The development of the Messiah theme in the Tanakh is a subtle progressive revelation, but there is nevertheless plenty there to demonstrate that a great king will one day come who will reconcile Jews and Gentiles back to God and will rule the earth as not only the son of David but also as the Son of God. To our natural minds, this seems impossible: the infinite God coming to us as finite man; "but with God all things are possible."
Whether you are Jew or Gentile, you will be encouraged when you learn that the king and redeemer of mankind, who will rule forever on David's throne, will not be a flawed mortal man, but the righteous eternal God. "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." -Isaiah 9:6 -ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Eric E.
