2 Samuel 7:18 - 9:13

2 Samuel
2 SamuelSteve Gregg

In this text, Steve Gregg discusses 2 Samuel 7:18-9:13, highlighting that God used David's lineage as a prediction of the coming of Christ, and that David wished to build a temple to dwell in, which later became a shadow of Christ's permanent residence. David's wars were not necessarily wrong, but rather God used him as an instrument of the state. David took Saul's domain and reached the Riviufreides, and David allowed Mephibosheth to eat at his table, despite the risk of allowing Saul's bloodline to survive.
