Today, I am reading and commenting on  1 Chronicles 17-19.

When David decided that he should build a Temple for God, God sent him a message through the prophet Nathan.  In that message, God told David that He had never asked any of the leaders of Israel to build Him a house.  Then God told David that He would raise up his offspring to succeed him.  That son would build a house for God.  The easy reading of this is that God was promising that Solomon would succeed David as king and build a Temple.  Yet, God goes on to tell David that this particular offspring will be established forever.  This leads me to conclude that while God was referring to Solomon, He was also referring to Jesus.  It was Jesus whom God set over His house and kingdom forever.
