Luke Matthew So Christ then was the descendant or seed of David but also he was the son of God as was promised to David:. The promise stated that David would see his descendant Christ sitting on his throne, the throne of David in Jerusalem and that his Kingdom would continue forever.
This is to happen in the future when Jesus Christ returns to the earth to establish that kingdom. Acts David himself realized that this covenant would be fulfilled through one greater than himself and he spake of this in one of his Psalms which the apostle Paul later picks up on:.
Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. Psalm Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
Clearly then, the Bible teaches that David must be resurrected, that Jesus Christ must come back to the earth to sit upon Davids and set up a Kingdom which will last forever. This will be a re-establishment of the Kingdom of God over which David ruled. God told the last king, King Zedekiah, this:. Do as you promised, 26 so that your name BM will be great forever.

God's "house" is where He is willing to live, and Isa. Jesus is therefore building a spiritual temple for God to dwell in, made up of the true believers. Descriptions of Jesus as the foundation stone of God's temple 1 Peter and of Christians as the temple stones 1 Peter now slot into place. Christ's kingdom will therefore be based on David's kingdom of Israel; this means that the coming kingdom of God will be a re-establishment of the kingdom of Israel - see Study 5. To fulfil this promise, Christ must reign on David's "throne", or place of rulership.
This was literally in Jerusalem. This is another proof that the kingdom must be established here on earth in order to fulfil these promises. This was therefore an indirect promise that he would be resurrected at Christ's return so that he could see with his own eyes the kingdom being set up world-wide, with Jesus reigning from Jerusalem. These things which were promised to David are absolutely vital to understand.
David joyfully spoke of these things as "an everlasting covenant These things relate to our salvation too; rejoicing in them should likewise be all our desire. So again the point is made that these doctrines are important. It is a tragedy that Christendom teaches doctrines which flatly contradict these marvellous truths These things were literally on the earth, and so their re-establishment must be in the same place.
David's literal son, Solomon, fulfilled some part of the promises to David.
