PROPOSITION 30.

The Covenant with David Will Be Fulfilled In Christ's Possession of David's Restored Throne

Ezek. 21:25-27 And thou profane and wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come when iniquity shall have an end. Thus saith the LORD God; remove the diadem, and take off the crown; this shall not be the same; exalt him that is low and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn it, and it shall be no more until HE COME WHOSE RIGHT IT IS, AND I WILL GIVE IT HIM.

Jer. 33:15 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.

Zech. 6:12, 13 Behold the man whose name is the Branch; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD; Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne, and the counselor peace shall be between them both.

Matt. 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory and all his holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.

Acts 15:16 After this (the visiting of the Gentiles) I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David WHICH IS FALLEN DOWN; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up.

Acts 2:30, 31 Therefore (David) 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; he seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ.
