1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:9
And I have provided a permanent homeland for my people Israel, a secure place where they will never be disturbed. It will be their own land where wicked nations won't oppress them as they did in the past,
1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:10
from the time I appointed judges to rule my people. And I will subdue all your enemies. " 'And now I declare that the Lord will build a house for you—a dynasty of kings!
1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:11
For when you die, I will raise up one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.
1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:12
He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for me. And I will establish his throne forever.
1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:13
I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my unfailing love from him as I took it from Saul, who ruled before you.
1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:14
I will establish him over my dynasty and my kingdom for all time, and his throne will be secure forever.' "
Now, lets us come to understand the verse 9
"And I have provided a permanent homeland for my people Israel, a secure place where they will never be disturbed. It will be their own land where wicked nations won't oppress them as they did in the past,"
Note that Israel was not conquered or looking for a land at this moment. David was the king. This should lead to the next question, "𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙙?"
Look at Colossians 1
𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 1:21
This includes you who were once so far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions,
𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 1:22
yet now he has brought you back as his friends. He has done this through his death on the cross in his own human body. As a result, he has brought you 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙, and 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙃𝙞𝙢, 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲
Now the next question would be "𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙?"
Lets go further into Colossians
𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 2:9
For in Christ the fullness of God lives in a human body,
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁. 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱
1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:12
He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for me. And I will establish his throne forever.
Lets look at John 2 vs 19-22
𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:19
"All right," Jesus replied. " Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. "
𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:20 "What!" they exclaimed. "It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can do it in three days?"
𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:21But by "this temple," Jesus meant his body.
𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:22 After he was raised from the dead, the disciples remembered that he had said this. And they believed both Jesus and the Scriptures.
Now, the Temple is where the prescence or the fullness of God dwells in. Look at Colossians
𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 1:19 For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ,
𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 2:9 For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱. 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲.
𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 2:10
and you are complete through your union with Christ. He is the Lord over every ruler and authority in the universe.
Through the finished work of Jesus, we have one with Christ. Hence the verse, as Apolstle Paul said
1 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 3:16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁, 𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱
𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗱!
