I am not trying to be troublesome to you but just to clarify because I see a conflict. Are we to believe that when the Lord ascended up before the disciples, that he ascended to the right hand of God the father to be seated upon a heavenly throne which is also the same throne of his father David? Is this what (Ps 132: 10-18, and Acts 2:29-36) is teaching and is it the understanding that the apostle Peter had? If that is true could you explain the time frame and fulfillment of the following passage in relationship to David's throne, his house being built, a place for the people Israel and his kingdom established in (2Sam 7:10-17). This came to David from the vision of the prophet Nathan.
Here the scripture:
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
[SUP]11 [/SUP]And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
[SUP]15 [/SUP]But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
Where does (Matt 19:38) fit in, especially the phrase, 'in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory?' and concerning the time when the twelve shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Has this scene taken place, if so, then when, and if it is future then when are we to understand it will take place? I personally do not see the twelve sitting on thrones actively judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Can you help me out on this?
