Summary: Finding New Testament truths through Old Testament Covenants
Series on Covenants—List
Just finished the Covenant of Sinai
It was given to show sin- Not to make people righteous
The Sinai covenant became obsolete – Hebrews 8
+++
Under the old covenant God made this Cov. With David
In this chapter- David decides to build God a House
David lives in a mansion- God lives in a tent
Asks Nathan- Nathan says yeah-
God tells Nathan “What were you thinking”
+++ Read Scripture
That’s where scripture starts
+++
God’s says I’ll build you a house David-
Not a physical house- geneology
How long is forever- God says I will abide forever
I look for Jesus in every verse of the Bible – It’s clear this is about Jesus
I struggled with a certain verse in this passage
Says 7 things
1. Set up David’s seed
2. Set up his kingdom
3. I will establish the throne of Davids kingdom forever
4. I will be his father and he will be my son- David was reeling- Abraham
5. I will chasten him
6. He will have mercy on the son forever
7. House, kingdom, and throne forever
How can this be about Jesus- Talks about chastening for sin?
Abe- Isaac> Isaac- Jacob and Esau> Jacob- 12 sons (tribes)
12 tribes went to Egypt- A lot of Jews not many with faith
Not about the blood of Abraham- people with Ishmael and Esau’s sons
Too many seeds- Abraham, Isaac, David, Jesus, We are the seed-
Which is it- YES___ Anyone who had faith- is a seed of the promise
Jesus Made us all the seed & He did all 7
I Have made a covenant with “MY CHOSEN”
SWORN TO DAVID
VS 28- 37

Ahaz- horrible Leader- Afraid he’s going to lose the Whole Nation of Israel
Gets religious
First time this was ever said- Here’s the promise
I’m sure Isaiah thought- BORN OF A VIRGIN? How you gonna do that God
Isaiah 9: 6-7
Child is born- Son is Given> So man- but so God
The child could be born- but the son had to be given-
He’s been there since beginning
He’ll sit on the throne of David
Let’s see if this is going to happen- or it’s going to happen
End times believes that this will be fulfilled during tribulation
+++
O when Jesus comes back- rebuild the temple- so we have a throne
We’ll be making sacrifices- and Jesus will sit on the throne of David
Every mainstream end times guru- O rebuild the kingdom-
Quit reading the books written by men, and read the one written by God
+++
Peter said, what david said in Psalms 2 was fulfilled at the cross
Read Ps. 2 – First time “Anointed” is used- Messiah
No matter how much you wanna reject Jesus- I have set him on the throne
God laughs
Why did God raise Jesus- TO SIT ON HIS THRONE
It’s not the return of Christ that will cause God to sit on the Throne
IT WAS THE RESURRECTION
LORD- YAWHEH ----- Lord- Adonia
God said to Jesus
I have a king-
His name is Jesus-
He fulfilled all things at the cross
God has a temple
No one has to be rebuilt
WE are the Temple of God
Where is Jesus is on the Throne
And this kingdom will last forever
