The Jews were waiting for their promised Messiah whom they understood would be a son of David and who would rule on the throne in Jerusalem. Jesus was not the conquering king they expected and many had trouble accepting the kind of King He really was. The book of Revelation tells us that Jesus will return one day to rule over the earth. At that time, the ancient prophecies of an earthly kingdom of God will be fulfilled, and no one will doubt that Jesus is the King of kings. Every nation, tribe, and tongue will bow to the King of the Jews. We have the opportunity to recognize Jesus as King or Lord of our lives right now and to live as people of His kingdom with all the resulting blessings
