1 Thessalonians 2:13 "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."

9. Under The Head Nation
Zechariah 12:10:
“And I will
pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon
me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one
mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for his
firstborn.”
Joel
3:16:
“The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from
Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord
will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of
Israel.”
There is a King, and a Kingdom …
coming to this earth soon, which will have
dominion over
all the nations of the world.
This Kingdom shall be given to a
particular people … a
peculiar people …
“to the
people of the saints of the most High”:
“And the kingdom and dominion, and
the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given
to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.”
[Daniel 7:27]
There is something else we need to
see here.
The
nation of Israel is the most
hated nation on the face of the earth, and the
Jewish people are the most
hated people on the face of this whole earth.
Why is
this? I will tell you
why.
It has now
been a very long time since this following event has
occurred “in the sides of the north”.
Long before the
six millennia
of years of time, “the anointed cherub” fell [“till
iniquity was found in thee.” Ezekiel
28] [“I will be like
the most High.”
Isaiah 14].
Now, ever since that time, Satan,
once
“the
anointed cherub”, has only
spewed
vociferous hatred towards God, and
the
things of God.
Furthermore, Satan [the Devil] has utilized every possible
opportunity …
with a
continuous ever-increasing anger … to
destroy the Jews, and all the people of God.
The
epic scene for this stupendous warfare [in spiritual
wickedness] is seen in the book of Revelation chapter twelve.
We read in verse four:
“And his tail drew the third part of the stars
of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood
before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her
child as soon as it was born.” [Revelation 12:4]
See this thing
from the mind’s eye; the Devil
hates
“the
woman” [Israel],
because
the
Devil
hates
“her
child” [Jesus Christ],
because
“her child”
is God
come in
the flesh [“God was
manifest in the flesh”-1
Timothy 3:16].
This is
why the nation of Israel is
the most hated nation on the
face of the
earth, and this is
why the
Jewish people are the most hated people on the
face
of this
earth.
This has been this way ever since
the day God gave to Abraham
and to his seed the most strategically important piece of
land in the whole world.
Now here is the
LAND GRANT given by promise [a “covenant”]:
“In the same day the Lord made a covenant with
Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river
of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:” [Genesis 15:18].
Now, God had it
prophesied by the prophet Moses, that
someday Israel
will be
“the head” nation
over all
other nations on this earth
“and not the tail” [Note: they are
“the tail” in the
world’s eyes to this very day].
They will become
“the head” nation …
according to the book of Deuteronomy chapter
twenty-eight, verse thirteen: “And the Lord shall make thee the head, and
not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be
beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy
God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:”
[Deuteronomy 28:13].
10. And The
Throne of David
Daniel 2:44:
“And in the
days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which
shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other
people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms,
and it shall stand for ever.”
The
Kingdom
of Heaven is coming to this earth.
The disciples of Jesus Christ were taught to pray:
“Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” [Matthew 6:10]
Then,
it is
all about a King, and a Kingdom.
It is all about
Jesus Christ, and involving a
“restitution of all things”:
“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.”
[Acts 3:21]
It is shown
repeatedly in
the word
of God, the Bible, that the dominant
theme of the
Bible is that of a King, and of a Kingdom.
This Kingdom comes in
“the
restitution of all things” in the
seventh millennia of time, and will establish
“the
throne” with
“the key of the house of David” within
“the
tabernacle of David”.
More than this, this
“throne” will be
established “in mercy” and
“in
truth”, and
the government will be on the
“shoulders” of
“a righteous Branch”,
WHO is called:
“THE
LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS”.
Isaiah 16:5:
“And in
mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in
truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and
hasting righteousness.”
Isaiah 22:22:
“And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his
shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut,
and none shall open.”
Jeremiah
23:5-9:
“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.
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell
safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD
OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
But, The Lord
liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of
Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I
had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their
king, whom I will raise up unto them.”
Jeremiah
33:15-17:
“In those days,
and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow
up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in
the land. In those days
shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is
the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.
For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit
upon the throne of the house of Israel;”
David will
shepherd the nation of Israel both
as a prince, and
as a king
[a regent], under Jesus Christ,
as Joseph was
under Pharaoh
in Genesis 41:43.
· David is to
be “the shepherd”.
· David is to
be “the prince”.
· David is to
be “the king”.
This will occur in “the
regeneration” which is foretold in the book of Matthew:
“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.”
[Matthew 19:28]
David will be
raised up from the dead [along with the disciples]
“in the regeneration”!
[Do you doubt this?]
[The
“resurrection” of the dead to life is done by “the
power of God”. Now,
what did Jesus say to Martha in the gospel according to Matthew?
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” (John
11:25)] Also,
located in the gospel according to Matthew is this
rebuke
to the Sadducees “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err,
not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.” [Matthew
22:29]
We see this truth of David being
“set up” [to be
the
shepherd … to be
the prince … to be
the king] by
THE KING [Jesus Christ] in the book of Ezekiel chapter
thirty-four, verses twenty-three through twenty-four:
“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.
And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a
prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.” [Ezekiel
34:23-24], and in chapter thirty-seven, verses twenty-four through
twenty-five: “And
David my servant shall
be king over them;
and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my
judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob
my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell
therein, even they, and their children, and their children's
children for ever: and my servant
David shall be their prince for ever.” [Ezekiel
37:24-25]
This is
confirmed again [Scripture with Scripture] in the book
of Hosea:
“Afterward shall the children of
Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king;
and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.”
