David
will be in the kingdom, resurrected, but I believe
that Jesus is supposed to sit on that throne:)
(The following is what I used
to believe a number of years ago, that I thought
showed that resurrected David will rule over Israel,
while Jesus rules over the rest of whole world:)
Ezekiel 34:11
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will
both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12 As a
shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is
among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out
my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places
where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark
day.
13 And
I will bring them out from the people, and gather them
from the countries, and will bring them to their own
land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by
the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the
country.
23 And
I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall
feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them,
and he shall be their shepherd.
24 And
I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a
prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
(However,
David's throne will not again be empty, or unoccupied,
as it had been for so many centuries, a descendent of
David will sit upon it:)
Jeremiah 33:17
For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the
throne of the
house of Israel;
Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the
LORD, that I
will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall
reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and
justice in the earth.
(The
following scriptures show why I believe that it will
be Jesus sitting on David’s throne in the kingdom,
rather than David, himself:)
Psalms 132:11
The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he
will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy
throne.
Isaiah 9:6 For
unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and
the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty
God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of
the increase of his government and peace
there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to
order it, and to establish it with judgment and with
justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts will perform this.
Luke 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be
called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall
give unto him the throne of his father David
(Therefore, the term,
“David”, in Ezekiel 34:23-24, shown above, identifies
the one on that throne as the rightful offspring, of
the house and lineage of David.
The ten
tribes spoke that way to king Rehoboam, David’s
grandson:)
I Kings 12:16
So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not
unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What
portion have we in David? neither have we
inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O
Israel: now see to thine own
house, David.
So Israel departed unto their tents.
(That's why I don't think Ezekiel is saying
that the resurrected David will be on the throne, but
rather the root and offspring of David:)
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel
to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the
offspring of David, and the bright and
morning star.
Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto
me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of
David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to
loose the seven seals thereof.
Genesis 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from
Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until
Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of
the people be.
I Corinthians 15:25 For he must
reign,
till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded;
and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The
kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of
our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and
ever.
Matthew 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born
King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in
the east, and are come to worship him.
Matthew 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy
King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon
an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say
unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world:
Luke 19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King
that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven,
and glory in the highest.
John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put
it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
