Scoring / Hypothesis Pressure
| Hypothesis | log10BF | Min | Max | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
H-CHRIST-AS-LOGOS | 0.03 | 0 | 0.06 | The promise-to-fulfillment arc gives small support to canonical Logos synthesis, capped against broader narrative-arc rows. |
H-CHRIST-IDENTITY | 0.07 | 0.03 | 0.11 | The Davidic covenant is central messianic background and supports Jesus-as-Davidic-heir coherence, but remains an internal canonical frame rather than external proof. |

Counter-Pressure
- title
- Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7) — Prophecy & Fulfillment framing is a bounded signal, not a standalone proof.
- text
- The strongest caution is overuse. Original context, typology, ambiguity, and postdiction concerns must stay visible. This row should be read inside its dependency family, not treated as an isolated demonstration of God, Christ, or the final synthesis.
- path
- Start with what the row actually shows, then name what it does not show. Use it cumulatively. Do not make a single prophecy carry the whole Christian claim.
Apologetic Note
- label
- Apologetic leverage
- title
- Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7) - Prophecy & Fulfillment framing belongs to disciplined convergence.
- key point
- 2 Samuel 7 is a Davidic-covenant coherence row. The positive signal is not proof-text magic. It is the convergence of original context, later reception, and the Christ-shaped pattern of king, servant, suffering, vindication, and kingdom.
- conversation move
- Read the passage in its own setting first. Then ask why the Jesus story repeatedly lands where Israel's Scriptures had already taught readers to look.
- caveat
- Do not erase Jewish readings or pretend every prophecy is simple. The clue is bounded by genre, context, and the wider canonical field.
Scripture Passage

Caveats / Notes
- Cap notes
- Messianic prophecy is split into governed subfamilies so distinct text families do not collapse into one global prophecy datum.
- Cluster note
- Davidic covenant row migrated away from H-ALT-LEGEND proxy scoring. Small internal canonical-coherence support only.
- Scoring note
- Davidic covenant row migrated away from H-ALT-LEGEND proxy scoring. Small internal canonical-coherence support only.
- Governance note
- Stage 3 prophecy subfamily split; hard duplicate prophecy rows remain hidden/context only.
