“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.”
Jeremiah 23:5 KJV
Jeremiah prophesied this six hundred years before Jesus was born. The Jews knew that the Messiah would be a King, a descendant of David, Who would reign and prosper executing judgment and justice on the earth. Jeremiah also prophesied that a new covenant would be made wherein God would write His laws upon the hearts of men and all would know God directly and receive forgiveness. People still look for the outward pomp and circumstance but God looks into the heart. That’s where Jesus reigns. He executes judgment and justice through forgiveness when a heart is repentant. Jesus Who knew no sin became sin that the repentant heart would through forgiveness receive the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. The false, insincere, corrupt hearts of people can only be changed by true and sincere repentance through the Blood sacrifice of Jesus. That’s how Jesus executes judgment and justice, reigning in our hearts to prosper us according to His riches in glory. Glory to God and peace on earth!
