Psalms 132:11 KJV
The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will
not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
The promise of this passage is very plain and God insists upon His
keeping of it, that from one born to David's lineage would God Himself set upon
the throne in Israel .
What a wonder must have been David's thoughts when given this promise.
He could not have known the specifics, when this would take place; how many
generations would pass before.
He could not have imagined the history that would be Israel 's after
his passing
- The declination of the nation
- The spiritual failure of many of his seed
- The blindness of the Jews in Jesus' day
- The destruction of Israel under Rome
- The terrible persecution of the Jews by almost all the world
- The German holocaust of the Jews under Hitler
But he knew this as a truth, no matter what happened between the promise
and the keeping of it, God would never take back this promise. Jesus Christ,
the Son of David and the Son of God will sit on David's throne forever.
