2 Samuel

Book: 2 Samuel

Aug 21

Thus, it is in this phase of equipping that the books of 1 and 2 Samuel reside. God is moving from the conquering of the land to the establishment of His promised King on the throne. Following the introduction of the Judges to conquer the land, the Books of 1 and 2 Samuel show God moving to put the final part into His equipping of Israel – the Davidic King. It would be this King who would rule righteously and establish the Kingdom forever.

It is in 2 Samuel 7, during the equipping of David to be this unique Ruler that God establishes David’s Seed as the ultimate Ruler who will sit on the throne of Israel forever. From that point on, it cannot be removed from David. It is very important to remember that the Davidic Promise is a narrowing of Genesis 3:15. The World Ruler would now be of the Seed of David.
