42 REVELATION is NOT a Mystery—TEACHER’S GUIDE THE PAST
a) The third credential records the Jewish humanity of Jesus as
the descendant of David. It addresses Jesus Christ as Man.
b) The phrase “ruler of the kings of the earth” refers to the
reign of Jesus Christ when He claims His earthly kingdom
at His second coming. At that future time, He will take His
place as King of kings and Lord of lords.
c) It is the fulfillment of the Davidic covenant which is stated in
II Samuel 7:12 and restated in LUKE 1:32, 33 at the
announcement of the birth of Jesus.
II SAMUEL 7:12 When your days are complete
and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise
up your descendant after you, who will come
forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom.
LUKE 1:32, 33 He will be great, and will be
called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord
God will give Him the throne of His father
David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob
forever; and His kingdom will have no end.
b. Seven credentials establish Christ as Savior
I. TO HIM WHO LOVES US – VERSE 5
Display symbol for “loves us”.
a) The first credential speaking of Jesus Christ as Savior tells us
Jesus Christ loves us with perfect, divine love. His love is
not the kind of love the world knows. The perfect tense in
the Greek tells us Christ loved us in the past, loves us right
now and keeps on loving us forever. If you have ever
wondered where we get the phase “Jesus loves me” here is
where it comes from. It speaks of the constant, unchanging
love of God. This Scripture is the only place proclaiming this
truth in this particular way. Jesus has always loved us and
He keeps on loving us. There never has been a time and
there never will be a time when Jesus Christ does not love
us.
