Editorial: "The Christian Dilema: Fellowship with the World Versus Evangelisn in the World":

There's always been a "great outcry" and even a "complaint" against the Christian church from people with a  "worldly view"  that the church won't fellowship with the world and tends to stay behind the four wall of the church building and fellowship only with itself. What the world doesn't understand about the social makeup of God's Church is the Christian in it is a "called out body of people"Firstt they are called out to live by the oracles of Holy Writ- The Bible and then to evangelize the world in order to gather a people of every race, and creed for the Lord Jesus Christ. A friend of mine on facebook raised an important and true assessment of the plight of the modern church.This is my sincere response to the complaint he raised with true accuracy. Except where there are revisions in this brief article, much of what I say here was said on his facebook post....

Let me start by saying I share his position, but for a much deeper reason than maybe he 's aware of. I understand why this dilema exists.: There exist basically two highly probably explanations why we have the dilema he raised and I hope to by the aid of the Holy Spirit give sound reasoning in the following perspective:

First, when Christians truly fellowship with other Christians, according to (Proverbs 27:17: "As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend". NKJV) the Bible says it is "iron" sharpening "iron" that is "stronger friends sharpening the new found "weaker friends in the faith"... to prepare them to go out into the world along with those who are strong and compel "non- christians" to become "one with Jesus Christ" and plead with them to make him their "Lord and Savior"....The Church is both a school and a hospital full of "recovering sin addicts"! and because of this fact; in the same manner the world's sin-addicts cling to one another, ...you see a whole lot of "clinging" within the church fellowship! It's a habit they learned while in the world....

Now, at some point while in "spiritual" rehab,(the sanctification process) the patients get well enough to go back into society and share the "wonderful and glorious" experience of their rehab... that is to tell the good news that Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE... and invite those who they meet and mingle with to meet HIM. They testify to the world: "What a wonderful change has been wrought in my life since Jesus came into my heart!" They do this by continuing the rehab program of the church ( which is based on 4 "biblical perscriptions: FELLOWSHIP, STEWARDSHIP, CORRECT BIBLE DOCTRINE AND FINALLY EVANGELISM.

For the many of Pastors. preachers, Ministers and Teachers and anyone else who feels the same way; What my friend correctly proposed can only be done if....and only if....the "true Christian" is living by the same standards Jesus did while he traveled to spread the good news...... Unfortunately, unlike Jesus, there are too many who attend church who profess to be Christians but aren't willing to fully embrace what this really means, especially in terms of how God wants to order their lives versus them having the attitude:" Okay God, now that I'm saved, I'll take over from here!"....

You have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk! The reason is simple: if you don't and keep pertetrating a lie, when those who do go out, not to fellowship, but to befriend and show the "non-Christian" a more excellent way, many "non-Christians" in the world will cry: The Church is full of hypocrites! Let's face real facts: the world sees a " hyprocisy" in many "professed Christians" who are in reality in church, but are not really in Christians; they are just in the fellowship In the Book of Jude, Jude called them "Nicoliatanes"....or to translate: the great pretenders!

Second... while it is the mandate of the church to "evangelize" the world, a fellowship with those who are not truly seeking to be saved will oppose a "real challenge" to the one who goes out , but is not fully equipped to handle the "interactive fellowship". We go out to gain our brother and sister ...not to return to our old "stomping gropund where we lived in darkness.and show them by word and deed the advantage of a Christian life fully connected to Jesus Christ.

Contrary to what it seems, the Christian needs their fellow Christian and the fellowship that develops along with the relationship, just as much as tobeying he mandate that compels us to go out and make disciples. You know as well as I know that there are many "weak members" of the faith that cause and stir up unnecessary drama within the church fellowship...That's a part of the rehap process too! It's called "spiritual withdrawal" Regeneration by the Holy Spirit makes the rehab sucessful and the person truly becaomes a "new creatrion in Jesus Christ! Imagine that same person out fellowshipping with those who are" not of the way" having the same "carnal attitude" they are going to face..yet making the claim to represent Christ....That weak Christian will fool around and end up back in the world doing worse than they were doing the first time.

