Will Christ come to a nonexistent throne?
If the throne of David ceased
with Zedekiah,
then it does not exist today.
And if it does not exist,
how shall Christ sit upon a
nonexistent throne? (See Luke 1:31-32.)
And, since it was to continue
through all generations,
how about those many generations
between Zedekiah and the birth of Jesus?
"Thus saith the Lord; If
ye can break my covenant of the day,
and my covenant of the night,
and that there should not be day and night in their season;
then may also my covenant be
broken with David my servant,
that he should not have a son
to reign upon his throne" (Jeremiah 33, verses 19-21).
Day and night still continues.
Does David's throne?
But
what do the people say?
Considerist thou not what this people have spoken,
saying, the two families which the Lord hath chosen,
he hath even cast them off?
"Thus they have despised my
people, that they should be no more a nation before them" (verse 24).
But
what does God say?
"Thus saith the Lord," (verse
25),
"If my covenant be not with
day and night,
and if I have not appointed
the ordinances of heaven and earth;
then will I cast away the seed
of Jacob, and David my servant, so that
I will not take any of his seed
to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
Strong words, those!
Unless
you can stop this old earth from turning on its axis,
unless
you can remove the sun and the moon and the stars from heaven,
says
the Almighty, you cannot prevent him from keeping his covenant
to
maintain continuously through all generations, forever,
from
the time of David and Solomon,
a
descendant of David in one continuous dynasty on that throne!
Not necessarily ruling over
all the House of Israel or of the Jews,
but at least some of them,
enough to form a nation.
Remember
again, the sceptre promise,
which
includes this line of kings until it culminates in Christ at his Second
Coming:
"The sceptre shall not depart
from Judah,
nor a lawgiver from between
his feet, until Shiloh [Christ] comes;
and to him shall be the obedience
of the people" (Gen. 49:10).
