God said that a descendant from David’s own body would build His house. Through the prophet Nathan, He promised David that his offspring would build a house for His name.

The correct answer is B. A descendant from David’s own body. When David expressed his desire to build a house for the Lord, God spoke to him through the prophet Nathan. As recorded in 2 Samuel 7:12-13, the Lord promised: "When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for My name." While this prophecy was partially fulfilled in his son Solomon, who built the physical Temple in Jerusalem, it is also a Messianic prophecy referring to Jesus Christ, the Son of David, who established the True Church as the house of God.
