Isaiah 7:14 (NASB95)

14 “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

2 Samuel 7:11–16 (NASB95)

11 even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. The Lord also declares to you that the Lord will make a house for you. 12 “When your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come forth from you, 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 a father to him and he will be a son to Me; when he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men, 15 but My lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 “Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”

Isaiah 9:6–7 (NASB95)

6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.

The preaching by Peter (Act2:22-42)

The proof (vv.25-32)

You can read Peter’s inspired interpretation (vv.29-32) and look at (2Sam7:12)

You can see the power (v.32)

And, you can see the conclusion drawn (vv.33-36)

Conclusion:

God has fulfilled the things promised through Jesus Christ that was recorded for us in the Old Testament. The law, the Psalms and the Prophets. (see Lk24:37, 44-47)

In Christ Jesus the following is revealed, realized (see Gal3:16, 4:4; Mt1:1ff, Rom1:4)

The Seed of woman protected through the ages

The Seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

The Seed of David was Jesus of Nazareth

In Jesus, David’s seed, the kingdom, the throne are eternally established (see Act2:33; Heb1:1-4)

In Jesus, the promised not proven spiritual seed that was eternally purpose to be a blessing to all men. God’s plan of redemption is found in no other person except Jesus (see Act4:12)
