A WONDERFUL MESSIANIC TEXT

What did God have in mind when He gave the Davidic covenant? In God’s profound wisdom, He had the Messiah in mind.

And his throne as the sun before Me.”
Psalm 89:36

b) This word appeared in Psalm 89:29a.

2. Reading the two verses together

a) Though the two verses are separate.
b) They make perfect sense when they are put together.
i) Both make reference to “His seed”.
ii) Both make reference to “His throne”.

3. The “Seed” is distinguished from “his sons” (Psalm 89:30a)

4. The throne of the Messiah

a) His is an eternal throne.
b) His reign would last for all eternity.
