What I write here is inspired by Pastor Steven Kirk. This THREAD that runs throughout Scripture is the message of The Plan of God.  

2 Samual 7 is the proclamation of everything that God has not only planned before hand concerning His Kingdom and His Son, but has explained it in that chapter to David as part of His covenant with David. 

 It portrays that which had been promised to Abraham and now begins God’s fulfillment through David of that plan, and prophetic Scripture expresses what is sited in 2 Samuel 7. 

My coming to understand and to love the prophetic word as it comes to us from Gods own speaking; has been the biggest blessing of my new birth.  Not that it means more to me than Jesus my savior, but that it brings to me total understanding of God’s eternal plan before it ever happened, to us His people. 

Pastor Kirk explains the connection of prophesied words scattered throughout the Scriptures.  The prophetic is given long before it is fulfilled. It is given within the pages of the old covenant Scriptures and it is explained to us within the pages of what we know as the new covenant or New Testament Scriptures. 

Israel considers the promise made here in 2 Samuel 7 to them concerning an eternal king to reign upon the throne of David forever; as being a messianic Promise.  

This promises a reality which has had its beginnings with two insignificant people both in the lineage of David.  Mary and Joseph, the mother and father of the son of David, who also is the eternal Son of God.  

Jesus fulfilled God’s promises in 2 Samuel 7, as well as His promise made to Abraham; He came as a son of David to reveal to us the eternal Son of God.  And He will forever occupy the throne of David over both Jew and Gentile placed within His bride.  

Micah 5:2  You, Bethlehem Ephrathah, are too small to be included among Judah’s cities. Yet, from you Israel’s future ruler will come for me. His origins go back to the distant past, to days long ago. (GOD’S WORD)

What else can this mean other than the fact that He is this Son of God promised in 2 Samual to rule on the throne of David forever.  

2 Samuel 7:13  He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. (GOD’S WORD)

This verse though it reveals what Solomon did in building the temple, makes clear that it is God who established David’s throne forever.  That forever feat is accomplished by God’s Son.  

What is interesting to me about prophetic Scripture is what it reveals when we consider the different prophecies.  Prophecy of course is misunderstood by some teachers, simply because they don’t agree.  There are those who destroy the entire nation of Israel because of the failure of most of her people. 

Listen:

“The truly everlasting covenant would be the New Covenant in Christ (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 37:26-27; Hebrews 12:28; 13:20).

But wait. What about 1948? Doesn’t that prove the Jews were in God’s favor forever? Well, a nineteen-hundred-year gap is not exactly forever.”

The article from which this quote is taken gives a flavor of how Israel is perceived today by many Church scholars.  This article represents replacement theology (a theology where the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan).  This completely overlooks Zachariah 13 and the purging of this nation (Israel) before Jesus returns. It overlooks 2 Samuel 7, where God’s Son (Jesus) is to be the eternal fulfillment of God’s covenant with David as a king on David’s throne.  So, yes Jesus brought in Israel’s promised new covenant.  He began His Church by providing Old Covenant Israel in paradise, with their promised new covenant (as promised in Jer. 31:30 and beyond). He delivered Israel’s faithful dead into God’s presence when He assended. He has assumed David’s throne forever.  All of mankind has been offered salvation through Israel’s messiah and king.  No one will be saved in any other way.  

But the Church has not replaced Israel, the Church has provided Jews and Gentiles entrance into Israel’s commonwealth through Israel’s Messiah. He is the King promised to be seated on king David of Israel’s throne forever. He is therefore the Head of His New Covenant Church as This forever King. 

Just as Replacement Theology had gotten it wrong, so too has Dispensational theology gotten it wrong.  For neither are there remaining two covenantal peoples.  There is only one new man, living under one new covenant, which has made the old covenant obsolete, but which has fulfilled (and not obsoleted) the Davidic Covenant.  There is only one Savior and one King, and one Lord over all.  He is Jesus the Messiah of Israel and Founder of the New Covenant. 

If you wish to enter into eternal life with the Father in Heaven; then you must come through Jesus.  He is the way the truth and the life provided for your and my salvation.
