Acts 15:14-16
14Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
Isaiah 33:22
For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.
Isaiah 32:1-2
1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. 2And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
1 Corinthians 15:25
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
