Psalm 7:11

[JD731]

Galatians 3:6-9. 'Just as Abraham "Believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness," therefore know that those who are of faith, they are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed." So then , those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.'
Galatians 3:16. Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one. "And to your Seed," who is Christ.' The promises are not to unbelievers, whether Jew or Gentile.
Galatians 4:24-28, 31. ''For these [Sarah and Hagar] are two covenants: the one from MOunt Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar -- for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which is now, and is in bondage with her children, but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. As it is written: "Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labour! For the desolate has many more children that she who has a husband." Now we, bethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise ....... So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.'
Believers are the children of promise, and the heirs, not of the Jerusalem which is in bondage with her children, but of that Jerusalem which is free, whether they be Jewish, Caucasian, Arab or of any other ethnicity. See Ephesians 2:11-22.

Just a short brief here. When Paul is dealing with the "promise" he is dealing with the very last of the 12 parts of the Abrahamic covenant. All the other parts deals with physical promises such as a family, a land, a nation etc.. You can read it for yourself. I posted much of the covenant earlier. But the manner of keeping the promise that in his Seed, his one greater Seed, which is Jesus Christ we all will be blessed when we receive the gift of the Spirit to give us a new spiritual birth. We are not made the physical sons of Abraham and this part of the Abrahamic covenant is all that applies to gentiles. The reason it is said we are a son of Abraham is because Abraham is the father of faith in a miraculous son. There was a monumental transition in history when the obedient and faithful Abraham believed that his son through a too old Sarah would be born This son, like all sons that prefigure Jesus Christ is the second born in keeping with the type of being born of the flesh and of the Spirit. Ishmael, born of the flesh and Isaac, born of God, a miracle. All that are born of the Spirit by faith in Christ are sons of God.

Just so you know that the new birth does not disannul all the promises of God to Israel and those who are saved still maintains their identity, check these two passages out.

Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image of] Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant (of Israel) according to the election of grace.

The point. Paul still identifies as a Jew and with the remnant 20 years after being saved.

Spoken during the last week of the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion.
Mt 19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last [shall be] first.

Eph 2:18 For through him we both (Jew & gentiles) have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye (gentiles) are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

The church of Jesus Christ, the temple of the Holy Ghost, sits on a Jewish foundation.

Martin, I am in a constant state of growing in my understanding. I think I am correct about these things but also realized that I could have miner details wrong and as I get more light I will certainly adapt. But I cringe at the thought of leading anyone astray. That is why I have given a lot ao thought to these things before I write them.

May the Lord be pleased with my exaltation of his wonderful person and salvation.

@JD731,
Thank you for your thoughtful post (parts of which I can definitely agree with) and especially for your closing paragraphs.
In accordance with the sentiments expressed, I will not answer straight away, but give the matter some more prayerful consideration with a view to coming back later tonight or sometime tomorrow.

 

[Martin Marprelate]

Just a short brief here. When Paul is dealing with the "promise" he is dealing with the very last of the 12 parts of the Abrahamic covenant. All the other parts deals with physical promises such as a family, a land, a nation etc.. You can read it for yourself. I posted much of the covenant earlier. But the manner of keeping the promise that in his Seed, his one greater Seed, which is Jesus Christ we all will be blessed when we receive the gift of the Spirit to give us a new spiritual birth.

I believe that the whole of the covenant with Abraham is a 'covenant of promise' (c.f. Eph. 2:12). There are multiple places in the N.T. where God's dealings with Abraham are described as 'promises.' (Acts 7:5; Rom 4:12; 9:4-9; Gal 3:5-29; 4:28; Heb 6:13-20; 11:9, 13, 17). The promises are ‘in Christ’ (Gal 3:17 NKJV. cf. 2 Cor. 1:20) as well as ‘of Christ’ (Gal. 3:16); that is, they refer to Christ and are for those who are His by faith.

My understanding of the covenants is as follows: Two covenants transacted between God and a Covenant or Representative head. These are the so-called Covenant of Works made with Adam, and the Covenant of Grace made with Christ.

