In the second book of Kings: "And the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in; but it shall be, when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall come from thy bowels, and I will make ready his kingdom. He shall build me an house in my name, and I will raise up his throne for ever; and I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to me for a son: and his house shall obtain confidence, and his kingdom for evermore in my sight." [3878] Also in the Gospel the Lord says: "There shall not be left in the temple one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down." [3879] And "After three days another shall be raised up without hands." [3880] Footnotes: [3878] 2 Samuel 7:4, 5, 12-16. [3879] Matthew 24:2. [3880] John 2:19; Mark 14:58. |
