Jesus Christ is the Son of David who sits on the throne of the LORD. Those who are in Christ will sit with Jesus upon His throne.

Some of the knowledge I have today took decades to acquire as the Lord continues to mold and shape me, entrusting me with certain truth when He deems me ready to receive such and be a good steward of such. This reminds me to understand that the Lord is working with others with the same patience.

Romans 15:2 KJV Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

Romans 15:4 KJV For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Romans 15:5 KJV Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Romans 15:6 KJV That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:7 KJV Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Make no mistake, Jesus was a Jew (a minister of the circumcision), or more precisely, the King of the Jews. Therefore, the Jews are without excuse. If Jesus had been born of the Gentiles, the Jews would have had no hope, and their prophecies would have failed.
Romans 15:8 KJV Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
Jesus is the King of the Jews and the King of the Gentiles. Truly, Christ is King!
Romans 15:9 KJV And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

Romans 15:11 KJV And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
Romans 15:12 KJV And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

The early Gentile churches supported the Jewish churches, for they were all Christians.
Romans 15:25 KJV But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
Romans 15:26 KJV For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
Romans 15:27 KJV It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
Paul, a former Jew, requested prayer to be delivered from unbelieving Jews. Today, many Christians say such requests are antisemitic because unbelieving Jews are their greatest allies.
Romans 15:30 KJV Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
Romans 15:31 KJV That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
Romans 15:33 KJV Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
If you despise the Word of God, there is no hope for the salvation of your soul, and you will pay the price for your own sins.

They are definitely not Sabbath keepers; I do not care what the self-professed Sabbath keepers of our day proclaim.
Numbers 15:32 KJV And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
Numbers 15:33 KJV And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

Numbers 15:35 KJV And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
I do not know what the Jewish tassel-wearers are remembering today, but they are not holy without Christ, and they are not obeying God’s commands by refusing Christ.
Numbers 15:38 KJV Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
Numbers 15:39 KJV And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
Numbers 15:40 KJV That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
Numbers 15:41 KJV I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
When faced with a superpower threat from the Assyrian nation, King Hezekiah humbled himself before the LORD. No nation can survive without such humility before Almighty God.

There is no need to fear those who blaspheme the LORD, including the Jews.

Isaiah 37:7 KJV Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
That which tempts us does not define us; He who delivers us does.
Beware: the Assyrians mocked, questioned, blasphemed, and defamed the Old Testament God, just as there are factions today who do the same by claiming that the Old Testament God is not the New Testament God. Jesus, who is the 'I AM,' quoted from the Old Testament and stated that it was written concerning Him.
Isaiah 37:10 KJV Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

Isaiah 37:19 KJV And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.

The LORD heard King Hezekiah’s prayer.
Isaiah 37:35 KJV For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

Father, may we bring all of our burdens before Your throne. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