Four covenants of Promise (cf. Eph 2:12 ). These are the covenants with Adam (Gen 3:15-21 ), with Noah, with Abraham and with David. These are covenants with individuals, purely gracious, and having reference to a coming ‘Seed.’

Two covenants made between God and a people: the Old (or ‘First’ or ‘Mosaic’) Covenant and the New Covenant. One is made with reference to the law, the other with reference to faith. The New Covenant is discovered to be nothing else but the Covenant of Grace revealed and realized and the consummation of all the covenants (Col 1:26; Heb 13:20. cf. Exod 2:24; Psalm 111:5; Ezek 16:60-61; Luke 1:72 ).

We are not made the physical sons of Abraham and this part of the Abrahamic covenant is all that applies to gentiles.

I don't believe this is so, inasmuch as unbelievers, whether Jew or Gentile, are not in the covenant with Abraham. 'For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but "In Isaac shall your seed be called." Tht is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed' (Romans 9:6-8). Now this is not so-called 'replacement theology,' it's 'inclusion theology.' '... That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the Gospel (Eph. 3:6). There is now only one people of God - believing Jew and believing Gentile. 'For through Him we both [Jew and Gentile believers] have access by one Spirit to the Father' (Eph. 2:18).

The reason it is said we are a son of Abraham is because Abraham is the father of faith in a miraculous son. There was a monumental transition in history when the obedient and faithful Abraham believed that his son through a too old Sarah would be born This son, like all sons that prefigure Jesus Christ is the second born in keeping with the type of being born of the flesh and of the Spirit. Ishmael, born of the flesh and Isaac, born of God, a miracle. All that are born of the Spirit by faith in Christ are sons of God.

Just so you know that the new birth does not disannul all the promises of God to Israel and those who are saved still maintains their identity, check these two passages out.

5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant (of Israel) according to the election of grace.

The point. Paul still identifies as a Jew and with the remnant 20 years after being saved.

Yes, I agree with this, and in Romans 11, Paul is talking about ethnic Jews. There is abundant grace for Jews just as there is for Gentiles. I long to see the Jews and the Arabs reconciled, and the only way I can see that happening is through Jesus Christ That is the 'peace of Jerusalem' that I pray for. Looking at the latter part of Romans 11, I think it is very likely that there will be a revival (if that's the right word) among the Jews in Israel. But it will be on exactly the same basis as anywhere else: through repentance, and faith in Christ.

Spoken during the last week of the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion.
Mt 19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last [shall be] first.

The apostles were followers of Christ. Followers of our Lord will judge angels (1 Cor. 6:3); we will be reigning with Christ. But there is another side to this. Luke 13:28. "There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. Thhey will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south [I take these to be the Gentiles], and sit down in the kingdom of God. And indeed, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.

Eph 2:18 For through him we both (Jew & gentiles) have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye (gentiles) are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

The church of Jesus Christ, the temple of the Holy Ghost, sits on a Jewish foundation.

Inasmuch as the Lord Jesus was Jewish through His mother, and the apostles were Jewish, I quite agree.

Martin, I am in a constant state of growing in my understanding. I think I am correct about these things but also realized that I could have miner details wrong and as I get more light I will certainly adapt. But I cringe at the thought of leading anyone astray. That is why I have given a lot ao thought to these things before I write them.

May the Lord give both of us wisdom in these matters.

May the Lord be pleased with my exaltation of his wonderful person and salvation.

Amen!

 

[JD731]

...

So, there is somewhere the Bible says that Jesus will govern His people Israel, in the future?
...

Yes, I refer you to the Davidic Covenant which is in 2 Samuel 7 and following. Psalm 89 is a Psalm about this covenant, every word. I will first quote a couple of things the psalmist says about it from that great Psalm.

3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 Thy seed (the single seed) will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

This is not about David, it is about David's throne and the Lord GOD who will sit on it ruling a converted Israel and world.

25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

Now pay attention to this:

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

I encourage you to read the whole Psalm and to believe it.

Now, to 2 Samuel 7 when the Covenant was given to David.

4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,
5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

David's seed is Jesus Christ.

