Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.,

2 Samuel 7:1-17

After the king was settled in his palace and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies around him, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”

Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’

Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel. I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth. And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies.

The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you: When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.’

Why?

David loved the Lord so he wanted to build a house of cedar for the Lord. The Lord refused him but said David's offspring would build a house for the Lord.

More important is the promise your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever. This is talking about Jesus, Christ.

The Lord is full of all universal, so the Lord doesn't need any house of cedar and shape of the house.

If we build a house for the Lord, the house could be idle among us like Israel's history kept the ark of God in the tent.

God's love will never be taken away from David, this promise is how great and important to all of us.

How?

My God is a spirit, full of all universal and across space and time, beyond our imaginations.
