What does the prophecy of rebuilding the tabernacle of David refer to?
The prophecy of rebuilding the tabernacle of David refers to His Second Coming, when God will return and build again the fallen tabernacle of David. It follows the present age when God visits the Gentiles to take out a people for His name, as James explains in Acts 15.
Les explains that the prophecy of rebuilding the tabernacle of David refers to the Second Coming of Christ. In the Acts 15 conference, James is the moderator, not Peter. James cites the prophets: after God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name, He will return and build again the tabernacle of David which is fallen down, and set it up. Les says this points to His Second Coming. The council then decides not to trouble Gentile converts but to write that they abstain from pollutions of idols, fornication, things strangled, and blood. Les notes these prohibitions still hold true today.
