The king in hades

When I used to rule over Israel as a king, the Lord had blessed me with so much glory, that “He placed my enemies as a stool for my feet”(psalm 110). I am David, and my kingdom lasted seventy years, though I know that the eternal kingdom is yet to come, together with its eternal king.

Adam and Eve and all the prophets and righteous men who ever lived on earth, we all are waiting... “but my trust is in you, O Lord(psalm 31:14) for you will not leave my soul in hell”(psalm 16:10).

Finally we can say “God is love”(John 4:16) and in his love, we can live the true life, “for he is not a God of the dead, but of the living, for all live unto him.”(Luke 20:38).
