45 | Jesus said he will return and set up His Kingdom from Jerusalem. Here are just some of the OT prophecies.The Lord says that when He comes, He will “dwell in the midst” of the Jews, possessing Judah as “His portion in the Holy Land” and again choosing Jerusalem.When the Messiah (“the Branch”) returns, He will build a temple and “rule on His throne,” and the offices of priest and king will be combined in Him. Thus, “He will be a priest on His throne.“The Lord promises that when He returns to Zion, He will “dwell in the midst of Jerusalem,” and Jerusalem will be called “the city of Truth.“The Messiah will bring peace to the nations and “His dominion will be from sea to sea.”Jesus will return as the Messiah and sets up His Kingdom in Jerusalem.In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem. And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace or unmerited favour and supplication. And they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn.And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from the east to the west by a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north and half of it toward the south. | Zechariah 2:10-13 Zechariah 6:12-13Zechariah 8:2-3Zechariah 9:10 | Still to be Fulfilled Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed by thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever, Amen. |