When strong Christians go out into society, knowing the real purpose and lovingly focus on that; evangelizing wherever God sends to to whomever He sends them to ...the results will be othen a "new convert" in Jesus Christ and a true and lasting fellowship with them. Finally Remember the Scriptures are explicitly clear on this :Righeousness can't have "real fellowship" with unrighteousness...They are "polar opposites" and we were told by Christ Himself to come out from among them and be separated from them. May God bless all who reads.....

Mystery III "The Union of the Jews and Gentiles in One Body": The Church
Ephesians 3:1-11
"For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to youward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus Our Lord":

The Church:  A "Mystery"

            The third "mystery" according to the Apostle Paul is the Church. In the Epistle or letter he wrote to the Church of Ephesus, Apostle Paul wrote to Ephesuis that God gave to him by "revelation"  another "mystery." that was not known in other ages, or unto the "sons of men. It was not known in the Old Testament because the Sons of Jacob (Israel) was told by God thru Moses as they passed through the each foreign countries toward Canaan both not to intermingle with "heathen" nations (Gentiles) nor intermarry with them.  God also told them "definitely" not to copy their "heathen" traditions or serve any of their "false" gods. That the Gentiles should be "fellow heirs", and "partakers" of the same body, and promises in Christ by the gospel was "mysterious" because for this to take place, there had to be a shift from "exclusion to inclusion" and not only did the Gospel message opened the door for this, but Jesus having being rejected by his own people the Jews (John 1:11-12) opened the door to any one who would believe and receive him as their Messiah. 
             In Ephesians 3:3, Paul refers to "this revelation" which was made to him when he was called to the apostolic office,as the gospel now being preached to the Gentiles, and that he was converted for the "special purpose" of carrying it to them; Understand that It's no mystery that Gentiles would be saved. The mystery is that God formed a "new thing" called the church that would be comprised of both Jew and Gentile followers. To understand the mystery of the church, listen to what the Prophet Isaiah said in Isaiah 43:19: "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland". 

            In this verse, Isaiah intimates that something totally different is coming in the future. Isaiah didn't not see the church in the message he gave Israel which means he too only knew "in part". He saw what many orthodox Jews cling to in terms of their future relatinship with God. So he told them  exactly what God was going to do in it's entirety, as God revealed,andt he did tell the Hebrews that whatever it was, they needed to forget the former way in verse 13.  Isaiah also gave Israel valuable insight about the type of Messiah Israel was to look for and why they needed to hold on to the ways of Jehovah and get rid of all forms of idolatry. To further illustrate just how much of a mystery the forming of the church really was, examine the following passage Jesus quoted in the temple "in part"  and not in intirety.
            In Isaiah 61:1-5 Isaiah wrote: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord , and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord , that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers."
            Now, in Luke 4:18 Jesus was in the temple on the sabbath and took the scroll that contained Isaiah 61. Notice that when Jesus read from this scroll, he stopped reading after the phrase:" to preach the acceptable year of the Lord!" (verse 2a) The reason he did this was for two reasons: First, because Jesus "already knew" that he would be rejected by the Jews and thus, it to fulfill the rest of the passage, it would require a "second coming." 
            "Second", between Jesus' "first coming" when he was rejected by the "chosen" people" (Israel) and subsequently crucified and his "second coming" when he will come back to earth with "power and great glory"  in the "Revelation stage" when He set up HIs "Millennial Kingdom" and reign for 1000 years, Jesus would set up the "basis" and "standard" for the church (Matthew 16:13-18) while he was still physically on earth, and from the day of "Pentecost" some 45 days after his ascention, the Apostles, now empowered by the Holy Spirit would preach the Gospel to "every nation both Jew and Gentile" and the church would come to fruition.
            In Jesus' "first coming", the Apostle John described how he was rejected by "His own
John 1:11-13
" He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.  Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God". (NIV)

            As you can see in this very passage, it was no secret that the Gentiles would be saved. Gentiles followed his ministry and became disciples while he was physically on earth. The first church was Jewish in makeup beyond the temple worhip. The Gentiles broke through the physical structuring of the Church in Acts 9:36- 43. Finnis J. Dake in th Dake's Annotated Reference Bible made the folowing observation concerning the Apostle Peter raising Dorcas (Tabitha) from the dead in Acts 9:36- 43. We find out in this passage that forming of the Chrstian church took "two distinct periods" to fully come to fruition. Dakes comments concernng the "first period" of the Christian Church:

