Davidic covenant:
The Davidic covenant lays the foundation for the Lord’s future earthly kingdom.
Romans 1:3, “Concerning the Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh.”
2 Samuel 7:8-16, the covenant was given to David at Jerusalem through Nathan the Prophet.
In Genesis 49:10, Jacob foresees and foretells the glorious events that will come to the tribe of Judah. The tribe of Judah would be successful in war under King David and superior to the other 11 tribes. Judah was to be the lawgiver.
Psalms 60:7, “Judah is my lawgiver.”
Genesis 49:10, “The Scepter shall not depart from Judah, not a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.”
Neither the Scepter, the symbol of kingship, nor the lawgiver (the Judges staff) shall not depart from Judah until the coming of the Giver, who is the Prince of Peace: both offices, a King and Lawgiver united in the coming Christ, this fulfilled in King David, whose seed, the crown passed.
