Commentary on 2 Samuel 7:13

Theological / Devotional

For ever. Had Israel been true to God the nation of Israel would have continued forever and the glorious Temple would never have been destroyed. That which God purposed to do for the world through the nation of the Hebrews He is now accomplishing through the church. Regardless of the failure of man, God’s purpose will ultimately be carried out in the establishment of an eternal kingdom through Christ (Luke 1:31–33; cf. Ps. 89:29, 36, 37; Dan. 2:44; Dan. 7:14, 27; Obadiah 21; Micah 4:7; Heb. 1:8).
