Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me - The Codex Alexandrinus, with some other MSS., the later Syriac, and Origen, read in the first clause, διαθηκην, a covenant. I appoint unto you a Covenant, as my Father hath appointed unto me a kingdom: - Ye shall be ministers of the new covenant, as I am king in that spiritual kingdom to which it relates. This is a curious reading: but our Lord is probably to be understood as promising that they should get a kingdom - a state of blessedness, as he should get it - they must go through much tribulation in order to enter into the kingdom of God. So the Son of man suffered that he might enter into his glory: for the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross, and despised the shame, and is set down on the right hand of God.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
I appoint, &c.--Who is this that dispenses kingdoms, nay, the Kingdom of kingdoms, within an hour or two of His apprehension, and less than a day of His shameful death? These sublime contrasts, however, perpetually meet and entrance us in this matchless history.
John Gill Bible Commentary
That ye may eat, and drink, at my table, in my kingdom,.... In the Gospel dispensation, or Gospel church state, in which Christ has a table, called the table of the Lord, Co1 10:21 which is the Lord's supper, and is a table well furnished with the best of provisions, his flesh and blood, of which believers may eat and drink with a hearty welcome; Christ himself being present to sup with them: and in his personal reign on earth, where will be the marriage supper of the Lamb, to which all the saints will be called; and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and be regaled with joys and pleasures not to be expressed: and in the ultimate glory, when the Lamb shall feed them, and shall lead them to fountains of water; and they shall never hunger nor thirst more, but shall have fulness of joy, and be satiated with pleasures that will never fade nor end: and sit on thrones; expressive of the great honour and dignity they were raised to, both in this, and the other world, from a low and mean estate, being before as beggars on the dunghill, now among princes, and on thrones, even on the same throne with Christ; see Sa1 2:8 judging the twelve tribes of Israel; doctrinally and ministerially; accusing the Jews, and arraigning them for the crucifixion of Christ; passing sentence upon them, and condemning them, and declaring that they should be damned for their disbelief and rejection of him; See Gill on Mat 19:28.

The Shining Testimony
By Raymond Golsworthy0PSA 106:8ISA 28:5ISA 60:1ISA 66:1DAN 12:3MAT 13:43LUK 22:29JHN 17:10ROM 9:23ROM 11:36EPH 2:1REV 21:10Raymond Golsworthy preaches on Isaiah 60, where God calls His people to 'Arise and shine' as His light and glory rise upon them. The chapter reveals God's plans for the resurrection and restoration of His people, leading to a shining testimony of His power and glory. Through five significant names given to the favored city, the sermon emphasizes God's desire for His Church to be the vessel of His glory, the place of His sanctuary, the place of His feet, an eternal excellency, and the branch of His planting, all pointing to the deep relationship between God and His redeemed people.
Are You a Regular at the Lord's Table?
By David Wilkerson0Spiritual RevelationCommunion with ChristPSA 23:5LUK 22:29David Wilkerson emphasizes the importance of communion at the Lord's table, highlighting that it is a place of intimacy where believers receive food, strength, wisdom, and fellowship from Christ. He points out that many Christians have a limited understanding of the grandeur of this calling and often seek material blessings instead of a deeper revelation of Jesus. Wilkerson encourages believers to pursue an ever-increasing knowledge of Christ, as exemplified by Paul, who sought to understand the 'unsearchable riches of Christ' through the Holy Spirit. He reminds us that God has prepared a royal table for us, inviting us to partake in the bread of life and experience His glory. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a commitment to deeper communion with Christ.
Coming to His Table
By David Wilkerson0Spiritual IntimacyCommunion with ChristLUK 22:29David Wilkerson emphasizes the significance of coming to the Lord's table, where believers are invited to experience spiritual intimacy and communion with Christ. He highlights that many in the church fail to grasp the honor of being seated with Christ in heavenly places, often becoming too busy with service rather than nurturing their relationship with Him. Wilkerson urges believers to continually seek nourishment and strength from the Lord, as true joy comes from communion rather than mere activity. He points out that a deeper revelation of Christ's vastness is essential to overcoming life's challenges, encouraging believers to pursue a personal and intimate relationship with Him. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a return to the feast at the Lord's table, where true spiritual growth and understanding occur.
Part 3: Amillenniallism in the Ancient Church
By John F. Walvoord0DAN 7:13MAT 20:20LUK 22:29JHN 14:2ACT 1:61CO 15:232TI 2:152PE 1:202PE 3:8John F. Walvoord delves into the historical background of amillennialism and premillennialism, highlighting the revival of interest in millennial theology due to the decline of postmillennialism and the rise of premillennialism in recent years. The arguments surrounding the millennium have been characterized by a fresh study of ancient church literature, vigorous attacks on premillennialism, and a renewed investigation of millennialism in the early church. The sermon explores the lack of concrete evidence for amillennialism in the first and second centuries, with only disputed testimonies and a shift towards allegorical interpretations in the third century leading to the rise of amillennialism.
Part 10: The Historical Context of Premillennialism
By John F. Walvoord0MAT 20:20LUK 1:32LUK 22:29ACT 1:6ROM 11:1ROM 11:291CO 15:232TI 3:162PE 1:20John F. Walvoord delves into the historical context and theological significance of modern premillennialism, highlighting the challenges faced by this doctrine throughout history. He emphasizes the importance of the infallibility of Scripture, literal interpretation, evangelicalism, opposition to ecclesiasticism, and the emphasis on prophetic studies within the framework of premillennialism. Walvoord traces the roots of premillennialism from the Old and New Testaments, through the early church, to its resurgence in modern times, portraying it as a system of Biblical interpretation that honors the Word of God and prepares believers for the second coming of Christ.
Of the Kingly Office of Christ.
By John Gill0The Kingly Office of ChristChrist's Eternal ReignPSA 2:6ISA 9:6LUK 22:29HEB 1:8John Gill expounds on the kingly office of Christ, emphasizing that He reigns both by nature as God and by office as Mediator. Christ's kingdom is universal, encompassing all creation, and He exercises authority over both good and evil beings. His reign is characterized by righteousness, peace, and the gradual expansion of His spiritual kingdom, which is established through the ministry of the Word and the work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of believers. Gill highlights that Christ's kingdom is everlasting, with no end, and will ultimately culminate in His glorious reign over all creation.
