This „theology” fundamentally impinged on the establishment of the concept and the character of „royal paternity” having previously determined the relations between the king himself and the supernatural world. According to biblical sources, at the time when Israel was a monarchy, it is possible to state that there was a specific awareness of the role of the king that consisted in stipulating the covenant between the nation and God. This demanding and charismatic model has been embodied and realised not until the moment when Messiah – the King who perfectly revealed God’s fatherhood.plCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychfatherfatherhoodkingmonarchykingdomrole of the king in IsraelIsraelGod’s fatherhoodGodsocietyantiquityMiddle Eastancient Middle Eastojciecojcostwokrólmonarchiakrólestworola króla w IzraeluIzraelojcostwo BogaBógspołeczeństwostarożytnośćBliski Wschódstarożytny Bliski WschódArticle
