Last week at the YMJA Zoom Big Picture Bible Study we were studying the Monarch Period of Israel's history. We were put in our breakout rooms for a discussion on the topic and each group was given a king to discuss, my group was assigned King David. At one point in my group's study, our group leader was connecting last week's study of the biblical covenants, and the covenant that God made with David, to what we were talking about this week. While he was talking, I had a huge lightbulb moment. The Davidic covenant (God promising David that he will always have a descendant on the throne) has never really made sense to me because Israel has not had a king for a very long time, and during Yeshua's life there was a Roman on the throne. But the thought that was given to me was this: Yeshua is of the line of King David, and Yeshua will sit on His throne forever, so when you combine those two things you get an eternal descendant on the throne just like God promised David in 2 Samuel 7:16.
“So your house and your kingship will be secure forever before you; your throne will be established forever.” 2 Samuel 7:16 (TLV)
I am looking forward to the rest of the series! #YMJATruthTuesday
