The Great Second Advent Movement: Its Rise and Progress

The Throne of David the Lord’s Throne

The throne of David was called the throne of the Lord. “Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father.” ⁴⁷ The Lord had “sworn with an oath to him [David], that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne: he seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.” ⁴⁸ And it is further said of Christ’s future reign, He shall sit upon the throne of David. (See Isaiah 9:7.) Again, “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed.... Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.” ⁵⁰ Again, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” GSAM 49.2
