From a reader:
Gentlemen —
Over at COGWriter, we are told:
Let’s look at some additional prophecies related to the throne of David:
45 …King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord forever. (1 Kings 2:45)
2 …Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, you who sit on the throne of David, you and your servants and your people who enter these gates! (Jeremiah 22:2)
17 “For thus says the Lord: ‘David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18 nor shall the priests, the Levites, lack a man to offer burnt offerings before Me, to kindle grain offerings, and to sacrifice continually.'” (Jeremiah 33:17-18)
The above passages make clear that the throne of David was to last. Since scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35), then someone has to be on that throne now. Let me also state that there have been Levites ever since Jeremiah 33:17-18–the fact that they do not do their original biblical role for offerings does NOT change the fact that they still exist, which is all that scripture requires for them.
I think Bob just stepped in a pile of Red Heifer Droppings.
His point about the Levites is sensible: the fact that they do not do “their original biblical role for offerings does NOT change the fact that they still exist, which is all that scripture requires for them.”
So surely that same logic enables us to say with complete confidence that there doesn’t need to be a man (or woman) currently sitting "on the throne of the house of Israel”— there just needs to be someone somewhere who COULD be sitting on that throne — not doing their original biblical role for throne-sitting does not change the fact that he(or she) still exists, which is all that scripture requires for them.
So even if the the English-speaking Nations are Israelish (which I’m not necessarily saying) nothing requires a continuity of kings (or queens) to have been sitting on David’s Throne all these many centuries, just that somewhere there is a descendant of David who COULD be sitting on that Throne. That person does not even need to know that he (or she) is that person.
Bob just threw the Throne out the window.
