Like David, Jesus is a conquering king. Shortly after he was installed as King of God's Kingdom, he conquered Satan in battle and hurled him and his demons down to the earth. (Rev. 12:7-9) His victorious ride will continue until he will "complete his conquest," completely destroying Satan's wicked system. (Rev. 19:11, 19-21) Like David, though, Jesus is a compassionate king, and he will protect the "great crowd" through Armageddon. (Rev. 7:9, 14) Furthermore, under the rule of Jesus and his joint heirs, the resurrected 144,000, there will be "a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." (Acts 24:15) Those who are resurrected on earth will have the prospect of living forever. What a wonderful future awaits them! May we all be determined to continue to "do what is good," so that we will be alive when the earth is filled with righteous, happy subjects of the Greater David.-Ps. 37:27-29. w09 4/15 5:10, 11
