Question
Luke 1:33 says that Christ will rule the House of Jacob forever. Isn't the House of Jacob a physical human nation or tribe? How is it that Christ will rule it forever? Thank you.
Hello,
Thanks for this great question. You are correct to believe that the House of Jacob refers to God's chosen people Israel. I believe that Jesus will return one day and set up a physical kingdom. Eventually He will create a new Heaven and Earth... and still rule over God's people Israel.
I hope that this helps you.
In Christ
Pastor Don

I believe that every word of the Bible is God-Breathed. This blessed book is the foundation of truth for faith and practice. If you ask this volunteer a question you will receive an answer from the Bible that is based upon a litteral, normal interpretation, taking into account the grammar and culture of the time.
Experience
I have been in the ministry almost 20 years. During this time, the Lord has used me as Senior Pastor, counsellor, youth pastor and generally in the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry.
