Verse 7
He would be the final king whose reign would result in increasing peace forever. Most governments increase through war, but this one would grow through peace. He would be an eschatological figure, yet He would be a Davidic king-the perfect Davidic descendant who would accomplish for Israel all God intended in justice and righteousness (cf. 2 Samuel 7:12-17). This would happen because Yahweh of armies Himself would bring it to pass for the welfare of His people (cf. Isaiah 37:32). It is, therefore, certain of fulfillment.
"’The throne of David’ is an expression as definite, historically, as ’the throne of the Caesars,’ and does not admit of spiritualizing (Luke 1:32-33)." [Note: The New Scofield . . ., p. 721. ]
Amillennialists spiritualize the throne of David by referring it either to the church or heaven.
