How do we know that Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promises to David?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises to David as the eternal King established by covenant.

God's promises to David, particularly those found in 2 Samuel 7, highlight the eternal nature of His covenant. While David served as a type of Christ, the true fulfillment lies in Jesus, who is showered with promises that extend beyond earthly kingship. Acts 2:30 indicates that David knew his own prophecies pointed to a greater King, implicating that Christ is the ultimate heir to David's throne. The detailed description of Christ as the anointed King in 2 Samuel illustrates how Jesus embodies every aspect of the eternal covenant made with David.
