What is the house of David in the Bible?
The house of David is the royal family that began with David, continued through Solomon, and extended all the way to the Messiah Christ. Scripture states that David's house, kingdom, and throne would be established forever, not merely for a thousand years, but eternally.
Les explains that the term 'house of David' comes from verse 16, where God speaks of David's house as that royal family. It began with David, was carried on through Solomon, and continued all the way down to the Messiah Christ Himself. Les emphasizes that this house and kingdom would be established forever—not just a thousand years—and that David's throne would be established forever. He connects this to the millennial economy continuing into the eternal state, where Revelation 22 describes the throne of God and the Lamb, no more curse, and servants serving Him and seeing His face.
