Why We Believe with Certainty in the Premillennial View (Part 6)

There is another covenant that we need to look at and that is the Davidic Covenant. You might be wondering why are we spending so much time relative God’s Promises to Israel? As we have seen, and we will see, what you believe about the things that will happen in the future are in a big way dependent upon two things. What do you believe about the church and what do you believe about the nation of Israel? Some look at these two being the same. In one sense they are in that all who are saved are in the church, and all who are saved are sons of Abraham in a spiritual sense, but not everyone who is in the church a person who is part of the nation of Israel.
So what do we learn from the Davidic Covenant?

Look at the following scripture to get what God told David.

2 Samuel 7:12 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.

2 Samuel 23:5 Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.

Psalms 89:35-37 35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.As we can see the Davidic Covenant is like the Abrahamic Covenant in that it is unconditional and will be fulfilled. God promises in both an everlasting kingdom and the promise is irrevocable. There is one more covenant though that must be mentioned because both the Davidic and Abrahamic Covenants depend upon it. This covenant is given in Jeremiah 31. This was the New Covenant and was made with Israel.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

We as Gentiles, how do we fit in? Hey, we're going to be in the Kingdom. We are the beneficiaries of all the promises to Abraham. We have been blessed to Abraham, right? Messiah is the Son of Abraham, we by faith are children of Abraham. We will possess all those promises. We'll be there in the Kingdom. I'm not saying that we are not going to be the recipients of the promises to Abraham, promises to David and promises of the New Covenant given here to Jeremiah, we are all the recipients of those things as well, but not replacing Israel.
