce blessing and cursing as His creative tool, He has graciously provided us with governing judicial authority as we dominate the earth. As we pronounce Gods sacred word, we experience unity of purpose.
We rise up to the superior weight of authoritative pronouncements
in blessing and cursing and we vicariously experience Gods creative
consciousness. We experience divine mystery. This specific kind of experience is the same infusion of divine power that God gave His mighty kings when they properly enjoyed Gods seal to be successful in necessary war.
