Davidic Covenant

“When your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will raise up your seed after you, which will come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.It is he 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. If he commits iniquity, I will strike him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men;” (2 Samuel 7:12-14, RecVer)

The covenant God made with David reveals God's desire of Him becoming a man and making man becoming Him, in life and in nature but not in the Godhead. But to see this revelation, we need a spirit of wisdom and revelation and be filled unto the full knowledge of Him.

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him,” (Ephesians 1:17, RecVer)

“And to know the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:19, RecVer)

The seed of David as was covenanted to be designated the Son of God implies the deification of the Son of God in His humanity with the intent of making man God as much as He becoming a man. This thought, though clearly revealed in the Bible, has been neglected intentionally or ignorantly by the majority of believers today. Perhaps, under the devil's blinding. In fact, the majority of believers hated this truth to the core. They could easily accept that God became a man, but vehemently deny man becoming God, which is the very goal of God becoming man. Only the spirit of revelation can open the eyes of the spiritually blind believers to see this profound truth. I myself, because of the religious tradition and shallow religious teachings I had been taught, took two years to clearly understand this truth from the Bible, after much prayer and study of the word. Thank God for the Lord’s mercy that finally opened my eyes!

“Concerning His Son, who came out of the seed of David according to the flesh, Who was designated the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness out of the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;” (Romans 1:3-4, RecVer)

To see the revelation is one thing and to experience such a revelation is yet another thing. Therefore, to bring us from revelation to experience, God in His sovereignty works all things together for good for those who love Him. In His working of good, He, as the divine essence in the spirit of the believers, tries to gain every opportunity to spread into the soul of the believers, only if they cooperate, using the outward environment and circumstances. In His workings, He sanctifies and saturates the soul of the believers most practically through the breaking of the outer man that the Spirit mingled with the spirit of man may spread and be expressed through the soul with the mingled spirit as the person. In this way, the believers are being led from revelation to experience, gradually, day by day, until fully conformed to the image of the Firstborn Son of God. This is how God who became man is making man to become God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead.

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers;” (Romans 8:28-29, RecVer)

This is the fulfillment and reality of the Davidic covenant God made with David. Today, we are the beneficiaries of this covenant. This is God’s heart's desire, His divine purpose. 

What a blessing that I, along with many believers, am experiencing the reality of God making us all become like Him, in life and in nature, but not in the Godhead!
