The Lord God Blessed David’s Lineage Foretelling of Jesus

2 Samuel 7:1-29       The Book of 2 Samuel [in Smaller Chunks]

It [happened,] when king [David] sat in his house, & the Lord had given him rest [all around] from all his enemies. King [David] said to Nathan, the prophet, Now see, I dwell, [a.k.a. live,] in a house of cedar, but the Ark of God [dwells] within curtains [in a tent.]

And Nathan said to king [David,] Go, do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you. And it [happened] that night, the Word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, Go & tell My servant, David, the Lord [says this, Shall] you build Me [a] house for Me to dwell in?

[The fact is,] I haven’t dwelt in any house, since the time that I brought up the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked, [a.k.a. followed,] [& moved from place to place] in a tent & in a tabernacle.

In all the places [in which] I have [followed] [along] with all the children, [a.k.a. people] of Israel, [did] I [ever] [speak] with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I command to feed My people, a Word, saying, Why [haven’t] you [built] Me [a] house of cedar?

Therefore, now you [shall] say to My servant, David, The Lord of Hosts [says this,] I took you from the [pen for sheep,] from following the sheep, to be [the] ruler over Israel, My people. And I was with you [wherever] you [went,] & have [destroyed] all your enemies out of your sight, & have made [your] name great, [similar to] the [honored] men, [who] are [on] the earth.

[Additionally,] I will [select] a place for My people, Israel, & will plant them [there, so] that they may [live] in a place of their own, & no [longer] move. Neither shall children, [a.k.a. people,] of wickedness afflict them anymore, [like they did before.]

Since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people, Israel, [I] have [made] [it possible for] you to rest from all of your enemies. The Lord also [tells] you that He will make you a house.

*And when your days [are] fulfilled, & you sleep with your [forefathers,] I will [raise] up your seed, [a.k.a. offspring or descendants, from] your [own] [body] after you, & I will establish His kingdom.

[Matthew 1:17 So, all the generations from Abraham to David are 14 generations. From David until the carrying away [captive] to Babylon are 14 generations. And from the carrying away [captive into] Babylon, [until] Christ are 14 generations.]

*He shall build [a] house for My Name, & I will [establish] the throne of His kingdom forever. I will be His Father, & He shall be My Son. [John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God [didn't send] His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He [who] believes in Him, is not condemned: but he [who doesn’t] believe is condemned already, because he didn’t believe in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.]

If he [commits] iniquity, I will [correct] him with the rod of men, & with the stripes, [a.k.a. whip marks,] of the children of men. [Isaiah 53:5-7 *But He was wounded for our [sins.] He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement [for] our peace, was upon Him; & we are healed with His stripes. *All we like sheep have gone astray. We have everyone turned to his own [ways,] & the Lord [has] laid on Him the [sin] of us all. *He was oppressed, & He was afflicted, [still] He [didn't] open His mouth. He is brought [like] a lamb to the slaughter, & [like] a sheep before [its] shearers is [mute,] so He [didn't open] His mouth.]

But My mercy shall not depart away from Him, [like] I took it] [away] from Saul, whom I [removed] before you. And your house, & your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.

Nathan [spoke] to David, according to all these Words [of] this vision. Then David went in, & sat before the Lord, & [David] said, Who am I, O Lord God? What is my house, [a.k.a. family,] that You [have] brought me [here?]

And [even] this was [still] a small thing in Your sight, O Lord God, but You [have] spoken of the house of Your [servant,] for a [long time] to come. Is this the [type] [of kindness You normally display to a] man, O Lord God?

What more can [I,] David, say to You? For You, Lord God, [know] Your servant. For Your Word’s sake, & according to Your Own heart, & You [have] done all these great things, & [made] them [known to] Your servant.

For this reason,] You [are] great, O Lord God, for there is none like You. Neither is there any God [besides] You, according to all we have heard with our ears.   [1 Chronicles 16:25-26 For great is the Lord, & to be praised greatly. He is also to be feared, [a.k.a. respected,] above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.]

And what one nation in the [world] is even like Israel, Your people, whom God went to redeem [as] a people [for] Himself, & to make [Himself] a Name, & to do great, & [terribly awesome] things for You, & for Your land, before Your people, [whom] You [redeemed] from Egypt [for] Yourself, from the nations & their gods? For You [have] confirmed Your people, Israel, to Yourself, to be a people [for] You forever. And You, Lord, [have] become their God.

Now, O Lord God, establish the Word that You [have] spoken [about] [me,] Your servant, & [about] His house forever, & do [like] You [have] said. And let Your Name be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of Hosts is the God over Israel, & let the house of Your servant, David, be established before You.

For You, O Lord of Hosts, God of Israel, [have] revealed to [me,] Your servant, saying, I will build you [a] house. Therefore, Your servant [has] found [within] his heart to pray this prayer to You.

And now, O Lord God, You [are] God, & Your Words [are] True. [1 John 5:20 And  we know that the Son of God [has] come, & [has] given us an understanding, [so] that we may know Him, [Who] Is True, & we are [believers] in Him, [Who] Is True, even in His son, Jesus Christ. This is the True God, & [faith in Him leads to:] Eternal Life.]

And You [have promised this goodness to [me,] Your servant. Therefore, let it now please You to bless the house of Your servant, [so] that it may continue forever before You.For You, O Lord God, [have] spoken it, & with Your blessing, let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.
