Sun, 18 March 2007 David is Israel's greatest king prior to the coming of her Messiah. In fact, he is a "snapshot" of the coming King, Jesus Christ. During his reign Israel is secured as a nation and given peace from all her enemies. David desires to build the Lord a "house"--a temple--but God says instead that He will build for David an eternal lineage. In the Davidic Covenant God promises that there will always be a king reigning on David's throne. Ultimately, the covenant will be fulfilled in the coming and reign of Jesus Christ. Comments[0] |
