FOREVERMORE - like garden beds full of balsam trees yielding perfume. EVERLASTING THRONE / APOSTOLIC SEEIndeed, he will build the (3rd) temple of the Lord, and he will rise up in royal honor, sitting as king on his throne. Moreover, there will be a priest with him on his throne and they will see eye to eye on everything. Zechariah sn The priest here in the immediate context is Joshua but the fuller and more distant allusion is to the Messiah, a ruling priest. The notion of the ruler as a priest-king was already apparent in David and his successors (Pss “As for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, seemingly insignificant among the clans of Judah – from you a king will emerge who will rule over Israel on my behalf, one whose origins are in the distant past. So the Lord will hand the people of Israel over to their enemies until the time when the woman in labor gives birth. Then the rest of the king’s countrymen will return to be reunited with the people of Israel. He will assume his post (stand up, will arise) and shepherd the people by the Lord’s strength, by the sovereign authority of the Lord his God. They will live securely, for at that time he will be honored even in the distant regions of the earth.” Micah “Solomon sat on his father David’s throne, and his royal authority was firmly solidified (Tikkon).” 1 Kings “He will build me a (3T) house, and I will make his dynasty permanent. I will put him in permanent charge of my house and my kingdom; his dynasty will be permanent.”’”” 1 Chronicles “‘I will give you an eternal dynasty and establish your throne throughout future generations.’” (Selah)” Psalms “I will give him an eternal dynasty, and make his throne as enduring as the skies above.” Psalms “His dynasty will last forever. His throne will endure before me, like the sun, it will remain stable, like the moon, his throne will endure like the skies.” (Selah)” Psalms “Your throne has been secure from ancient times; you have always been king.” Psalms “He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom permanently.” 2 Samuel כון kwn prepare, make ready; erect, set up; determine, fix, appoint; make firm; feel inclined, be intent on, be firmly resolvedBDB be firm; CHAL stand firm, fast; be stable, secure; be re-established; be lasting, durable; be ready; set up, prepareכִּסֵּא kis·sē(ʾ) seat, chair; seat of honor, throneBDB seat; throneCHAL chair; seat of honor, throneDBL Hebrew throne; rule; chair; place of honorעוֹלָם ʿô·lām long time, duration; future time, times to come; long time back; everlasting; eternityCHAL long time, constancy, all; time; for all time, for ever; long time ago, the dim pastDBL Hebrew everlasting; ancient; lastingTLOT eternityGlorification | The Final Frontier Going Boldly Where The Last Man has Gone Before!
