• “I Will Raise Up One Shepherd”
    Pure Worship of Jehovah—Restored At Last!

    • The Gentile Times, or “the appointed times of the nations,” ended in 1914 when Jehovah conferred kingship on Jesus Christ. (Luke 21:24) As a descendant of King David, Jesus indeed had “the legal right” to the Messianic Kingdom.b (Gen. 49:10) Hence, in Jesus, Jehovah fulfilled his solemn promise to give David a permanent heir to an everlasting Kingdom.​—Luke 1:32, 33.

      Jesus as a King, wearing a crown and holding a scepter.

      Jesus has the legal right to be King of God’s Kingdom (See paragraph 15)

      15. Why can we have the utmost confidence in the King, Jesus Christ?

      15 What we can learn from the prophecy. We can have the utmost confidence in the King, Jesus Christ. Why? Because unlike worldly rulers who may be elected by humans or may usurp ruling authority, Jesus was chosen by Jehovah and “given . . . a kingdom” to which he has the legal right. (Dan. 7:13, 14) Surely the King whom Jehovah himself has appointed deserves our confidence!
