Christ the King the Biblical Background by Fr. George Mary Claret (Bible Study)

#catholic #christking Christ the King the Biblical Background by Fr. George Mary Claret (Bible Study) Jesus Christ is the King.  It is very important to understand this fact biblically. Thus the Israelites for their own doom demanded and got a king over them beginning from Saul, David, and Solomon who ruled the undivided Israel till 916 B.C when the Kingdom was divided South as Judah and North as Israel between Rehoboam the son of Solomon and Jeroboam son of Nebat respectively (1 Kings 12-13). Israel, the Northern kingdom was destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BC (2 Kings 17) and Judah, the Southern kingdom in 587 by the Babylonians (2 Kings 25). The Jews were under one or the other empire after the division in 916 BC and they wanted freedom from the clutches of the foreign kings. During the exile and after that the prophets foretold of the Messiah who would be a seed of David. It was because of the covenant of Yahweh with David. Yahweh promised David through the prophet Nathan, “When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.” (2 Samuel 7,12-13). ============================================== You are most welcome to follow me on the following platforms. ============================================== To understand the Incarnation (the Word made flesh), try this book by Fr.
