How long will Christ rule on the throne of David?
Christ will rule upon the throne of David forever, not merely for a thousand years. His reign will continue right on into eternity under a new heaven and a new earth. The kingdom is established with judgment and justice from henceforth, extending beyond the thousand years into the eternal state.
Les explains that the prophecy states He will rule upon the throne of David and upon His kingdom, to order it, to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth. When asked how long, the answer is forever—not just for a thousand years. It will go right on into eternity, under a new heaven and a new earth. So Christ's reign on David's throne is everlasting, continuing beyond the thousand years into the eternal state.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
