For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
The book of Acts and chapter two helps us establish a doctrinal truth that begins with the promise of God to David that one from his family would reign in Jerusalem forever. Many Old Testament prophecies, and several gospel references, speak of this prophecy. The key to understanding it is to recognize that, unless clearly stated otherwise, the reference to David is, in fact, prophetical of Jesus.
David is dead and buried. His body did and still does see corruption. Though I believe David will one day be resurrected, the passages are fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose body did not see corruption, being raised on the third day.
Ezekiel 34 says, for instance, that Israel will have one shepherd, David.[1] That prophecy is answered in our chief shepherd, Jesus.
[1] Ezekiel 34:23 (KJV)
And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
