A Test of Bible Truth

The spiritual promises, the promise of the "one seed," Christ, and of salvation through him, the Bible calls "the sceptre."  This promise as nearly everybody knows, was handed down through the Jews. Jesus Christ was of the tribe of Judah, and the House of David "Salvation," Jesus said, "is of the Jews" (John 4:22). "To the Jew first," explained Paul, "and also to the Greek" (Romans 1:16).
When God made David "King of Israel" not only was that throne established forever, it was to exist continuously, forever, through all generations! "I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, thy seed [his dynasty] will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations." (Psalms 89:3-4). That throne was to stand "forever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven" (verses 28-37). "For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel" (Jeremiah 33:17.)
God said, "David's throne was established to last forever."
But, King David's grandson King Zedekiah appears to have been the last king to sit on David's throne. So far as is historically known, the last king of David's dynasty to sit upon that throne was King Zedekiah of Judah, with the Jews a captive people, with all his sons, and many nobles of Judah killed. There is no historical record of any continuance of that throne from that year.
Does this mean the Word of God is not completely 100% True?
God Forbid!
"I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, thy seed [his dynasty] will I establish forever,
and build up thy throne to all generations." (Psalms 89:3-4).
Has the Sceptre departed from Judah? Has the throne ceased?
How can Jesus Christ, when he returns again to earth, take over and sit upon a throne that long ago ceased to exist? Or does it still exist today, as God so bindingly promised, so that Christ can take over and sit upon a living, going, continuous throne when he comes?
The infallibility of the Bible is at stake,
God's word is at stake!
We will explore this seeming false promise starting today. We will show you where David's throne continues to this very day!

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
