Description
The central personality of Old Testament prophecy is the coming great King who will rule in God’s promised kingdom. Over and over we are told of a special individual who has the righteousness, the wisdom, the power, the authority, and the right to reign not only over Israel but over the entire earth. This coming great King will have the power to bruise Satan’s head
(Gen. 3:15), take back man’s dominion that was lost through sin, and establish at last a kingdom on earth that will extend into eternity. From Him the “scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet” (Gen. 49:10). That could not be said of any Old Testament king, and could only apply to the coming great King. The host of other predictions that refer to a reign described by such terms as everlasting, eternal, and forever obviously could not apply to a merely human king
