Answered in 1 source
The Bible declares Jesus as the King of the Jews, fulfilling prophecy and recognizing His eternal kingship.
Matthew 2:2 introduces Jesus as the 'born King of the Jews,' emphasizing His rightful place on the throne, even from birth. This kingship is both earthly and spiritual, encapsulating the prophecies found in Micah 5:2 and Isaiah 9:6, which affirm His birth in Bethlehem and highlight His eternal nature. The term 'King of the Jews' signifies His authority over a people chosen by God, extending beyond ethnicity to encompass all believers, as articulated in Romans 2:28-29 and Romans 9:6, identifying true Israelites as those inwardly transformed by grace and electing love.
