THE DAVIDIC COVENANT (2 SAMUEL 7:4–17)
1. A Davidic house (verse 13). That is, the posterity of David shall never be destroyed.
2. A Davidic throne (verse 13). The kingdom of David shall never be destroyed. At present, it is in abeyance, but it will be set up again. Since the captivity, only one king of the Davidic family has been crowned and He with thorns (Matthew 27:29), but He will receive the kingdom and return when Israel’s chastisement is over and the time comes to restore the kingdom to David’s son (Luke 1:30–33).
3. A Davidic kingdom. David’s son is to have an earthly sphere of rule. It will be over the millennial earth. “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth” (Psalm 72:8).
4. It shall be unending. “And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever” (2 Samuel 7:16).
