The next section I want to address is found in Isaiah 9:6-7.
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."
In these two verses both the birth of Messiah and His establishment on the throne of David as ruler of an everlasting kingdom are foretold.
Once Jesus assumes His throne on planet earth, He will never relinquish it. There will be no elections to choose a successor. These verses describe His kingdom as ordered (stable, prosperous, and perfect from the Hebrew). Its foundation and constitution will never be subject to amendment. It will be perfect from the beginning, and sin will not be tolerated.
Rev. 19:15-16 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
God’s kingdom will continue for eternity—time without end. How will this be accomplished? By God’s zeal, His jealousy; He will not share His authority with another.
Is. 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another….
