Chapter Forty-Four/Revelation and You - Conclusion

 Jesus Christ was entrusted with conveying Revelation to John and through him to the congregation. Jesus is both "the root and the offspring of David." He descended from David according to the flesh and this is qualified to be King of Jehovah's Kingdom. He will also become "David's Eternal Father," and thus David's "root," (Isaiah 9:6; 11:1, 10) He is the permanent immortal King in David's line, fulfilling Jehovah's covenant with David, and "the bright morning star" foretold in Moses' day. (Numbers 24:17; Psalm 89:34-37) He is " the day star" that rises, causing the day to dawn. (2 Peter:19) All the wiles of the great enemy Babylon the Great were no able to prevent this glorious rising.
