ATTRIBUTES OF DAVID IN ISAIAH: THE THRONE OF DAVID
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Attributes Of David In Isaiah
a) Although David's name is written only ten times in all the book of Isaiah, his memory was highly honored in Isaiah’s time. King David had established the throne in Jerusalem almost three centuries earlier. He was the patriarch and hero of Jerusalem’s royal family.
b) Here is one of the seven attributes of David mentioned in Isaiah, and what it signifies for us.
2. The Throne Of David
Isaiah 9:7
7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
a) Isaiah always kept in mind that God had sworn with an oath to David to seat one of his descendants upon his throne to rule forever (2 Samuel 7:12-14, Psalms 89:3-4).
b) Although Isaiah speaks of many lamentable things, there is this strong hope (Isaiah 9:6-7). Isaiah is not only looking back to David, but looking forward to Christ of whom David was a symbol or type. Jeremiah was preaching the same a century later, and Ezekiel later still (Jeremiah 30:9, Ezekiel 37:24-25).
c) More centuries went by before Peter proclaimed the fulfillment of this promise shortly after Christ had risen from the dead and ascended into heaven (Acts 2:29-36). The throne of David had foreshadowed the eternal reign of Christ the King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 3:21, Revelation 19:16).
