       And it was some 1,000 years later that Christ was born into the world, and he was the fulfillment of the promise that God made to David. He is of the lineage of David, as both Matthew and Luke so clearly show us, and he is to reign on the earth as King (see Matthew 1 & Luke 3). You know the famous passage. You remember what Isaiah prophesied. Isaiah 9:6, 7 state: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this” (ESV). Now, only the first part of this passage has been fulfilled thus far in human history. We are still waiting for Christ to come again and to establish his kingdom for the Israelites here on the earth. And he is going to do this very soon.
