I was watching a Chuck Missler video recently and he made a comment about the promise made to Mary (mother of Jesus).
The Promise can be found in Luke 1:32-33
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. 33 He will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end.
This promise has never been fulfilled to this day.
1) David's throne was nonexistent during the time Jesus was first on this earth.
2) Israel really was not a country during the time Jesus was first on this earth (at most one can say it was a providence)
Now most people feel this promise will be fulfilled during the Millennium Kingdom
(which is after the tribulation and before the New Earth)
So How do you take this Unfulfilled promised?

So then kjs are you saying/thinking that His kingdom hasnt begun yet? Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.In light of what you posted how do we compare and reconcile with this verse from Revelation? One could say that it was fulfilled 2000 years ago when He rose from the dead. He is the King of kings (and priests) and already rules forever. Now not "physically" on earth but "spiritually". Perhaps you could share the link to the Missler video so I can better understand the context? Maybe I'm missing something? |

Perhaps you could share the link to the Missler video so I can better understand the context? Maybe I'm missing something? Look at the verse again .... 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. 33 He will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end. When in the past 2K years has David's throne been reinstated? The way the promise reads -- it is talking physical rule -- here on this Earth. Yes, Jesus did conquer death and He is the first begotten of the dead.... BUT no the physical promise has not been kept --as of yet...... |