One other thing; It is well established from Gen 15:1 to the end of the NT that the title ("the word of the LORD) is a title for our Lord Jesus Christ. Also take note that his name in this passage is the Lord GOD (Adonay Jehovah). This name and title is used of him in both testaments.

 

[Alan Dale Gross]

I cannot emphasize enough that we must allow words to have meaning and context in the scriptures.

I'm trying to get an idea of how "we must allow words to have meaning and context in the scriptures" relate to the conclusions you reach.

So, there is somewhere the Bible says that Jesus will govern His people Israel, in the future?

Where is Jesus in your 2 Samuel 7 and Psalm 89 passages said to be going to Rule on Earth over His people Israel, in the future?

I refer you to the Davidic Covenant which is in 2 Samuel 7 and following. Psalm 89 is a Psalm about this covenant, every word.

There is a Covenant God Made with David.

3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 Thy seed (the single seed) will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

Amen.

I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

David.

This is not about David

How could you say that, when the Bible says "David"?

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him

David.

it is about David's throne and the Lord GOD who will sit on it

Right.

ruling a converted Israel and world.

These words are what are missing from the text.

Jesus? Ruling? a converted? Israel? and world? as if from on Earth?

I don't see it anywhere in you scriptures quoted.

 

[Alan Dale Gross]

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Jesus' Throne will Endure Forever, in Heaven, as this verses says, "as a faithful witness in Heaven." And that's how "we must allow words to have meaning and context in the scriptures".

8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

This is speaking of David.

I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

The Throne Promise​

God promises king David, "Your house and your kingdom shall endure before you forever. Your throne will be established forever" (2Samuel 7:16).

Peter, centuries later, preached about this Promise. He claims that David understood the Promise to refer to the Christ Who, after His Death and Resurrection, would Sit on the Throne and Rule from Heaven (Acts 2:22-36, Revelation 20:4,6). That's if, we "allow words to have meaning and context in the scriptures".

David's seed is Jesus Christ.

Right. And the Promise to David that his Throne would be Established Forever, was Fulfilled when Jesus Ascended to His Throne in Heaven, Forever.

 

[Alan Dale Gross]

One other thing; It is well established from Gen 15:1 to the end of the NT that the title ("the word of the LORD) is a title for our Lord Jesus Christ. Also take note that his name in this passage is the Lord GOD (Adonay Jehovah). This name and title is used of him in both testaments.

Right, but there is no teaching that the Throne of David over the people of Israel in Jerusalem can be interpolated into simply guessing that Jesus' Throne would have anything to do with this present Earth, just because David's was on Earth, because Jesus' Throne is taught to us that He has been Sitting on it, in Heaven, ever since He Ascended, as we saw in Acts 2:22-35 (& Revelation 4, 20:4,6, etc.)

22; "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a Man Approved of God among you by Miracles and Wonders and Signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

23; "Him, being Delivered by the Determinate Counsel and Foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have Crucified and Slain:

24; "Whom God hath Raised Up, having Loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be Holden of it."

"Whom God Raised Up",.... From the dead; for though His Life was taken away by men, He was Raised to Life again by God the Father, to Whom the Resurrection of Christ is generally ascribed, though not to the exclusion of Christ Himself, and the Blessed Spirit.

This was what the apostles were witnesses of, and the Jews endeavored to stifle as much as they could, Jesus' Resurrection being the sign Christ gave them of the Truth of His Messiahship; and this being also a Fundamental Article of the Christian Religion.

25; "For David speaketh concerning Him, I Foresaw the Lord always before My Face, for He is on My Right Hand, that I should not be moved:"

David spoke concerning The Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, in Psalm 16:8. The whole Psalm belongs to the Messiah, and everything concerning the Person in it agrees with Him.

Christ always had Jehovah in View throughout His Whole Life.

26; "Therefore did My Heart Rejoice, and My Tongue was glad; moreover also My flesh Shall Rest in Hope:"

27; "Because thou wilt not leave My Soul in hell (the grave), neither wilt thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption (in the grave).

28; "Thou hast made known to Me the Ways of Life; Thou shalt make Me Full of Joy with Thy Countenance.

