What did God promise Abraham in the Abrahamic covenant about a government?
God promised Abraham a covenant that included a nation of people dwelling in the land and that at one time a government would come. That governmental aspect did not come into play until God gave it to King David, as recorded in 2 Samuel 7.
Les teaches that the Abrahamic covenant promised Abraham a nation of people dwelling in the land, and that at one time there would come a government. However, the governmental aspect of that covenant did not really come into play until God gives it to King David, which he connects to 2 Samuel 7. This fits with God's foreknowledge and sovereignty; nothing Israel did caught God by surprise, and He remains absolutely in control of everything according to His plan.
