What does 2 Samuel 7 show about God's kingdom promise to Israel?
2 Samuel 7 gives one of the clearest indications that God's Kingdom promise to the nation of Israel will go on into eternity. Since nations are listed in Revelation, Israel will continue to enjoy her preeminent place as during the Millennium, when she is greatest, lending and not borrowing, not the tail.
Les explains that 2 Samuel 7 is one of the clearest indications of this Kingdom promise to the nation of Israel, and that it is going to go on into eternity. He ties this to Revelation listing nations, which tells him Israel will continue to enjoy her place of preeminence as she did during the Millennium. In the Millennium she will be the greatest nation; from Deuteronomy 28, she will not ever have to borrow but will lend to others, and she will not be the tail.
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
