2 Samuel 7:16 KJV
And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
I read something in conjunction with this verse that gave me pause to think.
Scofield
".... this fourfold covenant has but one condition: disobedience in the Davidic family is to be visited with chastisement; but not to the abrogation of the covenant.
The chastisement fell; first in the division of the kingdom under Rehoboam, and, finally, in the captivities. Since that time but one King of the Davidic family has been crowned at Jerusalem and He was crowned with thorns."
That last sentence, "...Since that time but one King of the Davidic family has been crowned at Jerusalem and He was crowned with thorns."
That He was crowned, even though it was with thorns, is a much bigger event than I think we generally imagine. It was done in mockery and it was done in spite. But still He was crowned.
What a glorious prospect is ours, that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David and according to the promise of our most powerful God, will come again to reign!
What a day to look forward to!
What an event to announce!
What a joy to consider!
