2 Samuel 7:12-16
mercy Verses 14 and 15 state the principle of judgment within the family of God. (See Scofield "1 Corinthians 11:31"). It is always remedial, not penal Hebrews 12:5-11. Judgment of the wicked is penal, not remedial. The Davidic Covenant The Davidic Covenant 2 Samuel 7:8-17. This covenant, upon which the glorious kingdom of Christ "of the seed of David according to the flesh" is to be founded, secures:- (1) A Davidic "house"; i.e. posterity, family
- (2) A "throne"; i.e. royal authority
- (3) A kingdom; i.e. sphere of rule
- (4) In perpetuity; "for ever"
- (5) And this fourfold covenant has but one condition: disobedience in the Davidic family is to be visited with chastisement; but not to the abrogation of the covenant 2 Samuel 7:15; Psalms 89:20-37; Isaiah 24:5; 54:3.
