1 Chronicles 17:10-14
The Messiah is Coming
" 'I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you: 11 When your days are over and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He is the one who will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. 13 I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will never take my love away from him, as I took it away from your predecessor. 14 I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever; his throne will be established forever.' "
King David had a prophet called Nathan...Nathan tells David that the LORD will build a house for him...One of his grandsons down the line will succeed him (King David) ...He (that Son) will build a house for Me (the LORD)...
This Son will establish a throne that will last forever...Our LORD will be His Father, and he will be the LORD's Son...God will never take away His love for his Son...This Son will be over the Father's houses forever...His throne will be established forever...
The was one born in the line of David...He was a poor boy born in Bethlehem, went to Egypt, then to Nazareth, and on to Galilee...His stepfather was a carpenter...He was also carpenter and had no money...His parents were not well to do...He remained poor all His life and this would certainly impact Him and the people who followed Him...In fact, many of His messages were for the meek, those who mourn, and the poor...
He did not sit in a throne or have people waiting on Him, but walked to the places He wanted to go, with friends He called disciples...
He had no army and did not lead a rebellious military battle, but was humble in speech and action...His only weapon were His words...He also was not a political leader...
He only worked three years... He wanted peace and invited everyone into God's Kingdom...
He was rejected by the popular leaders and put to death...But two thousand years later His message is still with us today...