            "With the resurrection of Dorcas we have the ending of the first period of the Christian church. About 8 years had passed since Pentecost, during which time the gospel had been preached only to the Jews. (Refer to Matthew 10:6; John 1:11, and Rom 1:16). The church was founded by Jews and for Jews. The time had now arrived when God wanted to take the gospel to the Gentiles. He knew and predicted that the Jews would reject the gospel, so He planned to change administrations". (Refer to Matthew 21:33-46). The "conversion" of Saul of Tarsus was in preparation for this change of religious programs.Concerning the "Second Period" of the Christian Church, Dake writes:

            "In the second period of the church there was a gradual change in the gospel program to fit the Gentiles. Not that the gospel itself was changed, but it was purged of all mixture with the law of Moses. Soon Gentile ministers and churches appeared and a new program for Gentiles was settled on by general conference (Refer to Acts 15; Galatians 2; 3:19-25; 4:21-31; Colossians 2:14-17; 2 Corinthians 3:6-15; and Hebrews 7; 8; 9; 10).  
            
            In Acts 10, the Apostle Peter  was sent by a vision to Caesarea to a Gentile centurion's house name Cornelius. In this passage, we see not just the conversion of Gentiles, but we see how God furthers breaks down the "prejudice" that built up over the centuries against the Gentiles as a nation of non-Jewish people. In order for both Jew and Gentile would become one people, that is "saved in the oneness of Christ" and becoming "one body in Christ", Peter had to preach to Cornelius and those who were in the house "God's plan of salvation". In the 44th verse, the Holy Spirit "fell upon" all the Gentiles in Cornelius' house. This "act "of God began the process breaking down "spiritual and predjudicial barriers" between the Jewish church and the saved Gentiles. Peter further confirms in Acts chapter 11 that the Holy Spirit fell upon them in the same manner as the Spirit fell upon the Jews on the Day of Pentecost". 

            Jesus gives us the basis and the origin of how the church will be formed in Matthew 16:13-18. In this passage, Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.  And I tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hadesd will not overcome it".

            So, the mystery is the church is a "called out body", comprised of people from many nations, kindreds and tribes; both Jewish and Gentile. The Apostle Paul further states in Ephesians 4:4-6: "There is one body and one Spirit— just as you were called to one hope when you were called one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all". (NIV) The church is an organism, not an organization! 

            Therefore, in Jesus Christ, all "racial and class distinctions" dissapear, and when all racial and social prejudices dissapear from the mindset of saved people of all races that make up the Body of Christ, then truly a "Hoily Brotherhood can truly exist.

"The Davidic Covenant"
2 Samuel 7:8-17
"Now then, tell my servant David, 'This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture and from following the flock to be ruler over my people Israel.  I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men of the earth.  And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning  and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies. "'The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you:  When your days are over and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with the rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men. But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you.  Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.'" Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.

Introduction: Prophesies Concerning  the Davidic Kingdom
        God made many promise to Israel. Among them are prophecies concerning the land and prophecies concerning the Kingdonm of David. God's promise of a "Davidic Kingdom" is very important because it goes a long way in explaining the history of this kingdom in it starred past , as well as in its bright future. In addition to this, at stake was the burning qiestion as taught by those who are "pre-millienalist" by belief: If there is to be a future kingdom of David that coincides with the second coming of Jesus Christ on earth? 

        If the answer is "yes", then, the Davidic Covenant is "dualistic", that is, it is a covenant that applies to David's actual reign as king after Saul, the first king of  Israel was detroned by Jehovah, as well as applies to a "future kingdom" when Jesus Christ will rule on earth as king for "1000 years" in Jerusalem and David will rule as "co-regent", thus making it true that David will play a major role in the kingdom of God on earth and it will be a  "kingdom in which there will be no end!

