David's Promise from the Lord
Book of 2 Samuel Chapter 7
There should be no doubt that Chapter Seven in the Book of 2 Samuel is a great chapter and one of the greatest chapters in all the Bible!
Some of God's greatest promises can be read in this chapter and much of it has already been found to be true by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
One man wrote, The New Testament opens with "The Book of the Generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David".
This is important because of the promises God made to David are to be fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ!
The Lord Jesus Christ is the answer to all prophecy!
Luk 1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
Luk 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Luk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Luk 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luke could write these things because they were revealed in 2 Samuel Chapter Seven and verified by the Holy Spirit.
This was God fulfilling His promise to David!
Peter' sermon revealed:
Act 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
Act 2:30 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;
Act 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Act 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Act 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Act 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
The Apostle Paul:
Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Rom 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) (Chapter 7, 2 Samuel)
Rom 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Rom 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Rom 1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
Jeremiah wrote:
Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
Jer 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
We call these things today the Davidic Covenant and this Chapter as a picture of Grace.
God's greatest promise of "Hope", the Coming of the Son of David, Christ Jesus Himself.
All our hope is in JESUS!
*****2Sa 7:1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
2Sa 7:2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
2Sa 7:3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.
2Sa 7:4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,
2Sa 7:5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
King David had a burning desire to build a Temple worthy enough for God to dwell as He had in the Tabernacle.
His heart was in the right place.
David had a heart set upon honoring God.
We all should have such a heart!
The pure fact is, that we cannot confine our Lord and Savior, our God, to any one place of worship!
Jehovah just cannot be confined period!
There is no place in this universe where the Lord cannot be found!
No doubt King David had been greatly blessed because Jehovah had given him victory over all the enemies of Israel and Jehovah had established Jerusalem as the capitol city of all of Israel and by giving David great wealth.
David's name was spoken of all over the world when great names were mentioned.
David wanted to show his gratitude to Jehovah by building a House of God, a great Temple in honor of Him.
The Ark of the Covenant was the symbol of God's presence and the Ark was abiding in nothing but a tent.
Remember last week's lesson told us of the Tabernacle of David where the Ark had been placed while the rebuilt Tabernacle was located in Gibeon.
When Nathan became aware of David's desire, he first told David since God was with him, then surely it would be the right thing to do, to build a Temple for Jehovah.
We must understand that all of Israel considered that Jehovah was only God to Israel and not to any other peoples or any other nation.
Nathan being a prophet of God had encouraged David as a personal adviser would do, but God had other plans and He let them be known to Nathan who took God's message to King David.
Nathan's task was to give spiritual and religious advice to the King.
God had not yet spoken to Nathan about this issue, but that night He did, and Nathan had given King David some bad advice which he would have to correct.
As David can be our example in many things but not all things, we can still learn from him.
1) It is only the Lord who can save us from sin, death, and Hell!
2) It is only the Lord who gives us the strength to overcome our trials and temptations in this life.
3) It is only the Lord who enables us to face hardships and misfortune such as disease or a disabling accident.
4) It is only the Lord who loves us even when we are unlovable and who forgives us when we confess our sins to Him, this is called Grace.
5) It is only the Lord who will stand with us in moments of loneliness and when we are facing death.
We can see that we certainly owe the Lord our honor and our praise.
The message God gave to Nathan was one of the most important messages given to any of the prophets!
There is so much of the Old Testament that we could also write in red letters and this message to Nathan was one of the longest times that God speaks in the Old Testament.
1) There were blessings and promises of God to David that would happen in his lifetime.
2) There God's blessings and promises that were to be fulfilled after David was dead and buried for many years.
Let us revue God's instructions to David.
1) David would not be the one to build a Temple to God.
In fact it is only the Lord Jesus Christ who can build a true Temple of God!
David was a warrior king and much blood had been shed by his hands and this is not the message a House of God should have.
It is only the blood of Jesus that has cleansing power!
David like Joshua had been the hand of destruction to many people under God's commands.
1Ch 22:8 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
1Ch 28:6 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
1Ch 28:7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.
A house of God is a House of Prayer and we should never pray for war!
We must pray for peace and salvation for those who would cause war!
This is why we should pray for the salvation of our President because he certainly does not know God and it appears he could lead us into war.
All the actions of this president show that he has no knowledge of the Word of God and that he has no faith in the Lord Jesus Christ!
Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Jas 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Jas_2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
We cannot leave these things out of the Bible and say we are godly people, especially if our works prove to be against the Word of God!
We are not to judge, but the works of our government speak for themselves!
The Word of God is to be obeyed!
Disobedience to the Word of God especially the words of the Lord Jesus are sin.
We must remember all the Word of God is inspired by God Himself.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
We cannot dictate to others how they should live their lives but we must have laws written that line up with the Word of God!
2) God had never had a house built for His presence; His dwelling place had always been a tent as Israel believed following the Laws of Moses.
It was a place where God showed that it was by the blood that sin could be forgiven but He also said the blood of animals could not erase sin.
We should understand that it is not our Savior who needs us, it is we who have a great need to be in the care of our Savior!
God had never said He wanted or needed such a Temple!
1Ch 17:5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
1Ch 17:6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
We can also see that it is at times of peace that every government should work on the welfare of its people and not be planning for another war!
As we read to understand what the Lord is saying here, we will see that the Lord was speaking more about the Church rather than the Temple.
The Lord was speaking more about the Lord Jesus Christ than He was Solomon!
*****2Sa 7:6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
2Sa 7:7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
What God was saying to David was "are you the one who has been chosen to build a temple for Me to live in"?
Since we now know many of the results of this covenant with David, we also know that the answer is no.
It is the Lord Jesus Christ who builds the temples for God to dwell in sometimes known as the Son of David in the Scriptures.
