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 . . . Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever. (2 Samuel 7:12-13, 16, NASB)
The Bible passage above is from the Davidic Covenant from God. These are its elements: God would not permit David to build the Temple (God’s house); instead the honor would go to David’s son Solomon; David’s and Solomon’s throne would last forever. God’s covenant with David, and later with Solomon, was a one-way, irrevocable pact. It would happen no matter what. God is a Promise-Keeper. He is faithful to keep His promises! But what about the past 2,500 years or so since Israel last had a king?
The terms of this covenant state that David’s throne would last “forever.” When we compare eternity with any amount of time, the years are far less than minuscule. Actually, when Jesus ascended into heaven, He was enthroned at the right hand of God. Is this David’s throne? I don’t know. But King Jesus will be on His ancestor’s throne forever! Let’s praise and thank God for His promises, and His faithfulness to keep them! We must bow down to King Jesus, Who is on the throne of David forever!

A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I to
find it very troublesome to inform the reality nevertheless I will
