Messiah and the Throne of David — Part 3

A number of prophecies foretold that the Messiah would become heir to the throne of David (2 Samuel 7:11-13; Psalms 132:11; Isaiah 9:6-7; Jeremiah 23:6-7; et al). The Bible identifies, and confirms by its testimony, that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah. and that he, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, would be heir to the throne of David (Luke 1:31-33; Acts 2:30).

The link between David, king of Israel, and Jesus Christ the Messiah is a significant theme in Scripture, and understanding the historical and prophetic link between the two ought to be of interest to any student of the Bible.

David, though human, and one who committed sins and mistakes at times, nevertheless was on the whole faithful to God. David was a great king, under whose rule Israel prospered, and the kingdom of Israel became a great Empire, far more significant than many realize.

The Truth About Hell

Millions have been taught that according to Scripture God sends “the unsaved” to an “ever-burning hell,” to be tortured for eternity. Yet, the Bible tells us that God is just and merciful.

In reality, the Bible teaches nothing like the commonly accepted ideas about “hell” taught historically by most allegedly Christian Churches, and believed by many, more likely most, who have professed Christianity.

This message explains what the Bible really teaches about “hell,” and how it affects human beings.

Reconciliation of Man to God

How can nations, peoples, individuals be reconciled and learn to live together in peace? How can a corrupt and evil world be reconciled to God? These things can be done, and they will be done. The Bible tells us how.

Moreover, the Feast of Atonement, one of the seven annual festivals of God commanded in Scripture, focuses on the theme of reconciliation, and Scripture reveals a great deal of information concerning how God is going to bring reconciliation and peace to the earth, worldwide.

In this message Rod Reynolds discusses how Mankind will be reconciled to God.

Lessons From the Feast of Trumpets

With the mighty blast of the “seventh trumpet,” Jesus Christ will return to the earth in power, to establish his throne in Jerusalem, ruling all mankind, and to put down his enemies, and reward the faithful. All this is pictured by a Biblical feast, the Feast of Trumpets, as explained in this message.

In Prosperity Beware

In recent history the nations of the world have prospered as never before in history. This is especially true of the western industrialized nations, but also of many other nations, though vast numbers of the world’s people remain impoverished in many respects.

God wants us to prosper, in the right balance and as we walk in truth (III John 1:1-4). 

But wealth often has its own problems, given human nature and how humans tend to react when in the midst of abundance. God warned the people of Israel of the consequences of turning to idols and lawlessness in the latter days, after they had become prosperous, prideful and arrogant, as he foresaw they were inclined to do. It’s not difficult to see the very things prophesied in Scripture concerning the latter days happening in today’s world.
