How Covenant Protection Works: Proxy Salvation from David to Joseph Smith and How This Relates to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. How does divine protection work in scripture—and why does it sometimes flow through righteous servants rather than directly to individuals? How can understanding covenant theology help us understand the latter-day gathering of Israel and the Second Coming of Christ? In this video, we explore the biblical pattern of proxy protection using the framework of ancient Near Eastern suzerain–vassal covenants, drawing on the scholarship of Avraham Gileadi and key Restoration scriptures. In this conversation, we discuss the Come Follow Me transition from the Doctrine and Covenants to the Old Testament, focusing on the concept of covenant proxy protection as a bridge. We explore how one righteous individual can protect their family and community through their covenant relationship with God. The discussion includes insights on the Kirtland Temple, the role of Joseph Smith in restoring covenants, and the significance of the Family Proclamation. We emphasize the importance of understanding covenant language in scripture and how it relates to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. We connect: 2 Samuel 7:8–16 — the Davidic covenant and proxy kingship 1 Samuel 24:11, 16 — father–son covenant language between Saul and David Doctrine and Covenants 109:57–76 — the Kirtland Temple prayer and its covenant structure The Family: A Proclamation to the World 2015 Sabbath Day Observance Training We’ll look closely at D&C 109:68–72, where Joseph Smith and Emma Smith are named first, followed by: Successor presidents of the Church The Church and their immediate connections Ultimately, the world Using biblical examples—from Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, and Hezekiah—we show how scripture consistently teaches that those who cannot obtain divine protection by their own righteousness may receive it through a righteous proxy, within the limits of covenant stewardship. This pattern: Explains Davidic kingship and Zion theology Clarifies the role of prophets as the Lord’s servants (not substitutes for Christ) Preserves Jesus Christ as the ultimate and eternal proxy Helps us read modern revelation in harmony with the Bible and Isaiah If you’re studying Isaiah, covenant theology, the Davidic covenant, or Doctrine & Covenants 109, this framework brings remarkable clarity.
