Breaking The Jewish Code Perry Stone

—1 Kings 9:5 Your seed I will establish forever, and build up your throne to all generations. —Psalm 89:4 The LORD has sworn in truth to David; He will not turn from it: “I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body. If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.” —Psalm 132:11–12 The Lord promised a Davidic dynasty. David was one of Israel’s greatest men, but he carried a mark against his name etched by his adulterous affair with a married woman. This sin opened the door for a rebellion among David’s sons. Adonijah began a family feud (1 Kings 2). Amnon raped his half sister (2 Sam. 13), and Absalom was the hippie on the run stirring up a rebellion against David (2 Sam. 13). David’s advantage was his humility and willingness to repent when confronted with his own disobedience. David knew of God’s faithfulness when he wrote: My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips. —Psalm 89:34 He remembers His covenant forever,
