Now let’s take a look at the desire of the Lord. It is documented in Psalm chapter 132 by oath to the second king of Israel.
11 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
13 For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
God swore in truth to David and is unwilling to turn from His oath. The oath is twofold; one that out of David’s lineage, God will come into the family of man and will establish His Throne.
This is so because God has chosen Zion (Jerusalem) as His habitation because He has desired to do so. He concludes that this is His rest forever, this is where the Lord will dwell. Zion or Jerusalem is on the earth.
This is a polar opposite desire than the one of satan who was thrust out of Heaven (for having his own desire separate from the Lords).
The Lord’s Very Public Desire
The angel Gabriel gave Mary the same prophecy as we’ve read in Psalm chapter 132, of sitting on David’s throne. See Luke chapter 1:
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
If God’s desire is to rule on the earth forever on David’s throne, where does the Rapture come into play?
