Messiah the King

Biblogic | Messiah the King

David, as the second king of Israel, is known for his military and political leadership, as well as his role in establishing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. He is also known for his close relationship with God, as seen in his writings in the Psalms. The Messiah is expected to be a leader who surpasses even David in terms of his leadership, his relationship with God, and his impact on history.

The Bible promises that a king like David will come, who will be greater than David himself. This is seen in passages such as 2 Samuel 7:12-13, where God speaks to King David through the prophet Nathan, saying, “When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever." (NIV)

The passage from Samuel 7:12-13 is also significant in that it emphasizes the eternal nature of the Messiah's kingdom. The Messiah's reign will be forever, unlike the reign of any mortal king. The Messiah's kingdom is also divinely established and blessed, as God promises to establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

In addition to these passages, there are many other references in the Old Testament to the Messiah as a king. For example, in Isaiah 9:6-7, the Messiah is described as a child who will be born and will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." He will reign on David's throne and establish a kingdom of peace and righteousness. Similarly, in Zechariah 9:9, the Messiah is described as a king who will come riding on a donkey, and who will bring salvation and peace to the world.
