DAVID'S DESIRE David compared his stately Palace with the Lord's Tent where the Ark of God was dwelling within curtains. He must have felt guilty and bad about it. In his mind he had conceived a plan to build his Lord the grandest, most spectacular temple in the world. This was his heart's desire.

He expressed this desire to his trusted counselor, the prophet Nathan who agreed with him. But the Lord had a different plan. The Lord did not want David to build a house to His Name since he had shed too much blood in the wars. He wanted Solomon the son of David to do it. This was conveyed to David by Nathan.

This is possible only when He takes to human flesh and shares His powers (John 14:12). All this is possible according to the plan and promises of God only if the Word becomes flesh in the physical Son of David. In order to fulfill this great plan of God, three comings of Christ are necessary.
