There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
Isaiah 11:1
God promised David that he would always have a descendant to sit on the throne. He didn't promise that his descendants would always actually hold any power. His line was never cut off, but it was severely pruned and even exiled for a time, but in the midst of that exile, under the thumb of a foreign empire, God gave David a Son who would transform his kingdom into something greater, something eternal, a Priest-King who would die, rise again, and ascend to a Throne that can never be corrupted, usurped, or surrendered.
I’m really enjoying what Microsoft is putting out lately. It’s making life much easier for those of us who are the family IT Admins. A TB of cloud for each family member, the whole suite of MS apps, and now centralized security for $100/year is quite a bargain. Especially since you still own your data.

Write Aaron's name on the staff of Levi. For there shall be one staff for the head of each fathers' house.
Numbers 17:3
Although there is always some kind of power sharing between the various offices in God's government, there is never competition for the same office. Although there are many pretenders, there is only one high priest, one king, and one supreme judge for the nation, and there is only one patriarchal chief of each tribe.

Blessed is the Child of Light
Who doth study the Book of the Law
For he shall be as a candle
In the dark of night
And as an island of truth
In a sea of falsehood
For know ye, that the written Word
Which cometh from Yahovah
Is a reflection of the Heavenly Sea
Even as the bright stars
Reflect the face of heaven.
As the words of the ancient ones
Are etched with the hand of Yahovah
On the holy scrolls
So is the law engraved on the hearts of the faithful
Who do study them.
