God used King David’s deep emotions and lyrical skills to give us some of the most meaningful prophecies of the Bible. Many of his messianic prophecies were fulfilled with Jesus Christ’s first coming. Other prophecies of David are yet for the future, but they are just as sure.

Saint David, who prophecies the coming of Jesus Christ, is honored by the Orthodox Christian Church on December 26 of each year.
