  2. Explication du texte

What does it mean for the LORD to have become the God of Israel?

2 Samuel 7:24 (NEG79)

24 Tu as affermi ton peuple d'Israël, pour qu'il soit ton peuple à toujours; et toi, Eternel, tu es devenu son Dieu.

The Lord alone is God. He rules over all, the Creator of heaven and earth. Even so, he has deemed the people of Israel to be his special chosen people who have the privilege of calling on him in prayer and meeting with him in worship. A people chosen from out of all the nations (see Deuteronomy 7:6–7). They are the Lord's permanent dynasty because he intends to keep them (see Leviticus 26:44–45; Deuteronomy 30:1–6).1 No one will snatch or take God’s people from him (see John 10:1–42).
