"Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David," 2 Timothy 2:8.
Offspring of David. A second covenant from the Hebrew Bible that holds today, God made with King David. David's kingdom would never end, and his offspring would reign for ever. Jesus is the offspring of David, raised from the dead forever, he reigns forever. So Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, foretold as the offspring of David. And his kingdom consists of the ransomed from every tribe and language and people and nation. One king, king both of Jews and Gentiles together, alike. New covenant. Church of God.
So we meet with a brother or sister today under the Lord Jesus Christ. And together we worship God in receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. New testament.