        In Genesis 17:6-7, we get the initial basis on the fact that there would be kingdoms. Listen to what God said to Abraham: "I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.  I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you". God then reinterated the same promise in reference to Sarah in verses 15 and 16: God also said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her." (NIV) God spoke this same promise in the lives of Isaac , in Genesis 26:2-5, and to Jacob, Isaac's younger son in Genesis 28:13-15. God then in the lineage of Jacob's 12 sons "narrowed" the promise to Judah and made the following promise to concerning Judah in Genesis 49:10:  "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be". (KJV)

Promise of the Kingdom Revealed to David:    
        All of the provisions concerning the future kingdom promised to David by God are found in both 2 Samuel 7:4-17 and 1 Chronicles 17. David desired to build  a temple of the Lord and replace the tent structure that housed the Ark of the Covenant that God had given Moses instructions to build in the wilderness. David contacted Nathan, a young prophet to enquire to God concerning this matter. Nathan, without consulting God gave David the go ahead to build the temple.  Afterwards, God instructed Nathan to go back to David with a revised outline concerning the temple and the overall  purpose God had for his life. Nathan in this revision revealed "God's larger plan" for the remainder of David's life, a plan that included the role his "yet unborn son" would play in the fulfillment of the building of this temple David desired to buld.   Nathan told David that  his yet unborn son (Solomon) would build the temple instead . But as for the future of David's life as king, God would raise up for David a "house". This meant that  God would bless David's descendants and they through the Southern Kingdom would always have a relative sit on the throne as king and fulfill the promise of Genesis 49:10 through David's lineage. 

Breaking Down the Davidic Covenant:
    The covenant was revealed to David at Jerusalem by Nathan the Prophet. It represented a "dispensational change" from the "Dispensation of Law" to the "Dispensation of Grace". This covenant came with one condition: based on "disobenience". "Disobedience" would lead to both "chastisment" and would cause  "postponement" of the promise, but would not "annul" the Covenant.
This Covenant is based on "4 Promises": 

1.    There would be a "House of David":
"'The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you: When your days are over and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.  I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with the rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men. But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you.  Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.'" 2 Samuel 7:11-16 ((NIV)     
        
       According to 2 samuel, this is what God told Nathan to say to David: "I took you from the pasture and from following the flock to be ruler over my people Israel.  I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men of the earth.  And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning and have done ever since the time I appointed leadersa over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies".
       God makes this "important" point that pertains to everybody HE chooses to elevate in state and stature that "HE" must first of all build a man's house (spiritually), before the man can build God's house (literally), and applies it especially to the kingdom of God in Israel. As long as the quiet and full possession of the land of Canaan, which had been promised by the Lord to the people of God for their inheritance, was disputed by their enemies round about, even the dwelling place of their God could not assume any other form than that of "a wanderer's tent".

Note:    Once the kingdom of God in Israel acquires its rest and consolation through the efforts of David (the Warrior), as God through his efforts will have made all his foes (Israel's)  subject to him and established his throne firmly, this would bring the assurrance that his descendants would possess the rule of the kingdom for all future time, then God would make it so and build David a house, and then his seed should build the house of the Lord. 
        This was a "future" prophecy to be fulfilled in  Solomon, David's yet unborn son. He  would build God's  temple, not David, because David, being a "man of war" had much blood from the fighting of many wars on his hands. The temple would be built during a time of peace between the Southern Kingdom and her "would be"  enemies.

2.      There will be a "Continual Throne" of "David":
 "I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever"
    
    According to verse 13, the Kingdon of David would be "pepetual" and never be destroyed. In order for this to take place, this prophecy had to have a "dual" meaning. 
        First, it meant that starting from the reign of Solomon and his ancestry, a "descendant" of David regardless of their state and status, would reign as king and God intimated in refeerence to what he said concerning Solomon the possibility that there could be possible breaks in the succession because of the behavior and style of rule of Solomon and those who would suceed him generationally in th future. but even with that, no other tribal family would ever have a king out of their loins hold reign to the throne.
         In the succession of rulers that actually served as king in the Southern Kingdom, all were descendants of David. There were 20 rulers in all over a pereiod of about 326 years, out of which there were only 8 of David's descendants ruled in the righteousness of God. The 20th and last reigning king "Zedekiah" was so wicked that God declared that none of his sons would ever sit on the throne and become king and none did. Every one of Zedekiah's sons died during the final Babylonian seige that put the  entire Southern Kingdom in Babylonian captivity at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar. This created  a temporary break in the house of David and postpone a "sitting" king on the throne to rule over the house of Israel.
     
