How has David’s house and kingdom endured forever (7:16)?
The succession of kings who ruled in Jerusalem after David were all direct descendants from this great king. However, the New Testament is clear that Jesus represents the fulfillment of this wonderful promise. In Luke 1:32–33 we read the words of the angel assuring Mary that Jesus would be “given the throne of his father David” and that “his kingdom will never end.” God can be trusted to fulfill all of his promises–though often in ways that surprise us!
