Will believers of Jesus rule the nations? ~ Cross reference of Revelation 2:27 to Psalm 2:9
Jesus seems to be promising his believers that they will be given power just as Jesus received power so they will rule the nations. The expectation is that the believer should hold onto the faith till the end. I guess this means till Jesus returns. The cross reference to Psalm 2:9 is used to assert that this was already declared by David. Sad part is Psalm 2 is extensively used to say it is about Jesus and here we see that it is being used for all Christians who believe in Jesus. This is far from the truth, as Psalm 2 is about David telling that G-d told him he is G-d's son and if David asked G-d for the nations, G-d would give him the authority over nations. This is exactly what happened, wherein David subdued all the nations around him with the help of G-d. All Images are links to Google Images. Copyright violations not intended.