Second:   God's Proclamation Concerning the Throne to Jeremiah 22:24-30
 "As surely as I live," declares the Lord , "even if you, Jehoiachinc son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on my right hand, I would still pull you off. I will hand you over to those who seek your life, those you fear — to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to the Babylonians.I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. You will never come back to the land you long to return to." Is this man Jehoiachin a despised, broken pot, an object no one wants? Why will he and his children be hurled out, cast into a land they do not know? O land, land, land, hear the word of the Lord ! This is what the Lord says: "Record this man as if childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime, for none of his offspring will prosper, none will sit on the throne of David or rule anymore in Judah." 

          According to the  Prophet Jeremiah in Jeremaih 22: 24-30, the actions and behavior of Jechonias (Jehochin or Zedekiah) caused God's anger to become so fierce that God declared through the Prophet Jeremiah that none of Zedekiah's sons would ever sit on Judah's throne and none ever did.This cause the throne to become vacant and for over 700 years, neither Israel (Northern Kingdom) or Judah (Southern Kingdom) had a sitting monarch on the throne. Both were now in captivity by Gentile nations. Until Jesus came, there was no descendant of David that could satisfy God's prophetic declaration for a pepetual ruler out of the house od David. 
         Jehovah in his infinite wisdom and to set up his rule on earth the first time, Jesus fulfilled the prophecy found in Isaiah 7:14 concerning Israel's need for a "Messiah" ,  and the prophecy of Isaiah 9:6-7 one who would deliver them out of the hands of the Roman Empire and would sit on the throne of David and rule with righteousness.  God safeguarded the prophecy of Genesis 49:10 and after the fall of Zedekiah (Jechonias) had postponed the rule of kings over his people because Israel was  '"scattered" nation  among the Gentile nations  by both  the Assyrian and Bablylonian  Empires respectively.    
         In order for Jesus Christ  to become legal  "that King and ruler," Jehovah God had destined to sit on the "throne of David, "2 extremely important events" has to take place and "the 2 people chosen" had to submit to the will of God and agree to God's  "announcement". 
        First, Mary,  who was a descendant of the house of David, through Nathan, the second son of Bathsheba and "represenative" of the "legal" line of house of David submitted to the anouncement of God's "highly favored status" and agreed to  "motherhood of and "impregnation with" the "Son of God" by the Holy Ghost. Luke in St.Luke 3:23-38 traces Jesus' lineage all the way back to Adam the "origin" of the "legal" line.
        Second, Joseph, also a descendant of the Davidic line through Solomon, the first son of Bathsheba who represented the "royal line"  consented to  the marriage to Mary, after a visit by an Angel as he contemplated divorcing her privately. Joseph because he was a descendant of Salantiel (Jehoachin's son born while in exile in babylon) was forbidden from sitting on the throne.
 
Note: Even though Mary was a descendant of David through the legal line of Nathan, Jesus  could not legally occupy the throne through her side of the lineage. 
        To safe guard the "Virgin Birth",Joseph could not be the "biological father" of Jesus, because that would have both disannuled the "virgin birth" and prevented Jesus from occupying the throne because of the prophetic sentence God place on the lineage of Jechonias. Even though Joseph was a descendant of David through the Royal line . Jesus was made the "legal heir" to the throne of David when Joseph consented to marry Mary "after" she had conceived, a fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14. The sentence pronounced on the royal lineage therfore was never biologically compromised and no son of Jeconias lineage ever sat upon the throne.

How the Millenial Kingdom will be a Davidic Throne:
        If the Jews in Biblical history had accepted Jesus as "Messiah", His "Messianic" rule on earth would have been "immediate" and the Roman Empire would have been destroyed at "that moment". fulfilling "the revelation" of the prophetic dream of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2:44-46. Of course, God knew that Jesus would be "rejected" by the Jews. God also knew that Jesus' "occupation" of the Davidic throne was to be postponed until the "Milennial reign" of Jesus Christ at his "Second coming". Jesus, being rejected was not given the crown of the "Royal Diadem" of Israel. According to  Matthew 27:29, Jesus was crowned with a crown of "many thorns", put on a purple robe by the Roman soildiers, and mocked as they bowed in derision in front of him and said "Hail, king of the Jews."

But, one day, HE will receive the crown and the kingdom after the 7-year Tribulation Period is over and Israel has been punished because of their unbelief in him as "Messiah". At that time , the Kingdon of David will be restored and Jesus will rule with a "rod of righteousness" and David will sit at his "right hand" and co-rule" as a Regent.
