Hosea 3:5

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God,
and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in
the latter days.


And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open,
and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.


And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy,
he that is true, he that hath
the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth;
and shutteth, and no man openeth;

Luke 16:16 KJV
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

The law and the prophets were until John, what does that mean? The law ended and the prophets ceased to prophesy new prohecies. Why? Because from John forward the kingdom of God comes and the prophets PREACH the kingdom.

Yes we are, but we're not like Isaiah, we don't get NEW prophecies, we proclaim their prophecies.

There's no need for new prophecies when the kingdom of God is already here.

In the truest sence of the word, yes. As a kingdom of Priest sent out (apostles) with prophecy the existing word of God they prophesy by delclaring it (the existing word of God) He is not brining any new revelations as prophecy..All beliviers are apostles who bring prophecy making them prophets. If they would add to it , it would make a person a false prophet, false apostle.

King David ?

That was the Lamb on His first trip,
also Christ is not King David in that verse.
Christ is to return like as a roaring Lion.

For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind,
to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting
down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring
fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

maybe read rev. 11:15 when Christ takes over this worlds leaders when
The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying,
The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ;
and he shall reign for ever and ever.

-

And David my servant shall be king over them[Israel]; and they all shall have one shepherd:
they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.


And the Lord shall be king over all the earth:
in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

I'm sorry, I was talking about the verse in Hosea you posted.

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God,
and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in
the latter days.

David their king in that verse is talking about Jesus and I was saying that David their king (Jesus) came the first time in fulfillment of Hosea 3:5.

The "last days" started when Jesus came the first time... it was the last days of the kingdom being an earthly kingdom, now the kingdom is a spiritual kingdom since Christ came.

no it is not, Hosea 3:5 says the Lord their God [and ] David their king
this is 2 different persons




Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God,
[and] David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.

I'm not not sure what you are saying, are you saying that David is going to be king again during the milenneum?

Watch out that you are not deceived. for many will come in my name claiming '' I am he'' and the time is near. Do not follow them. When you here of wars and revolutions do not be frightened. These things must happen first but the end will not come right away

Luke 21:9 NIV

This fits very well with what we have now. Arab Springs, Wars breaking out and 'Preachers running around saying the time is near, hyping up supposed amazing signs. The false Prophet business is booming.

Before the things that you mentioned happen, the verse below has to take place doesn't it?

Luke 21:12 KJV
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you , delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

David was a man just like we are men, there's nothing special about David. David represents Christ at his first coming and Christ sat on David's throne at his first coming.

David was the ruler of God's people in the earthly kingdom which is a shadow of Christ ruling over his people in the spiritual kingdom... Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is at hand, that means the kingdom was NOW, right then.

The throne is not a literal throne, it represents the SEAT of authority - Kingship over the people of God.

You futurist are waiting for a kingdom to come that's already here. You guys literally fulfill this verse:

Matthew 23:13 KJV
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves , neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Notice that Jesus told them "for ye neither GO (present tense) in yourselves". Did you catch that? The kingdom was before them and they WOULD NOT enter.

Also notice that the verse says "neither do you allow them that ARE entering to go in". The scribes and Pharisees were trying their best, just like you guys are trying your best to keep those who are trying to enter in from entering.

The kingom of heaven is here, enter in!
