Have Unshakable Faith in the Kingdom - A COVENANT GUARANTEES THAT THE KINGDOM WILL LAST

The Edenic promise and the Abrahamic covenant teach us that Jehovah's rulership is always based on his righteous standards. So when the Messianic Kingdom that God established is also based on those righteous standards. (Psalm 89:14)   Will the Messianic Kingdom even become corrupt? Will this Kingdom government need to be replaced?  Another legal covenant guarantees that this will never happebed.

Jehovah made a promise to King David of ancient Israel.  That promise is called the Davidic covenant. (Read 2 Samuel 7:12, 16.)  Jehovah  promised that the Messiah would be one of David's descendants.  (Luke 1:30-33)   In this way, Jehovah gave more specific information about the family line of the Messiah.  Jehovah said that this descendant of David would have "the legal right" to be King of the Messianic Kingdom. (Ezekiel 21:25-27)  David's kingship will rule forever  because Jesus,  the descendant of David, "will endure forever; his throne will endure like the sun." (Psalm 89:34-37)  We can be confident that the Messiah's rule will never become corrupt and that the benefits that come from this rule will last forever.
