The Millennial Temple<br />

when Israel is gathered back together in their original land, Ezekiel<br />

37:24-28 states: “David my servant shall be king over them, and they<br />

shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and<br />

observe My statutes, and do them. Then they shall dwell in the land<br />

that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and<br />

they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s<br />

children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever…<br />

The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My<br />

sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”<br />

Also, in the context of the millennial reign and the Covenant of Peace<br />

Ezekiel 34:23,24 says: “I will establish one shepherd over them, and he<br />

shall feed them -- My servant David. He shall feed them and be their<br />

shepherd. And I the Lord will be their God, and My servant David a<br />

prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.”<br />

Jeremiah 30:9 also speaks about king David reigning as king of Israel<br />

at the time when God brings back His people from captivity saying:<br />

“They shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I<br />

will RAISE UP for them.” Isaiah 55:3-5 says that David will be a<br />

future “leader and commander for the people” at a time when God<br />

makes an “everlasting covenant with you… for He has glorified you.”<br />

Hosea 3:4,5 is further confirmation that king David of old will be the<br />

eternal king over the nation of Israel: “For the children of Israel shall<br />

abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred<br />

pillar, without ephod or teraphim. Afterward the children of Israel<br />

shall return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They<br />

shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days.”<br />

If we really believe in the resurrection, then it should not be hard to<br />

believe that God will bring the ancient king David back to earth to be<br />

the prince during the millennial reign of Christ. After all, God created<br />

us in the earth, from the earth and for the earth. So, it should not be a<br />

surprise when the saints who have lived before us start coming back for<br />

their earthly inheritance and rewards as Revelation 20:4-6 tells us:<br />

“they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years… they shall<br />

be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand<br />

years.” Paul also encourages us that “if we believe that Jesus died and<br />
