Episode notes
A Favorite Chapter For Messianic Promise
- Chad says 2 Samuel 7 is his favorite chapter and a good Old Testament starting point to discuss the Messiah.
- He calls it a 'mountaintop' text that links prior promises to future fulfillment.
David Fulfills Deuteronomy's Rest Promise
- David's desire to build God a temple echoes Deuteronomy's promise about a central place of worship.
- Chad connects David's timing to Moses' command that a central sanctuary follows God's giving of rest.
Wait For God's Clear Commission
- Don't assume a prophet's casual approval equals divine commission; wait for God's clear word.
- Daniel notes Nathan first responded from observation, not revelation, and God later corrected him.