1Co_3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Co_6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Up until the time of Jesus Christ, Jehovah had never had a house built for His presence!
We know that David did not have it in his power to build such a house and neither did Solomon or any other King of Israel or any other ruler upon this earth!
It is true that the Lord had said he would meet the High Priests of Israel in the Holy of Holies dwelling between the cherubim on the top of the Ark of the Covenant.
God had never complained or even asked that any such temple to be built for Him because it is impossible for mankind to build such a place for God to dwell!
This now being understood by King David, Jehovah now covered the blessings He would bestow upon David.
*****2Sa 7:8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
2Sa 7:9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
David the young shepherd boy who killed Goliath was given a place of royalty and power through Israel by Jehovah Himself.
Psa 78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
Psa 78:71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
Psa 78:72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
The Lord took David from the life of a lowly shepherd to the life of a king.
Notice our Savior will at first be the opposite.
Jesus left a life of royalty behind, to become a shepherd of lost human sheep in order to die for our sin.
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
You see, we cannot make this passage be about Solomon, it is about our Savior the Mesiah, who is the Supreme Shepherd.
If the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ was to be David's Son by bloodline, then it was necessary that King David should hold a special place in the hearts of all Israelites and history has proven this to be true.
Israel still flies the flag of David and not the flag of Solomon!
It is because of fables and the many tales by the Arabs, that Solomon is most respected because of his riches and his wisdom.
We should be able to see how Jehovah feels about these things.
After all it was Jehovah who gave wisdom to Solomon and gave him his riches, which for the most part came from his father David.
Solomon was born a rich man and he then used that influence to gain more riches until he was the richest and the wisest of all men, then and now, with these things allowed by Jehovah!
In the Old Testament no king is "Jehovah’s servant" but David; no king is ever connected with Messiah but David.
How did David understand these things?
Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psa 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psa 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
It seems that David clearly understood what God was saying.
The Lord had blessed David and the Lord had been with David wherever he went.
Through the dark places as well as the clear and easy places!
The Lord had given David the power to conquer all his enemies and Israel was now at peace, a thing that they had not felt since the time of Moses.
David became famous throughout the known world!
*****2Sa 7:10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
2Sa 7:11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
God had described to Abraham a place where his descendants would live and it was called the Promised Land.
Throughout the Bible, up until this time of King David, Jehovah had promised a land to be given to Israel, His people.
The time had come that Israel would be no longer pilgrims wandering from place to place, always living as foreigners in a strange land.
This promise is to the Church.
All believers become the children of God by being "born again" then adopted into the family of God.
So as believers, we are pilgrims and strangers in this place called earth because Heaven is our home.
Could this promised land be that permanent home where they could live in peace and no longer be threatened by their enemies?
Could this be the place where wicked people and wicked nations would no longer oppress them as they had always done?
What does the Book written to these Hebrews say?
Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
Heb 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
Heb 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Abraham was looking for a much better place than any place on this earth.
Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Heb 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
The Lord God Jehovah did give the land called Israel to these who traveled according to the promises of Jehovah. All the Land that Abraham walked upon and all the land conquered by King David.
There has never been a place called Palestine and there have never been any true Palestinians.
There were never many drifters who lived on this desert land and each one of them were paid for the land they said they owned.
Most of the world knows this but the lies of the Muslim continue to thrive by foolish people who would rather do away with history.
Again we can see that the Land given to the tiny nation of Israel as still a temporary thing.
All the truths come only by the Lord Jesus Christ who was rejected by the Jews because even these Jews had refused to look at the truth of the Scriptures!
The Lord God Jehovah promised King David a future rest from all his enemies, meaning both a military rest and a Spiritual rest.
We must know that there is a day coming when David and all God's people will be given permanent peace from all enemies.
What does a rest from God really mean?
That God's people will live victorious lives over all the enemies that try to defeat and destroy us day by day.
One day we will live within God's victorious power over all the enemies of this life.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Heb_4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Heb_4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Though David may not have understood all these things, he probably understood more that we give him credit for!
David wrote many of the Psalms and this is the reason we can find peace as we read them.
We also know that Solomon and the future kings up until the time of Jesus the Son of Joseph who was in the line of David were included in this prophecy given to King David.
Of all the promises ever made by the Lord, these are some of the most important.
*****2Sa 7:12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
2Sa 7:13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
These promises in this chapter pointed not only to Solomon the son of David but also to the Lord Jesus Christ in the bloodline of King David.
1) A dynasty for David.
2) An offspring of David raised up by Jehovah Himself.
To Abram:
Gen 15:3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
Gen 15:4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
Gen 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
Gen 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Mat 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Act 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
Act 2:30 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;
Act 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Act 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Act 13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
Act 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
Act 13:23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
3) A kingdom established by God Himself:
Luk 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Luk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Luk 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
4) A Spiritual house of worship:
Zec 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
Zec 6:13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Joh 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
Joh 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
Joh 2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
5) An eternal throne or kingdom:
1Ch 22:6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.
1Ch 22:7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:
1Ch 22:8 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
1Ch 22:9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
1Ch 22:10 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
1Ch 22:11 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
Mat 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Mat 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Luk 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
Luk 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
A descendant who would be the Son of God.
*****2Sa 7:14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
2Sa 7:15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
2Sa 7:16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
The Scriptures say:
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Mar 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
Luk 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Luk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Luk 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
God's Son who would be punished for sin:
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Heb 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
a) Men would inflict God’s Son:
Act 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Act 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
Act 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
b) God's mercy and love for His Son cannot fail:
Mat 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
Mat 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Heb 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
c) God repeats this promise to Isaiah who told all the world:
Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Isa 11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Isa 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
Zec 3:8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
We should understand that all these things were told to King David word by word!
Amen
