The Two Thrones Representing the Kingdoms of Grace and of Glory

THRONE OF THE SON

Christ will reign in the kingdom of glory forever. God speaks of the eternal kingdom of his Son by his servant David in these words: “His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established forever as the moon.” Psalm 89:36, 37. And the angel speaking of Christ addresses Mary in those words: “He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his Father David; and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Luke 1:32, 33. At the close of human probation, Christ delivers up the kingdom of grace, which there has an end, 1 Corinthians 15:24-28, and receives from the Father the immortal kingdom of glory: TTKGG 3.2
