King David ... Where Does He Fit In God's Purpose?

So is your head spinning around in covenants? Shall I throw another one in?

Sure ... you can handle it. Watch!

Remember, the questions are:

Will the Messianic Kingdom ever become corrupt?
Will this Kingdom government need to be replaced?

The simple answer is "no".

Why not?

Because Jehovah God made another covenant to insure that this won't happen.

The Messiah’s rule will never become corrupt, and the benefits that come from his rule will be/last forever because Christ's death and ransom provided that security.

But before this took place, Jehovah made a promise to King David of ancient Israel called the Davidic covenant. 2 Samuel 7:12, 16.

Jehovah promised that the Messiah would be one of David's descendants. Luke 1:30-33.

In this way, Jehovah gave more specific information about the family line of the Messiah. He said that this descendant of David would have "legal right" to be King of the Messianic Kingdom.  Ezekiel 21:25-27.

David’s kingship will rule forever because Jesus, the descendant of David, "will endure forever; his throne will endure like the sun." Psalm 89:34-37.

Do you see the sun going anywhere?

So we can be confident that the Messiah’s rule will never become corrupt and that the benefits that result from it will last forever!

How do you feel about that? ... Talk about a secure future.

Okay, so again ... the Abrahamic covenant and the Davidic covenant guarantee that the offspring of the woman would rule as a king.

But in order for all mankind to fully benefit, the offspring would need to be more than just a king. The offspring would also need to be a priest.

Do you want to know why? ... Well, I'll tell you Monday anyway :-)
