The Promise of an Eternal Kingdom the Lord declares to you that the Lord will make you a house. 12When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever. 2 Samuel 7:11-16

The Promise of an Eternal Kingdom God s covenant with Abraham: God will bless Abraham s descendants and bless all the families of earth through them God s covenant with Israel at Sinai: God intends to bring about this blessing as Israel lives in covenant obedience to His Law and is exalted as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation in fallen world God s covenant with David: God will raise up a king from David s line to lead His people to do His will and fulfill His plan The covenants sketch a silhouette of Jesus, who would come to fulfill them all through His life, death, resurrection, and ascension
The Consequence of a Fleeting Sin David abuses his power and authority to get what he wants and then to try to cover up his sin In this moment, David is not much different than Saul The Lord s steadfast love will not depart from David, but David will face just consequences for his sin
The Consequence of a Fleeting Sin 9Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife. 13David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said to David, The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die. 14Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the LORD, the child who is born to you shall die. 2 Samuel 12:9-10, 13-14
