After the exile, the people of Israel lived under the domination of gentile nations. The Davidic throne was deposed, and the reality of the kingdom gave way to the promise that one day God would restore David’s throne through the coming of the Messiah. Many waited to see what seemed like an impossible promise. But in the fullness of time, God sent his son to make sure that his every promise would in him find fulfillment. The king would come not to satisfy the expectations of men but to make sure God’s will is done as it is in heaven.
