Will Jesus reign on David’s throne in Jerusalem?

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

What’s Your Question? for April 27, 2011

Amos prophesied that the tabernacle of David would be raised and Gentiles would participate in it (Amos 9:11,12). In the Jerusalem conference, James quoted this prophecy and said it was fulfilled in Gentiles being accepted into the Lord’s kingdom (Acts 15:13-17). An angel told Mary that her Son would reign on the throne of David, and His kingdom would have no end (Lk. 1:30-33). Peter said Jesus was raised from the dead to sit on the throne of David (Acts 2:29-32). When Jesus ascended to heaven, He was given the everlasting kingdom (Dan. 7:13,14; Heb. 12:28). Jesus is now our Priest (Heb. 5:5,6) and King (1 Tim. 6:13-16). When He comes again, He will deliver the kingdom to the Father and end His reign (1 Cor. 15:22-28). The Bible does not teach a future reign of Christ on earth.
