Resumo
Messianic hope in the Old Testament has been a debated topic. R. E. Clements states that “virtually all of the major books on Old Testament theology say very little about such messianic hope and, even when they do, do so in a very guarded and circumscribed way.” Despite Clement’s negative assessment, this paper argues for the presence of messianic hope in biblical prophets based on their allusions to the Davidic covenant (1 Sam. 7:1-17). Due to space limitations, this paper will restrict itself to a theological study of the prophetic literature, arguing that a canonical reading of the text indicates the expectation of a future king who would restore David's kingdom.
