Was Jesus ever to become King on earth or in heaven?
Matthew Chapter 1 shows that Jesus came from the line of David so could rightly become King.
Read how Jesus responded when asked if he was a King...
John 18:37Therefore Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone that is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.”
So Jesus said he had been born to be King, by doing so he inherited the legal right to the throne of David and also to bear witness to the truth.
In verse 36 Jesus said the following “My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be delivered up to the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source.”
So here he made it clear that he was not to be a King on earth as a human ruler but rather in heaven he was to rule as King.
In Psalms 89 it talks about the covenant Jehovah made with David.
3 “I have concluded a covenant toward my chosen one;
I have sworn to David my servant,
4 ‘Even to time indefinite I shall firmly establish your seed,
And I will build your throne to generation after generation.’”
28 To time indefinite I shall preserve my loving-kindness toward him,
And my covenant will be faithful to him.
29 And I shall certainly set up his seed forever
And his throne as the days of heaven.
36 His seed itself will prove to be even to time indefinite,
And his throne as the sun in front of me.
Daniel 7:14 And to him there were given rulership and dignity and kingdom, that the peoples, national groups and languages should all serve even him. His rulership is an indefinitely lasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be brought to ruin.
This is just a little bit of scripture that shows Jesus was born to be King, not many people recognize this scriptural truth. I would like to write much more here but want to leave it at that so as to not go to deep in one post.
The Kingdom Jesus has become King in is God's Kingdom that many pray for, Matt 6:9-10

My question? Did you realize this scriptural truth from Gods word the Bible and would you like to learn more?
Messiah - Matthew 16:15-17 Also Proverbs 8:22-31
Allan, it won't allow me to give u a full reply due to space... however Jesus did sit down at the right hand of god until his enemy's were placed as a stool for his feet. An accurate study of scripture revealed that 1914 was the end of the Gentile times and the beginning of Christ's reign as King.
Leon - many claim it is from within a person, but is this really what the Bible teaches regarding God's Kingdom? Well a Kingdom is like a government set up over the people to benefit them. Jesus said his Kingdom is not from the source, if it were within us would God's son not have it within him? Also consider the prophecy regarding God's Kingdom in Daniel 2:44, it speaks of the heavenly Kingdom which will soon "crush and put an end to all these kingdoms" all human Kingdoms and rule to time indefinite!
Servant A - You see the truth? Well why don't you see that Jesus said in
Matthew 5:5 “Happy are the mild‐tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.
Or that in Psalm 104:5 He has founded the earth upon its established places;
It will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.
And do you recognize the prophecy's written by Isaiah concerning the future here on earth?
“The lame one will climb up just as a stag does.”—Isaiah 35:6
“The eyes of the blind ones will be opened.”—Isaiah 35:5
“No resident will say: ’I am sick.‘”—Isaiah 33:24
No more space here but I will happily chat via e-mail

When Jesus was before Pontius Pilate, he said: “For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.” (John 18:37) Jesus allowed nothing to distract him from bearing witness to the truth. That was God’s will for him.
Satan certainly tested Jesus in this regard. Shortly after Jesus’ baptism, Satan offered to make him a great man in the world, to give him “all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.” (Matthew 4:8, 9) Later, the Jews wanted to make him a king. (John 6:15) Some might ponder the possible benefits of Jesus’ accepting those offers, perhaps reasoning that as a human king, Jesus could have done much good for mankind. Jesus, though, rejected that kind of thinking. His focus was on bearing witness to the truth.

The Kingdom of God is within you. Your whole Soul and heart. Therefore that is where the King will dwell. Heaven and Earth will be one, because He made it so. The most significant question is, imo, Luke 18.8, "Will there be Faith found upon the Earth?" This is the challenge of what WE need to fulfill.
When the scribe told Jesus, Matt. 8:19, "I will follow you wherever you shall go", Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.", He had not yet been transformed through the crucifixion and knew the scribe could not follow Him there, Romans 8:3-4, as no one could fulfill the Law, because they walk in the way of flesh. they had not yet become what they were created to be.
All of this is really practical instruction. It is saying merely, this is how the Kingdom works. The tree was made for the fruit and not the other way around. I experience this daily as a challenge. Have my whole life, though I was unaware until I became older. We all do, whatever True inmost guide we emulate and refer to.
Great question! Leon Anderson

All of you see only what you want to see, and hear only those things you agree with.
But I see the truth, not my truth or your truth but the truth Jesus was born to bring us and his truth says
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
John 18:34-37 (KJV).
To be a King one must have a Kingdom, in death we are all invited to goto his KINGDOM in heaven, The Truth is Jesus' Kingdom is Not of this World.

Ask the men who walked and talked with Jesus for 3 1/2 years, Levi:
They say Jesus is God, but although He is the supreme ruler of Heaven, He had to assume the empty throne of Adam.
Jesus is called the Last Adam in 1 Cor. 15. That means that when He became a human being, He was like us. Then after 30 years of meeting temptation, yet without sin, He suffered the penalty of death for us, as our substitute.
But it isn't over yet. Jesus must be inaugurated as King of Earth.
The Bible gives the EXACT month, day, and year this will happen. It is amazing how God puts it together: English> http://revelado.org/thetimeoftheend.pdf --

How very interesting. And of course none of this was scheduled to happen for almost 2000 years until 1914. What did Jesus do in the meantime? I've got a good one for you. It's found in Hebrews 1:3 where it reads:
"Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged all our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high".
Did you catch that part where it reads that he SAT down? SAT. Past tense. Looks like Jesus had ALREADY taken up his throne centuries before 1914.

exhilaration, for one element, a similar Bible your are studying contains each of the know-how (solutions you're asking) from each of the a at the same time as.

interesting thing about the readings is the blessing God gave Jacob still survives today and people resent it. The Muslims resent it.
