House

  
White House at Night by Vincent van Gogh

A "house" is essentially a container -- for a person, a family, several families or even a large group with shared interests (think of the term "houses of worship.") In the Bible, a "house" is also a container, but for spiritual things rather than natural things. In various uses a "house" can represent part of the mind, the whole mind, a whole person or even a church. The other nuance to the word "house" is that it is generally used in regards to our affections and desires rather than our thoughts and principles. This makes sense; we tend to engage our thoughts and rationality when we are out in the world doing our work, but when we are inside our houses we are driven most by love for our families and the desire to be good to those we love. So "house" tends to represent the things we want and care about -- which are ultimately the things that define us.

43. The Lord is called David. This is apparent from the following:

...in that day...they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them. (Jeremiah 30:8-9)

Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek Jehovah their God and David their king, and they shall come with reverence to Jehovah and to His goodness at the end of days. (Hosea 3:5)

I will raise up one shepherd over them, and he shall give them pasture — My servant David. He shall give them pasture and become their shepherd. And I, Jehovah, will become their God, and...David a prince among them. (Ezekiel 34:23-24)

...that they may become My people, and I become their God. David My servant shall be king over them, that they may all have one shepherd.... Then they shall dwell upon the land..., they, their children, and their children’s children, even to eternity; and...David shall be their prince to eternity. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant.... (Ezekiel 37:23-26)

I will make an everlasting covenant with you — the sure mercies of David. Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, a prince and a lawgiver for the nations. (Isaiah 55:3-4)

On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and close up its fractures; I will restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old. (Amos 9:11)

...the house of David shall be like God, like an angel of Jehovah before them. (Zechariah 12:8)

In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David.... (Zechariah 13:1)
