God And His Word - A Question And Answer Approach To Understanding The Bible

B. "AND I WILL APPOINT A PLACE FOR MY PEOPLE ISRAEL, AND WILL PLANT THEM, THAT THEY MAY DWELL IN THEIR OWN PLACE, AND BE MOVED NO MORE." 2 Samuel 7:10; 1 Chronicles 17:9; Jeremiah 23:5, 6. Revelation 3:7 shows Christ with power to admit or shut out individuals from the City of David, the New Jerusalem, the Messianic Kingdom. Isaiah 22:22. C. ISRAEL WOULD NO LONGER BE WASTED BY ENEMIES, AND GOD SAYS, "I WILL SUBDUE ALL THINE ENEMIES." 2 Samuel 7:10, 11; 1 Chronicles 17:9; Luke 1: 71; Revelation 5:5; 22:5. It is the "Root of David" who prevails! D. "THE LORD WILL BUILD THEE AN HOUSE." 2 Samuel 7:11; 1 Chronicles 17:10; Luke 1:69. E. THE SEED OF DAVID WOULD BUILD AN HOUSE FOR GOD'S NAME, AND "I WILL ESTABLISH THE THRONE OF HIS KINGDOM FOR EVER." 2 Samuel 7:12, 13; 1 Chronicles 17:12; Psalms 132:11; Luke 1:32; Acts 2:30; 2 Timothy 2:8; Hebrews 1:8; The throne is established by resurrection power! F. "I WILL BE HIS FATHER AND HE SHALL BE MY SON: AND I WILL NOT TAKE MY MERCY AWAY FROM HIM." 2 Samuel 7:14, 15; 1 Chronicles 17:13; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; Micah 5:2; Luke 1:30-35; 72, Hebrews 1:5; Acts 13:34; Hebrews 2:14, 18. G. "THE SEED TO BE SETTLED IN THE HOUSE, THE KINGDOM AND THE THRONE FOREVER." 2 Samuel 7:16; 1 Chronicles 17:14; Isaiah 9:7; Psalms 89:29, 36, 37; 45:6; Luke 1:33; Hebrews 3:6; 8:1, 2. 7. DAVID'S TABERNACLE (OR, HOUSE) FINDS FULFILLMENT IN CHRIST'S CHURCH. Link Acts 15:15-17 with Amos 9:11, 12. The Apostle James used a peculiar Scripture to verify that God was really accepting the converted heathen Gentiles into the Church. The Holy Ghost confirmed this as the truth (15:28). David's House of Praise is restored in the Church and David's Throne is the Heavenly Throne of Christ.
