God declared that someone from the house of David would sit on David’s throne and rule over his kingdom forever. “He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end” (Luke 1:32-33 NKJV).
Now for this to happen, Israel must exist as a nation – it does. David’s descendant must be alive – he is. Jesus Christ must return to earth – he will. He must bodily and literally sit on David’s throne and reign over Israel. Mark it down, my friend. At some point in the future, Jesus—the “Son of the Highest”—will rule over Israel and the world from David’s throne in Jerusalem. I cannot wait to see it.
