Subject: A word confirmed? |
Bible Note: Hi Mommapbs, I think you are correct that the Word being confirmed is Christ. You might consider Isaiah 9:6, NKJ, "For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;...7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." The Scriptures are God's word, and I go with the NKJ instead of the NASB for this passage. But the kingdom of David in 2 Samuel 7:13 is "his" kingdom. The kingdom in 2 Chronicles 6:16 "shall not lack a man [sic] to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your sons take heed to their way, to walk in My law as you have walked before Me." The word to be confirmed in 2 Chronicles 6:17 and 7:18 is "You shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel". I appreciate your 1 Kings 8:27 and Acts 7:48 comparison. For my study I see within 1 Kings 8:25 and Act 7:55, 56 a perfect match. God did indeed dwell on the earth, and that is why we preach the word and proclaim Christ. Acts 8:4,5. Thanks, mommapbs.
