Psalms 9:1 — 2, “I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart. I will tell all the miracles you have done. I will be happy because of you. God Most High, I will sing praises to your name.” David begins this with a declaration that he would praise our Creator with all of his heart and he would speak of the miracles that God has done. For some believers this comes naturally, bit this isn’t so for everyone. Some have trouble offering their praise, not because they don’t want to praise our Creator but because they really are not sure how to praise Him.

Yeshua on David's throne, or not???

A brief discussion with Marten Perdue last week made me think on this subject and a message I looked at this morning made me wonder even more about my belief that Yeshua will be seated on David's throne.

Here is the rabbit hole of verses I looked at:

Jeremiah 33:17-21 - For thus says the Lord, ‘David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18 and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man to offer burnt offerings before Me and to burn grain offerings and to prepare sacrifices all day long.’” 19 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 20 “Thus says the Lord, ‘If you can break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night do not take place at their appointed times, 21 then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant so that he will not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My minister

Psalm 132:11-12 - The Lord swore to David a truth from which He will not turn back: “One of your descendants I will set upon your throne. “If your children will keep My covenant and My testimony which I will teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne forever.”

Isaiah 9:6-7 - For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given; And the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 There shall be no end to the increase of His government and of peace, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from that time forward and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.

Luke 1:32 - He will be great and eminent and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;

These verses would at first reading look like Yeshua is seated on David's throne as a descendant of David. Well, this is at least what I was taught in church.

Looking at it again, Psalm 132 has a legal binding requirement for David to have a descendant on the throne: "If your children will keep My covenant and My testimony". ? We can therefore not assume that the covenant remained in place.

That is how this covenant was broken in Jeremiah 22:28-30 with Coniah, aka Jeconiah, aka Jehoiachin as he would never have a descendant on the throne. We then read in Matthew 1:12 that Jeconiah is in Yeshua's lineage: "After the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel."

That would then mean that Yeshua can't be seated on David's throne as it would negate Jeremiah 22. ?

Luke 1:32 says: "He will be great and eminent and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; "

If I then read this verse and the first passages again then it looks more like Yeshua is given the throne and established the throne of David, but not that He is seated on it nor rules from it.

That is where Yeshua's title "King of kings" comes in. Here in the UK it is easier to understand with all the past feudal wars where a king had to give his rulership up to another king if he lost a war or submitted. The loser in some cases kept his title as king, but the winning king became a "king of kings" and supremely ruled all the kingdoms.

It also makes more sense to me now when Yeshua is told to sit on the right hand of Father. His heavenly throne isn't David's earthly throne or kingship, but it includes the authority and kingdom David was handed. Yeshua therefore rules over David's throne, but doesn't sit on it. If you know of any verses that says that Yeshua actually sits on David's throne then it would answer all my question, so please do let me know.

Am I losing the trail in my thinking here? What are your thoughts on this?

What's the connection between Argentina and Denmark, and what does that connection have to do with Israel's Lost Tribes? Author Susanne Ratcliffe can tell you!
Susanne's latest novel, Stones of Wrath: The Twins, is the second part of a trilogy about a mysterious artefact somehow linked to ancient Israel. In this new novel, she carries forward the story begun in Stones of Wrath: The Tapestry, tracing the actions of her characters through the intrigue of World War II in Denmark, where the nation is under Nazi occupation, and Argentina, where there is considerable sympathy for the Nazi regime.
What's next in God's promised restoration of all Israel? Susanne's third novel might have some answers, but since she's still working on it, the best thing is to read her first two novels and learn how fiction and real life sometimes aren't so different as we might expect!

FROM THIS WEEK'S TORAH PORTION:

The Akeida (The Binding)

“And it came to be after these events that Elohim tried Avraham, and said to him, ‘Avraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ And He said, ‘Take your son, now, your only son Yitschaq, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriyah, and offer him there as an ascending offering on one of the mountains which I command you.’ And Avraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Yitschaq his son. And he split the wood for the ascending offering, and arose and went to the place which Elohim had commanded him. And on the third day Avraham lifted his eyes and saw the place from a distance. So Avraham said to his young men, ‘Stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there and worship, and come back to you.’ And Avraham took the wood of the ascending offering and laid it on Yitschaq his son. And he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. And Yitschaq spoke to Avraham his father and said, ‘My father!’ And he said, ‘Here I am, my son.’ And he said, ‘See, the fire and the wood! But where is the lamb for an ascending offering?’ And Avraham said, ‘My son, Elohim does provide for Himself the lamb for an ascending offering.’ And the two of them went together. And they came to the place which Elohim had commanded him, and Avraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order. And he bound Yitschaq his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. And Avraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son, but the Messenger of YHWH called to him from the heavens and said, ‘Avraham, Avraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ And He said, ‘Do not lay your hand on the boy, nor touch him. For now I know that you fear Elohim, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.’ And Avraham lifted his eyes and looked and saw behind him a ram caught in a bush by its horns, and Avraham went and took the ram and offered it up for an ascending offering instead of his son. And Avraham called the name of the place, YHWH Yireh, as it is said to this day, ‘On the mountain YHWH provides.’ And the Messenger of YHWH called to Avraham a second time from the heavens, and said, ‘By Myself I have sworn, declares YHWH, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, that I shall certainly bless you, and I shall certainly increase your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore, and let your seed possess the gate of their enemies. And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.’”
