S6 E5: 2 Samuel 7
Notes de l’épisode
Welcome to Season 6 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.
In Season 6 of the show, we're working our way through the story of the Bible in 12 key passages. Together, these passages will take us from creation to new creation, across the different sections and genres of Scripture, with Christ at the centre.
In this episode, Allister, Cam and Murray discuss 2 Samuel 7:1–17 and the Davidic covenant. They trace how David's desire to build a house for God is answered by God's promise to build a house for David—a dynasty, a throne and a kingdom established forever—and explore how this covenant draws together and focuses the earlier promises to Adam, Abraham and Israel at Sinai on one chosen offspring.
They also trace this promise through Scripture to Jesus, the true Son of David who is raised up to reign forever, and consider what it means for the church as the house and temple that Christ is building, and for our hope of the day when God dwells with his people face to face in the new creation.
