Romans 5:7-9

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

Fulfillments & Interpretations of Biblical Prophesies - The Davidic Covenant - Grammatical/Historical Presentation

The Davidic Covenant:
Grammatical/Historical Presentation
·         Promises
o        Dynastic
§         A great name (2 Sam. 7:9; 1 Chr. 17:8).
§         A permanent place of peace (2 Sam. 7:8; 1 Chr. 17:9).
§         A house or dynasty for David (2 Sam. 7:11; 1 Chr. 17:10).
§         God promised to be as a Father to Solomon, and Solomon to be His son (2 Sam. 7:13-14; 1 Chr. 17:13). God promised to establish David’s offspring (2 Sam. 7:13; Ps. 89:4-29).
o        A Kingdom
§         A kingdom in David’s line (2 Sam. 7:12; 1 Chr. 17:11). We can certainly observe the documentation of the grammatical/historical fulfillment of this promise in the line of Kings.
§         God promised David and his offspring that there would always be a king to sit on the throne (2 Sam. 7:13; 1 Chr. 17:12, 14; Ps. 89:31-32).
·         Recipients
o        David and the people of Israel (2 Sam. 7:10-11; 1 Chr. 17:9-10).
o        David’s offspring, especially Solomon (1 Sam 7:12-13; 1 Chr. 17:11-12).
·         Commands—the sons of David were commanded to obey the Law (2 Chr. 6:16; 7:17-18; 1 Kings 2:3-4).
·         Curse—the discipline a Father exacts on a son (2 Sam. 7:15-17; Ps. 89:31-32).  This is really the absence of a curse; it is instead, a fatherly discipline that doesn’t negate covenant promises.
