The Intended Promised Land of America In 2Samuel 7:10

At a time when all the people of Israel dwelled securely in the middle east, under the kingship of King David, all 12 tribes, we find an interesting prophecy given concerning another land, apart from the location Israel dwelt at the time these events were taking place. Allow me to set the stage for you….

In an effort to thank YHWH for Israel’s new found peace, David desires to build YHWH a house to dwell in. Wasn’t that a thoughtful gestor? Well, actually no, it wasn’t very thought filled at all. How can man build anything worthy of The Almighty to live in? And in fact, this point is made quite emphatically as the chapter plays out. However, YHWH uses this well meaning desire of David, His servant to insert one of the most overlooked prophecies in all of scripture and its so much more than just the location of The Promised Land in the last days, as we shall see.

With this context in mind, lets consider the text.

”But that same night the word of YHWH came to Nathan,

5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says YHWH: Would you build me a house to dwell in?

6 I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent for my dwelling.

7 In all places where I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’

8 Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says YHWH of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.

9 And I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth.

10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more. And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly,

11 from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, YHWH declares to you that YHWH will make you a house.

12 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14 I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men,

15 but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you.

16 And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever.’”

17 In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.” 2Samuel 7:5–17

The words, “And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them” simply can not be speaking of the middle eastern location Israel was dwelling at the time, which was in and around the city of Jerusalem Israel, the “thought to be” promised land. it would make no sense at all for YHWH to tell David He was going to appoint a place for Israel is they were already in such a place at that time.

The words, “so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more” Describes the very place we are at now in history. We look around today and think things are bad, via internal crime and the like, but we do not worry about attacks from “violent men” , invading our nation, America, today. While the stage is set for the coming Ezekiel 38 attack on this land, which will end such a prophecy given in this text, by in large, the people of America has lived securely for hundreds of years, an accomplishment never enjoyed by any other nation in all of man’s history. it is only of recent history is that security waning and that being the case because of our national sins against YHWH’s Covenant Law.

That said, there is much more in this prophecy apart from the location of The Promised Land give to Israel, at the end time.

There is a very real principle given in scripture that says the land is tied to the government of that land. If a land is governed by Israel, then it is the land of Israel. If that same land is governed by Babylon, that land is then the land of Babylon, and so on. This principle is a must to understand if you are going to fully understand what YHWH is doing in the pages of the major and minor prophets of the bible, as the story is repeated within these prophets concerning the end time land of Israel, which is governed by a total of five different ancient nations. Israel (which is listed as Israel, Jacob, Ephraim, Judah, Jerusalem, Zion, and other references accordingly), Babylon, Egypt, and Assyria are all references to the real-estate known as America, in the last days depending upon the context.

Yet there is one more governing party that holds a claim our beloved and blessed land of America. That governing authority is YHWH. Notice this reference to this one major fact in the equation. YHYWH says this concerning the land of unwalled villages, which can only be America, in the last days.

14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says YHWH: On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it?

15 You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army.

16 You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.” Ezekiel 38:14–16

The coming war of correction upon our nation is lead and directed by YHWH Himself, as He Himself become vindicated before His people, as He uses ancient nations, listed at the beginning of Ezekiel 38 as the rod of his anger, see Isaiah 10:5.

Thus it is after this coming attack upon America, the following statements from 2Samuel 7 are fulfilled. Notice this misunderstood text.

”When your days (The days of David) are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14 I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 2Samuel 7:12–14

The broad vast majority of Believers today, Covenant Keeping and Non-Covenant Keeping, believe this text is speaking of Yeshua, the Messiah, the one the world knows as Jesus, the Christ. There is no way what so ever this text is speaking of Christ. This single statement, “When he commits iniquity” eliminates Yeshua from being the one spoken of in this text. Yeshua committed no iniquity in the flesh, nor did men ever rightly chasten him for doing so.

Now is this text speaking of David’s direct son, Solomon. Notice the words, “and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever”. Look around. Show me the Kingdom of Solomon which has endured forever. If you attempt to show me the middle eastern state of Israel, which should actually be called Edom, then you just don’t know scripture or history.

No, this text is speaking of the post Ezekiel 38 situation of America and the regeneration of King David in the flesh as the represented King over the people of Israel, under the King of Kings, the very One who died on the stake, 2K years ago, the God of the old testament, YHWH. The House that is to be built is the coming government of The Kingdom of YHWH and it is to be built right here in America, the true intended promised land of scripture.
