(2.) He will be very highly preferred in the lower world; for, though born under the most disadvantageous circumstances possible, and appearing in the form of a servant, yet the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David, v. 32. He puts her in mind that she was of the house of David; and that therefore, since neither the Salique law, nor the right of primogeniture, took place in the entail of his throne, it was not impossible but that she might bring forth an heir to it, and therefore might the more easily believe it when she was told by an angel from heaven that she should do so, that after the sceptre had been long departed from that ancient and honourable family it should now at length return to it again, to remain in it, not by succession, but in the same hand to eternity. His people will not give him that throne, will not acknowledge his right to rule them; but the Lord God shall give him a right to rule them, and set him as his king upon the holy hill of Zion. He assures her, [1.] That his kingdom shall be spiritual: he shall reign over the house of Jacob, not Israel according to the flesh, for they neither came into his interests nor did they continue long a people; it must therefore be a spiritual kingdom, the house of Israel according to the promise, that he must rule over. [2.] That it shall be eternal: he shall reign for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end, as there had been long since of the temporal reign of David’s house, and would shortly be of the state of Israel. Other crowns endure not to every generation, but Christ’s doth, Prov. 27:24. The gospel is the last dispensation, we are to look for no other.
Stop quoting confused people and refer to your BIBLE!Matt Henry

He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever.—Here, again, the apparent promise is that of a kingdom restored to Israel such as the disciples expected even after the Resurrection (Acts 1:6). It needed to be interpreted by events before men could see that it was fulfilled in the history of Christendom as the true Israel of God (Romans 9:6; Galatians 6:16).
Of his kingdom there shall be no end.—The words of St. Paul, in 1Corinthians 15:24-28, seem at first to point to a limit of time when the kingdom of the Christ shall find an end, but a closer study of his meaning shows that he is speaking of that kingdom as involving contest with the hostile forces of evil. The exercise of sovereignty may, in this sense, cease when all conflict is over, but it ceases by being perfected, not by passing away after the fashion of earthly kingdoms. The delegated or mediatorial headship of the Christ is merged in the absolute unity of the monarchy of God.

The Bible has the answers that you despise.
Over the house of Jacob - The house of Jacob means the same thing as the "family" of Jacob, or the descendants of Jacob - that is, the children of Israel. This was the name by which the ancient people of God were known, and it is the same as saying that he would reign over his own church and people forever. This he does by giving them laws, by defending them, and by guiding them; and this he will do forever in the kingdom of his glory.
Of his kingdom there shall be no end - He shall reign among his people on earth until the end of time, and be their king forever in heaven. his is the only kingdom that shall never have an end; he the only King that shall never lay aside his diadem and robes, and that shall never die. "He "the only King that can defend us from all our enemies, sustain us in death, and reward us in eternity. O how important, then, to have an interest in his kingdom! and how unimportant, compared with "his" favor, is the favor of all earthly monarchs!
Israel is a man that God named (formerly Jacob) and a nation that bears his name. That is what the Bible says.I know everyone else is wrong. They dont consult and believe the bible like you do.
Barnes notes:
Yeah Yeah.Israel is a man that God named (formerly Jacob) and a nation that bares his name. That is what the Bible says.
Your perverted version of "Israel" is not from God.

That's EXACTLY what my post says. Did you read it?Okay, you are dead wrong on that one. While it is true that Israel is a man, Israel is also a nation.
What does this have to do with anything?Shema Yisrael (Shema Israel or Sh'ma Yisrael; Hebrew: שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל; "Hear, O Israel") is a Jewish prayer, and is also the first two words of a section of the Torah, and is the title (better known as The Shema) of a prayer that serves as a centerpiece of the morning and evening Jewish prayer services. The first verse encapsulates the monotheistic essence of Judaism: "Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one" (Hebrew: שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד׃), found in Deuteronomy 6:4.[1]
Deuteronomy 6:4
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
…3Hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you. 4Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.5And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.…

Nationality is no barrier to God's mercy because He is no respecter of persons. He loves mercy and will shew mercy on all who come to Him seeking His forgiveness for sins.Nationally means nothing as far as being saved is concerned, God is no respect or of persons, but all nationalities are given saving love and grace. Same thing with sex, scripture says there's neither male or female in Christ. That doesn't mean women and men are not distnctint. It means God does not favor one over the other when giving saving love and grace.
He loves mercy and will shew mercy on all who come to Him seeking His forgiveness for sins.
Rom 3:11
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Rom 9:15
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
I nearly died of heart failure in my naval barracks room because of alcohol (Dec. 30, 1990). I awoke and my heart was beating very fast. I was drifting back to a drunken sleep when an inner voice told me. "If you fall back to sleep you will not wake up." I took that to mean I would die in my sleep. I got up and was wondering what to do. I was scared to leave my barracks room. The voice came again and told me. "Get to a hospital now." I went to the barracks office and requested a ride to the hospital. At ER the doctor admitted me and had me take medicine to slow down my heart. I never drank again. To me that voice came from God. So I believe God reaches out to those who do not always reach out to Him first. I did not deserve to be saved, but am very grateful and blessed.So if God reveals Himself to someone who is not seeking after Him, perhaps because he was not aware of God, or perhaps because he was in rebellion against Him, can the person then choose to seek God?
In other words, if God makes the first move, can a man respond to that move?
