The Old Testament has a few markers or mountain peeks that help us in understanding the entire message, big story or metanarrative of the Bible. One of them is 2 Samuel 7. This chapter points us back to Abraham, forward to Jesus, and declares that David’s throne and dynasty will be eternal.

Some of us have grown accustomed to thinking in terms of “Bible stories” – as in, the Bible is a collection of stories. That may be true at one level. At another level it is helpful to think in terms of “the Bible story,” that is, one continuous storyline from Genesis to Revelation.
