What is the historical Christian view on the rebuilding of David's Tabernacle?
score:3
I think if you read Acts 15:15 you'll see James' perspective on the fulfillment of this prophecy.
Acts 15:15
And this conversion of Gentiles is exactly what the prophets predicted. As it is written:
So read together I think we can make some logical conclusions.
Acts 15:15-18
15 And this conversion of Gentiles is exactly what the prophets predicted. As it is written:
16 ‘Afterward I will return and restore the fallen house of David. I will rebuild its ruins and restore it,
17 so that the rest of humanity might seek the Lord, including the Gentiles— all those I have called to be mine. The Lord has spoken—
18 he who made these things known so long ago.’
God says through Amos that He will return and restore the fallen house (or tabernacle) of David. So that the rest of humanity can be saved (called his). So if James is saying that the second half of this prophecy is coming true through the Gentiles who were being saved at his time, then it seems to follow logically that the first half of this is already true. Then how was David's house restored? While I don't have sources to back me up I think it's pretty safe to put forward that it was Jesus who restored the house of David.
Mathew 1:1 calls Jesus a son of David:
This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:
And there are numerous other places where Jesus is referred to as the Son of David.
Luke 1:32 might be the best example in this case:
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,
I believe based on this that Jesus has already fulfilled this prophecy. I don't know if that answers your question on the historic Christian teaching, but it does appear to be what James taught.
