2 | God's first kingdom promise to David | Gen 17:1 | HOTH | 230367 | ||
mharikai, The promise was first made to Abraham. Genesis 17: 6-7 “I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will come forth from you. I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.” And also to his wife Sarah and his son Isaac. Genesis 17: 19 “But God said, No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.” And then to Jacob. Genesis 36:11 “I am God Almighty; Be fruitful and multiply; A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, And kings shall come forth from you. This covenant consisted of two parts. One was that Abraham would be a father of many nations and the promise of a royal line of Kings. The first being the birthright and the latter being the promise of the Scepter. When Jacob was close to death, he blessed his sons. The birthright went to the sons of Joseph, but the promise of the Scepter went to Judah. Genesis 49:10 “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.” When the people of Israel decided to reject the Lord as their King and wanted a King like the other nations, Saul was chosen. However, Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin and not of the royal line of Judah. After Saul died, the Scepter covenant was confirmed to David in a message from God, delivered to David by Nathan the prophet. 2 Samuel 7: 12-16 “When your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; when he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men, but My loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.” Hope this answers your question, HOTH |
