Acts 2:30

30. A prophet In the sense both of speaking by inspiration and of predicting the future.

An oath In 2 Samuel 7:5-16, God promises to David a successorship on the throne forever; in <19D211>Psalms 132:11, David affirms that God had so sworn; both in consequence of David’s determination to build a house for Jehovah.

Fruit of his loins Peter speaks as if it was, as it were, through his line of descent that David was able to look prophetically as through a line of light. Thereby he identifies himself with his great descendant the Messiah, and speaks in Psalm xvi as Messiah himself. The best reading, instead of he would raise Christ to sit on his throne, would substitute, that of the fruit of his loins One should sit on his throne. With that future One Peter now (in Acts 2:32) identifies Jesus.
