Acts 13:36

Acts 13:36 
David’s Purpose in His Generation Was Fulfilled in His Life. His Purpose After His Life Is Fulfilled as a Contrast to the Risen King of Judah, the Messiah …

• Asleep (Dead Until Resurrection’s Awakening)
• Buried (with His Fathers– all the way back to Abraham, Symbolically)
• (Still) Entombed (Physically Decayed)

“For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed.” NIV

David Fulfilled God’s Purpose in Life and Served as a Significant Example, even in death
