Christ's Throne

Biblical prophecy has been perfectly fulfilled or is awaiting its final fulfillment. But rest assured that everything will take place precisely as the Bible has stated it. Every promise and every prophetic Word of God is true.

August's Message, Day 20:

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this. Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV

This is Christ's Millennial rule on earth after His second coming, the Glorious Appearing. Biblical prophecy often merges events seemingly together even though in actuality they are separated by immense amounts of time. Christ was born and was the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. That was the purpose of His first coming. At His second coming, He appears as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the King of kings and Lord of lords, and sets up His earthly Kingdom continuing in the line of the throne of David. This will be His Millennial rule on earth and then following will come the new heaven and the new earth. Christ's rule will be eternal, beginning on earth and continuing into the New Jerusalem in the heavenly realms. What has been prophesied will be, it is simply on God's temporary hold till the time is right. The important thing for us to remember is that everything in Biblical prophecy has been perfectly fulfilled or is waiting to be perfectly fulfilled in the future. Rest assured though, that everything will take place precisely as the Bible has stated it.
