Christ On The Throne Of David

Christ On The Throne Of David

THRONE: ISBE, Vol.5, pg2976 1) the exalted position of earthly kings, rulers, judges, etc., their rule, majesty and power. 2) The majesty and power of Jehovah as the true king of Israel. 3) The rule of the promised theocratic king (the Messiah), its everlasting glory and righteousness. 4) the matchless glory, the transcendent power and absolute sovereignty of God.

compare: the "seat of Moses" Mtt.23:1-2;

THRONE = SOVEREIGN POWER AND DIGNITY, RULE AND EXALTED POSITION

1. Christ has all authority and power NOW, ruling over all nations including Israel, Mt. 28:18-19.

2. He is above all rule and authority and power NOW, Eph. 1:20-22.

3. Acts 2:36, Jesus = LORD ( a ruler), let Israel KNOW IT

4. CHRIST ON DAVID'S THRONE, FROM Ps. 110:1,

a. Acts 2:30-31, this spoke of the RESURRECTION!!!!

b. HAS BEEN FULFILLED.

1. Christ raised, 32

2. to right hand of God, 33

3. exalted, 33

5. received promise 34

WHAT PROMISE:THE ONE MADE TO DAVID, THAT GOD WOULD RAISE UP ONE (the resurrection) TO SIT UPON HIS THRONE.

6. FULFILLED IN CHRIST, 36.

SINCE CHRIST WAS TO BE RAISED TO SIT ON DAVID'S THRONE, THIS FOREVER DESTROYS THE CONTENTION THAT BECAUSE THE JEWS REJECTED HIM, GOD "postponed" THE KINGDOM.

1. Christ had to be rejected to be crucified.

2. Christ had to be crucified to be raised.

3. Christ had to be raised to sit on David's throne.

THE THRONE OF DAVID WAS TO BE GIVEN ONLY AFTER HIS REJECTION AND RESURRECTION!!!

ALL THE SAME THRONE, GOD'S, DAVID'S, SOLOMON'S, CHRIST'S

1 Kgs.1:46-48, Solomon sat on David's throne

1 Chron. 29:23; Solomon sat on the LORD'S THRONE, BUT HE SAT ON BOTH AT SAME TIME, THEY ARE THE SAME THING. CHRIST IS ON THE LORD'S THRONE (Rev.3:21) HE IS ALSO ON DAVID'S. .

CHRIST TO BE ON DAVID'S THRONE WHILE DAVID IN TOMB. 2 Sam. 7:12-16.

THIS fulfilled in Acts 2:

a. the promise of David's throne, 30-33

b. David in tomb, 27

c. David in tomb, 29

d. the promise was HIS (David's)throne, 30

e. Christ has been exalted and received the promise,

f. DAVID STILL IN TOMB. 34.

THIS CAN NOT BE FULFILLED IN 2nd COMING.

Christ to reign till all enemies made his footstool, Acts 2:34
The last enemy to be conquered = death,lCor.15:26
DEATH IS DESTROYED AT 2nd COMING, Jn. 5:28-29
DAVID WILL THEN BE RAISED, HENCE CHRIST CAN NOT THEN SIT ON DAVID'S THRONE .

IF HE IS NOT NOW ON DAVID'S THRONE, HE NEVER WILL BE.

a. Christ is "priest" NOW" Heb. 4:14.
