The Bible tells us that when Christ returns to the earth He will establish Himself as king in Jerusalem,
sitting on the throne of David (
Luke 1:32–33). The unconditional covenants demand a literal,
physical return of Christ to establish the kingdom. The Abrahamic covenant promised Israel a land, a posterity and ruler, and a spiritual blessing (
Genesis 12:1–3). The Palestinian covenant promised Israel a restoration to the land and occupation of the land (
Deuteronomy 30:1–10).
The Davidic covenant promised Israel a king from David’s line who would rule forever—giving the nation rest from all their enemies (
2 Samuel 7:10–13).
At the second coming, these covenants will be fulfilled as Israel is re-gathered from the nations (
Matthew 24:31), converted (
Zechariah 12:10–14), and restored to the land under the rule of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The Bible speaks of the conditions during the millennium as a perfect environment physically and spiritually. It will be a time of peace (
Micah 4:2–4;
Isaiah 32:17–18), joy (
Isaiah 61:7,
10), and comfort (
Isaiah 40:1–2). The Bible also tells us that only believers will enter the millennial kingdom. Because of this, it will be a time of obedience (
Jeremiah 31:33), holiness (
Isaiah 35:8), truth (
Isaiah 65:16), and the knowledge of God (
Isaiah 11:9;
Habakkuk 2:14). Christ will rule as king (
Isaiah 9:3–7;
11:1–10). Nobles and governors will also rule (
Isaiah 32:1;
Matthew 19:28), and Jerusalem will be the political center of the world (
Zechariah 8:3).
Revelation 20:2-7 gives the precise time period of the millennial kingdom.
There are countless other passages that point to a literal reign of the Messiah on the earth. The fulfillment of many of God’s covenants and promises rests on a literal, physical, future kingdom. There is no solid basis for denying the literal interpretation of the millennial kingdom and its duration being 1,000 years.got?
Jesus will establish His 1,000-year Kingdom on earth. In
Jeremiah 30, God promises Israel that the yoke of foreign oppression would be cast off forever, and “instead, they will serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them” (verse 9). Speaking of the same time, God says through the prophet Ezekiel, “My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees” (
Ezekiel 37:24). From the prophecies of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, some have concluded that King David will be resurrected during the
Millennium and installed as co-regent over Israel, ruling the Kingdom with Jesus Christ.
Jeremiah’s and Ezekiel’s prophecies should be understood this way: the Jews would one day return to their own country, their yoke of slavery would be removed, their fellowship with God would be restored, and God would provide them with a King of His own choosing. This King would, in some way, be like King David of old. These passages can refer to none other than the long-awaited Messiah, the “Servant of the Lord” (cf.
Isaiah 42:1). The Jews sometimes referred to the Messiah as “David” because it was known the Messiah would come from David’s lineage. The New Testament often refers to Jesus as the “Son of David” (
Matthew 15:22;
Mark 10:47).
There are other reasons, besides being the Son of David, that the Messiah is referred to as “David.” King David in the Old Testament was a man after God’s own heart (
Acts 13:22), he was an unlikely king of God’s own choosing, and the Spirit of God was upon Him (
1 Samuel 16:12–13). David, then, is a
type of Christ (a type is a person who foreshadows someone else). Another example of this kind of typology is Elijah, whose ministry foreshadowed that of John the Baptist to the extent that Malachi called John “Elijah” (
Malachi 4:5; cf.
Luke 1:17;
Mark 9:11–13).
David will be resurrected at the beginning of the Millennium, along with all the other Old Testament saints.
And David will be one of those who reign with Jesus in the Kingdom (
Daniel 7:27). However,
all believers will rule the nations (
Revelation 2:26–27;
20:4) and judge the world (
1 Corinthians 6:2). The apostle Peter calls Christians “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation” (
1 Peter 2:9). In
Revelation 3:21,
Jesus says about the believer who conquers, “I will grant him to sit with me on my throne.” In some sense, then, Christians will share authority with Christ (cf.
Ephesians 2:6). There is some biblical evidence, as in the Parable of the Ten Minas (
Luke 19:11–27), that individuals will be given more or less authority in the Kingdom according to how they handle the responsibilities God has given them in this age (
Luke 19:17).
Jesus is the King of kings (
Revelation 19:16). Humanly speaking, Jesus is from the Davidic dynasty; but in power, in glory, in righteousness, and in every other way, He is rightly called the Greater David. “The government will be on his shoulders” (
Isaiah 9:6). The Old and New Testaments reveal that the future King during the Millennium and all eternity is Jesus Christ and Him alone (
Jeremiah 23:5;
Isaiah 9:7;
33:22;
Revelation 17:14;
1 Timothy 6:15).got?
conclusion: over 3 dozen bible references proving
@Runningman wrong who has no bible references for his view.
hope this helps !!!
