How do we know Christ is the ultimate King?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the ultimate King as He fulfills the prophetic role of David, established from eternity, as seen in Revelation 22:16.

The assertion that Christ is the ultimate King finds its roots in Old Testament prophecy and fulfillment. In Revelation 22:16, Jesus identifies Himself as 'the root and the offspring of David.' This dual aspect highlights both His divine origin and His rightful place in the Davidic lineage. The anointing of David serves as a typology of Christ, where David's life foreshadows the Messiah's kingship. Not only was David chosen for his heart aligned with God, but he was also divinely appointed to reflect the greater calling of Christ. Furthermore, Psalm 2:6 proclaims, 'Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion,' indicating God's deliberate act of establishing His spiritual reign through Christ. Therefore, the continuity from David to Christ exemplifies God's sovereign plan in appointing the ultimate ruler for His people.
