Sacred Space in Promise: The Davidic Covenant

After installing the ark of Yahweh's presence in the new capital of Jerusalem, David determined that the time had come to build a permanent sanctuary for Israel's God. This endeavor would fulfill - within the context of the Mosaic Covenant - the Lord's promise of a central sanctuary situated at an appointed place within the covenant land (Deuteronomy 12:5ff). This sermon examines the Davidic Covenant that followed upon David's intention, taking special note of the salvation-historical context of the covenant. Of particular concern is the way the Davidic Covenant served the process of God's recovery of sacred space in Jesus Christ, the promised Davidic Seed.
