The prophecy of King David’s throne is a prophecy about the gospel preaching period of Christ. David, the second king of Israel, ascended to the throne at the age of 30 and reigned for 40 years. The prophets in the Old Testament times prophesied through David about God who would come into this world in the flesh, namely Christ. David’s work was a prophecy about the work that Christ would accomplish. David’s throne was also a prophecy, and it would be fulfilled by Jesus Christ, who came to this earth 2,000 years ago, and Christ who would come a second time in the last days.
David and Christ
David had been chosen by God in advance to replace Saul who disobeyed God. God regarded David as a man who was after God’s own heart, and He said He would accomplish His will through David.[1][2]
David and Christ are related through prophecy fulfillment. The Old Testament prophets prophesied about the appearance of Christ in the name of David about ten times.
- Hosea
- Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days. (Hosea 3:5)
- Jeremiah
- “[W]hen I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.” (Jeremiah 23:5–6) “Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.” (Jeremiah 30:9) “ ‘In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David's line; he will do what is just and right in the land.’ ” (Jeremiah 33:15–17)
- Ezekiel
- “I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, . . . My servant David will be prince among them.” (Ezekiel 34:23–24) “David my servant will be their prince forever.” (Ezekiel 37:24–25)
The above prophecies were written hundreds of years after David’s death, and David was not an "eternal" king. Therefore, David who the prophets wrote about does not refer to the second king of Israel, but to God who is to come in the flesh, namely Christ.
Prophecy and Fulfillment of David’s Throne
Jesus
Two thousand years ago, many Jews were familiar with the prophecies of the Bible about King David; they had believed that the Messiah [Christ] would come from among David’s descendants, and that He would deliver them from the Roman oppression.[3] Actually, Jesus was born in the house of Joseph, who was a descendant of David.[4] When Jesus performed many miracles, the Jews followed Him and called Him "Son of David."[5][6][7][8][9]
However, the prophets’ prophecies about King David did not mean that the Messiah would appear among David’s descendants, but God would come in the flesh and become the spiritual King David. The prophet Isaiah prophesied that God would come as a child and a son and sit on the throne of David.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.
This prophecy was fulfilled by Jesus. The angel who appeared to Mary told her that Jesus was to sit on David’s throne.[10] In other words, Jesus is God who came in the flesh according to the prophecies of the Bible. Quoting David’s psalm, Jesus also taught them, “If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he [Christ] be his son?"[11][12] Apostle Paul also said that Jesus was born of David’s descendants, but that Jesus is the Son of God and the Christ.[13]
Jesus fulfilled the gospel work as the spiritual King David, fulfilling the prophecy of David’s throne. Just as David was anointed and ascended to the throne at the age of 30, Jesus was baptized and began the gospel ministry at the age of 30.
| David | Jesus Christ |
| 2 Samuel 5:4
"David was thirty years old when he became king, |
Luke 3:21–23
“When Jesus was baptized too. |
| Began to reign at the age of 30 and reigned for 40 years |
Began the gospel ministry at the age of 30 and carried out the gospel for 3 years |
Jesus was able to begin the gospel work at any time in His 20s or 40s. However, the reason Jesus was baptized at the age of 30 was to fulfill the prophecy of David’s throne. David’s 40-year reign is a prophecy of Jesus’ preaching period. However, Jesus ascended to heaven after preaching the gospel for 3 years.[14]
Second Coming Jesus
In order to fulfill the prophecy of the remaining 37 years, it is inevitable for Jesus, the spiritual King of David, to come again. Therefore, the Bible prophesied that Jesus would come again.[15] If Christ comes a second time to save mankind, as the spiritual King David He will be baptized at the age of 30, and carry out the gospel work for the remaining 37 years that was not completely fulfilled by Jesus Christ.
Sign of David
In the last days, those who receive the spiritual David, Christ who come a second time, will be saved. However, many false Christs and false prophets are to appear in the last days when Christ comes again.[16] The true Christ, who comes as David, has a sure sign.
“Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples.”
The "everlasting covenant" established by God is promised only to David. However, since it says that David is the leader of all people, it does not indicate King David who was the leader of Israel. The "everlasting covenant" is the sign of the spiritual David, Christ. The everlasting covenant indicates the covenant established by the blood of Jesus.[17][18] In the Bible, the only covenant established with Jesus’ blood is the new covenant. Jesus referred to the wine of the Passover as the new covenant. Moreover, the new covenant, the everlasting covenant, was established to save the souls of mankind,[19] and Jesus taught that those who eat His flesh and drink His blood will have eternal life.[20] Thus, through the New Covenant Passover, God let us eat bread and drink wine, which represent His flesh and blood. In other words, the core truth of the new covenant is the Passover.
And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. . . .” And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you . . .” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup [wine] is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”
Jesus established the Passover of the new covenant, the sign of King David. Likewise, Second Coming Christ, as the spiritual King David, gives eternal life through the Passover of the new covenant.
Prophetic David, Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong
Completion of the Prophecy of David’s Throne
David became a king at the age of 30 and reigned for 40 years. Jesus was baptized at the age of 30 and preached the truth for three years. Second Coming Jesus fulfills all the prophecies of King David’s throne by carrying out the gospel ministry for the remaining 37 years. According to the prophecy of David's throne and the parable of the fig tree, Christ Ahnsahnghong was baptized in 1948 at the age of 30 and began the gospel ministry. Also, after preaching the truth for 37 years, He ascended to heaven in 1985. Four years before His ascension, Christ Ahnsahnghong made known through the media that Second Coming Christ should die according to the prophecy of David.
“ “The Church of God believes that the Second Coming Christ is to appear in this age. . . . The Second Coming Jesus has to come to the earth in secret and pass away after preaching the gospel for 37 years. The reason he has to preach for 37 years is because David reigned on the throne for 40 years, but Jesus was crucified after preaching for only three years, so the Second Coming Jesus has to preach for 37 years so that he can complete the 40-year reign.” “ — Weekly Religion, “Unknown New Religion: The Church of God,” March 18, 1981
Restoration of the Passover of the New Covenant
The Passover of the new covenant is the sign of the spiritual David. It was not kept for about 1,600 years after it was abolished at the Council of Nicaea in 325. In the 16th century, many religious reformers cried out for the freedom of faith and reformation, but none of them could restore the truth of the new covenant. The Bible prophesied that God, who comes as the spiritual King of David, would restore the Passover of the new covenant.
On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine—the best of meats and the finest of wines. . . . he will swallow up death forever. . . . In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us.”
In the Bible, the wine that destroys death forever is only the wine of the New Covenant Passover.[21][22] Second Coming Christ is the only One who brings the New Covenant Passover, which is the sign of David. Therefore, Christ Ahnsahnghong, who has restored the Passover of the new covenant, is the spiritual King David, the Second Coming Christ, who has appeared in the last days.
The reason God comes to this world again in the flesh is for the salvation of mankind.[15] It means that if we do not receive Second Coming Christ, we cannot be saved. In regard to this, the prophet Hosea prophesied that those who sought David in the last days would receive God’s blessings, namely, salvation.[23]
