Bible Question: I am trying to find the sign of the covenant for the Davidic covenant. I know for the Noahic covenant it was the rainbow and for the Abrahamic covenant it was circumcision. I believe for the new covenant it is the blood of Jesus. |
Bible Answer: The answer that I think you are looking for or the sign is the sun and the moon. David has prophetic as well as historic significance. When the kingdom of Israel had been firmly established, David yearned to build a suitable temple for the Lord. But David was not permitted to build that house. Instead, God spoke to David (2 Samuel 7:12-16) and promised to build David a house! That promise of a Davidic dynasty is understood in the Old Testament to have the force of a covenant: an unbreakable promise or commitment made by God. David was promised that after his death, a descendant of his would be established as ruler of a kingdom to be set up in God's name. God said, “I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever” (2 Samuel 7:13). David's line was promised the perpetual right to Israel's throne. Even though David's immediate descendant Solomon sinned in such terrible ways that he deserved to be set aside, the kings of Judah were always from the Davidic line. Because of David's faith, God did not treat his descendants as He had treated Saul's. Sin would be punished, but David's line would never be completely cut off. God's promise to David is recognized in the Old Testament and the New Testament as an amplification of the ancient Abrahamic Covenant. The Davidic Covenant explains the means through which the earlier promises to Abraham will be fulfilled! As Psalm 89:3-4 expresses it: You said, "I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant, "I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations' " And again this great prophetic psalm affirms the certainty of God's promise. I think the sign that you are looking for is in Psalm 89:34-37 Psalm 89:34-37 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. |
