1. Verses 1-2 issue three invitations to "come."
a. Who is to come and where? Everyone who thirsts--to the waters.
b. Who is to come, buy and eat? He who has no money.
c. What else are they to buy? Milk and wine
d. How are they to pay? Everything's free.
They are to delight themselves in rich foods.
2. To whom are they to come? What prompts them to do that? To God. God.
3. What will be the future of those who come? Their souls shall live. They will inherit an everlasting covenant.
4. Link God's covenant with David (verse 3b) to verses 4-5. God made a covenant with David. He was a witness and leader. God says "You shall call a nation you do not know because of the Lord God
Nathan tells David that his house will be made sure forever,his throne established forever. 2 Samuel 7:16-17
The psalmist recounts how God has established David's kingdom and throne forever. -Psalm 89:1-4
Luke 1:30-33--The angel's prophecy to Mary is that God will give her son David's throne forever and he will rule over the house of Jacob and his kingdom will have no end.
Acts 13:34 "I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David."
Some interpreters say the “everlasting covenant” refers to the New Covenant (Jer_32:40; Heb_13:20). That is possible but the reference to David points to the Davidic Covenant, which also is said to last forever (2Sa_7:16). Just as God promised to keep His good hand on David, so He assured those who come to Him that He will never remove His good hand (His blessings) from them. He will always be with them and consider them His people.
