Okay then, what should we call that group of theologians within the Church today that don't believe that Jesus will rule again on the throne of David
Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Hbr 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hbr 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
Hbr 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Keep in my we're talking about the resurrected Christ. As far as I'm concerned, Christ is already ruling on high. He has sat down with the Father according to Hebrews. What did the resurrected Christ sit down on if not a throne? Why would Christ need an "earthly" throne when He has a most heavenly glorious one?

Are you trying to tell me that the throne that His Father is sitting on now, with His Son at His right hand, is the throne of David? Did His Father have a throne before David?Where does it say that His Father would sit on the the throne of David? Jesus, Son Of David, is prophesied to sit on that throne? Is His Father the son of David?

(TRUTH : Ignore it. Deride it. Allegorize it. Interpret it. But you can't ESCAPE it.)
