Scriptures from the New Testament, that confirm the validity of the eternal “throne of David” 510-2 - 10 - 2

There are scriptures in both the Old and New Testament confirming the validity about the eternal “throne of David.”

Psalm 110:1, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” From the Old Testament is confirmed in the New Testament.

Matthew 22:44, “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.”

Mark 12:36, “For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD (Jehovah) said to my Lord (Adoni), Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.” Here the claim is that The Messiah would be both Man and God. As David's Son, He would be human. As David's Lord, He would be divine.

“David spoke of the coming Messiah as his Lord. How could this be? How could the Messiah be David's Son and his Lord at the same time? To us the answer is clear. The Messiah would be both Man and God. As David's Son, He would be human. As David's Lord, He would be divine.”

[Believer’s Bible Commentary]

Mark 12:37, “David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.” Here the common people “heard Him gladly.” Likely they did not really understand what Jesus said but were willing to accept Him as the son of David. As for the Pharisees and scribes, they understood only too well!

Again, in Matthew. Matthew 22:41-45, “41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?”

With this Jesus pretty much shut the Pharisees down. Matthew 22:46, “And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.”

Romans 1:3-4, “3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:”

I selected the “Footstool” verses as Jesus presented an argument the elite could not answer without supporting His claim to the Throne of David. The temple leadership rejected Jesus, nevertheless, many of the common people accepted and followed Jesus.

Paul was unique as knew the risen Jesus and was likely schooled by Jesus for three years in Arabia.
