发帖数: 3781 | 1 God also made promises to David's Son Solomon (vs. 12-15 - "thy seed after t
hee"). God would give to David's seed (Solomon) a kingdom to rule over (esta
blish his kingdom - vs. 12b), and allow Solomon to build the temple (vs. 13
- "He shall build an house"). Furthermore, the Lord promises to establish "t
he throne of his kingdom forever" (vs. 13). The legal right to a ruling thro
ne and eternal kingdom was promised to David's Son - Solomon. God promised t
o establish the national throne of Solomon's kingdom forever. This presuppos
es or assumes that there would always be a male heir in Israel ready to rule
in Solomon's place that has a legal right to rule through Solomon and event
ually fulfill the throne and kingdom promise that was given to him. A king w
ould always be available to sit on the throne (see 1 Chr. 22:6-10). It also
certainly is teaching that one day a ruler would arise that would rule over
Solomon's kingdom forever. God would always have a man ready for the throne
of Solomon. God pledged that Solomon's kingdom would never pass away permane
ntly, even though it might not function at all times. It is a fact of histor
y that Solomon's kingdom has not functioned at all times since God made this
promise, but this divine pledge was a guarantee that his kingdom would alwa
ys have the potential of being restored to full function and that someday an
other Kind in Solomon's line would take over his throne and rule forever in
a kingdom.
Someday another person in Solomon's line is going to reign on the throne of
Solomon and He will be a King who will "stablish the throne of his kingdom f
orever" (vs. 13b). This coming King is a greater than Solomon (see Matt. 12:
42) and his name is Jesus Christ who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
The ultimate fulfillment of this promise will take place when Jesus returns
to earth and when He rules in Solomon's place and establishes a kingdom (th
e Millennium). This will be fulfilled in the Millennium or the 1.000 year re
ign of Christ. This man will rule over his own kingdom (Christ's earthly kin
gdom) forever and forever! Note: The millennial earthly kingdom of 1,000 yea
rs (Rev. 20) is the time when the Son establishes authority over planet eart
h (see 1 Cor. 15:24). It's the first phase of the eternal kingdom that was p
romised to Solomon. But this kingdom will turn into an eternal kingdom on ea
rth that will last forever (the eternal state). How wonderful and glorious i
t is.
The point is this. There will be an heir of David who will rule a kingdom th
at will be established forever. The legal right to rule a throne and kingdom
forever comes through Solomon's line. Ultimately this finds fulfillment in
the Messiah who will rule forever over the eternal kingdom (see Psalm 45:1-6
).
A final promise given by God to Solomon was that He would oversee Solomon as
a father would oversee his child and bring necessary chastening, discipline
, and mercy upon Solomon (2 Sam. 7:14-15). These are good quality traits for
all of us as fathers to possess as we seek to raise our children. Our child
ren need chastening, discipline, and the demonstration of mercy and love (ba
lance!). If you want to be a true father then get fathering God's way! | R*o

Promises to David
The promises of that are most important to this study are the ones concernin
g David.
There are three major promises that make up the Davidic Covenant.
1. An eternal seed (vs. 16) - a seed forever (a physical people that can bri
ng forth the kings - word "house") thine house shall be established forever
There is a present promise (Israel will always exist as a people) and a prop
hetic promise (Israel as God's people will rule with Him eternally or foreve
r in a kingdom). | R*o
