House of David; House of God Sunday, May 11, 2025
When David had achieved a time of peace for Israel and had even built himself a palace he was struck by the incongruity that the Ark of the Covenant, which symbolized the presence of God, resided in a tent. David seeks to build a house for the LORD, instead the LORD promises to build a house for David. This promise is one of the key prophesies pointing ahead to Jesus, the descendant of David, who reigns eternally not only over Israel, but over all of creation.
