The Davidic Throne
“He shall build a house for My mane,
and I will establish the throne of
His kingdom forever.”
2 Samuel 7:13
At the second coming of Christ, David will rise from the
dead and reign with Christ as a prince over the house of Israel, serving
His people like a shepherd caring for its sheep.
Psalm 89 links the second coming of Christ and His reign
with the fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant. The psalm states that in spite of
the sins of Israel,
David’s posterity will be established on the throne forever. This should give
us hope. David failed tremendously before God, committing vile sins, yet the
Lord forgave his repentant confession and promised him a glorious future. The
same holds true for us. Though we may fail miserably, God will hear our
repentant confession and give us a great future as well.
Thought for the Day:
“I have made a
covenant with my chosen, I have sworn to my servant David: ‘Your seed I will
establish forever, and build up you throne to all generations.’”
--Psalm 89:3-4
