2 Samuel 7:10 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 7:10

8 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^a“I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.

9 And ^aI have been with you wherever you have gone, ^band have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth.

10 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will ^aplant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; ^bnor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,

11 ^asince the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord¹ tells you ^bthat He will make you a house.

12 ^a“When your days are fulfilled and you ^brest with your fathers, ^cI will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 ^aHe shall build a house for My name, and I will ^bestablish the throne of his kingdom forever.

II Samuel 7:10-11

Now, we know that after David the Israelites were taken into captivity, and they have never returned to that place. So now this utterance becomes a prophecy. He is talking about something that has not occurred yet. It is still yet "future" for you and me.

Remember that! God will make you [David] a "house." Insert "family." Insert "dynasty." It means what people call today, the house of David. He is saying that what is going to occur is that there will be descendants of David who will always be available to sit on the throne—representing God in heaven. You see the king being God's agent through which He would govern His people, Israel. That is, God's Kingdom on earth, Israel. So, God is going to establish David through a dynasty.
