Isaiah 9:6-7

6 ^aFor to us a child is born,
to us ^ba son is given;
^cand the government shall be ^dupon ^{▼▼Or is upon} his shoulder,
and his name shall be called ^{▼▼Or is called}
Wonderful ^gCounselor, ^hMighty God,
ⁱEverlasting ^jFather, Prince of ^kPeace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace
^lthere will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
^mwith justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
ⁿThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Ezekiel 37:24

24 “My servant ^oDavid ^pshall be king over them, and they shall all have ^qone shepherd. ^rThey shall walk in my rules and be careful to obey my statutes.

Daniel 2:44-45

44 And in the days of those kings ^sthe God of heaven will set up ^ta kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. ^uIt shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and ^vit shall stand forever, 45 just as ^wyou saw that ^xa stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that ^yit broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A ^zgreat God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”

Zechariah 6:12-13

12 And say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, the man whose name is ^aathe Branch: for he shall branch out from his place, and ^abhe shall build the temple of the Lord. 13 ^acIt is he who shall build the temple of the Lord ^adand shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule on his throne. And there shall be a ^aepriest on his throne, ^afand the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”’

Luke 1:32-33

32 He will be great and will be called the Son of ^agthe Most High. And the Lord God ^ahwill give to him the throne of ^aihis father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob ^ajforever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

John 12:34

34 So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that ^akthe Christ remains forever. How can you say that ^althe Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
