In this final episode of the Truth-seeking series, we consider the weight of tradition on the search for truth. George Tabac of Chicago joins Owen in a discussion of his 1995 research paper, "The Three Anointings of David".  King David was anointed by the Prophet before he was king, then by his tribe's elders after Saul died and his reign began in Hebron;  then by the entire nation when he set up his throne in Jerusalem.  George shows how each of these anointings revealed the steps Jesus has been taking toward his destiny as King of Kings.

Though Jesus' kingdom was "not of this kozmos" or order of things at his first advent, he rebuked Satan at the beginning of his ministry and defeated him on the cross.
 
Psalm 2 describes the present time, as Jesus reigns among his brethren, the Christians who welcome him as king ... and it won't belong before the entire world anoints him as its monarch when his reign as Messiah is seen and recognized by all. 

The story of David's anointings also reveal the five giants Jesus must face -- Goliath before he becomes king, the Dragon, Beast, and Image of the Beast/False Prophet who deceive and exploit the world in the Book of Revelation, and finally Satan himself whose destruction is promised after the Millennium completes its work of educating and restoring Planet Earth and "ALL" the people who have ever lived .

These insights into history and prophecy serve as the backdrop, really, of the final episode of the "Truth-Seeking" series, and the first installment of a new "Faith of our Fathers and Mothers" series. To be successful in truth-seeking, we need to take a grown-up approach (1 Corinthians 10:15) which considers tradition and learns from the past, but does not fail to discern the mistakes and sins of previous generations. 

George Tabac, a "father of faith" for Owen throughout the last 50 years, shares the wisdom and joy of his search and service for Truth.