29; "Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

30; "Therefore being a Prophet, and knowing that God had Sworn with an oath to him, that of the Fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, He would Raise Up Christ to Sit on His Throne;

31; "He seeing this before spake of the Resurrection of Christ, that His Soul was not left in hell, neither His Flesh did see Corruption.

32; "This Jesus hath God Raised Up, whereof we all are witnesses.

33; "Therefore being by the Right Hand of God Exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

34; "For David is not Ascended into the Heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on My Right Hand,

The words said to the Incarnate Word of God by Jehovah, were said in God's Mind, in His Eternal Purpose and Decree, which Jesus, Lying in His Bosom, was Privy, when God Foreordained Jesus to be the Redeemer.

And in the Council and Covenant of Peace, when the Father Promised Jesus this Glory as the Reward of His Sufferings.

God Foreordained Jesus to be the Redeemer.

And the Father Promised Jesus this Glory in His Heavenly Reign as the Reward of His Sufferings.

Also in the Prophecies of the Old Testament spoke of the Sufferings of Christ, but also spoke of the Glory that should follow, Forever, in Heaven.

And when the fact was done, when, after Jesus' Death, Resurrection, Ascension, and Entrance into Heaven, Jesus was Placed where God Told Him, when He said,

"Sit Thou at My Right Hand"; of Power and Majesty.

Expressive of the Honor done to Christ, and the Glory put on Him, it being always accounted honorable to sit at the right hand of great personages, 1 Kings 2:19, and also of rule, and power, and authority.

Jesus being upon the same Throne with His Father, Exercising the same Government over angels and men; "Sitting" is explained by "Reigning" as in 1 Corinthians 15:25.

It also denotes Jesus having done His Work, and to Satisfaction; and therefore is Set Down, being Entered into His Rest, and having Ceased from His Work and Labor, Enjoying the Presence of His Divine Father; in which is Fulness of Joy, and at Whose Right Hand are Pleasures Forevermore: and it also signifies the continuance of Regal Honor and Power; Jesus Sits and Continues a King as well as a Priest Forever,

...with no mention in any of these Promises of God and Accomplishments by Jesus having anything to do with a Reign on Earth, anywhere at all, and/or for any given length of time.

That is, if "we must allow words to have meaning and context in the scriptures".

35; "Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

Jesus Will be Reigning in Heaven, until the Father Makes His enemies His Footstool, at which Time Jesus Will Return in Final Judgment upon the unbelieving World, which is the End of Time on Earth, when Jesus Separates the sheep from the goats, and the saints enter into living in the New Heaven and New Earth.

36; "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath Made that same Jesus, Whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ."

God has Made Jesus both Lord and Christ and Taken Him to Sit on His Throne, at His Right Hand, being by the Right Hand of God Exalted, in Heaven.

There is a Covenant God Made with David.


Amen.


David.


How could you say that, when the Bible says "David"?


David.


Right.


These words are what are missing from the text.

Jesus? Ruling? a converted? Israel? and world? as if from on Earth?

I don't see it anywhere in you scriptures quoted.

This will be my last post to you on this subject lest I be perceived to argue. I am preaching the truth, not arguing it. It is understood that you will not receive it, which is fine. I can only present the truth, I cannot make anyone believe it.

This is the last point I will make to you about kingdom.

This is not about David

How could you say that, when the Bible says "David"?

Because I am told to.

Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all [ye] that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 Men [and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
David is a type of Christ in his office as King of Israel, and is a parallel.

Acts 3:17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did [it], as [did] also your rulers.
18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, [that] every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Jesus Christ fills 3 offices in his incarnation.
1) He is the perfect Prophet after the pattern of Moses (see above)
2 He is then the perfect Priest after the Pattern of Aaron (He is on the throne of the Father making intercession for us now).
3) He is the Perfect King after the pattern of David. (soon to appear to claim his throne).

To deny the Kingship of Jesus Christ is to deny the prophecies of the OT concerning this man, beginning with the Abrahamic Covenant.

Thank you for considering these things Alan Gross. I wish you could believe.
