That the Gentiles had a part in the prophecies of old regarding David's seed and Kingdom and was fulfilled through Christ resurrection is seen in the Fact that the Gospel that Paul preached, who was specifically a Chosen ambassador to the gentiles 2 tim 1:



11Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.



included the fact that Jesus Christ according to the flesh was of the seed of David. 2 tim 2:



8Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:



rom 1:



1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,



2(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)



3Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;



Paul says in this roman passage that this Gospel and of God's, is to the jew first and also to the greek or gentile The same Gospel !



This is also Illustrated in acts 13 where paul had addressed some jews with the gospel observe:



13Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.



14But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.



15And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.



16Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.



17The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.



18And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.



19And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.



20And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.



21And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.



22And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.



23Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:



24When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.



25And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.



26Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.



27For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.



28And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.



29And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.



30But God raised him from the dead:



31And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.



32And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,



33God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.



34And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.



35Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.



36For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:



37But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.



38Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:



39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.



40Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;



41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.



Now, look at what the gentiles asked Paul in vs 42



42And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.



You see how God moved the hearts of these gentiles to hear the very same words [ to include the sure mercies of David] and the promise to the Fathers the next sabbath ? Thats because there had been a spiritual application of those words to those gentiles that stirred them up spiritually to have them preached to them again !



Because the same Gospel, the same words, had their relevance to jew first, and also the greek or gentile.



Both jew and gentile had a spiritual interest in the sure mercies of David; This is why the apostle peter connected the resurrection of Christ with the fulfillment of the promises made to David acts 2:



24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.



25For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:



26Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:



27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.



28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.



29Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.



30Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;



31He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
