Luke 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. The great Swiss historian, John Von Muller, gives the result of his life-long labours, extracted, he says, from seventeen hundred and thirty-three authors, in seventeen thousand folio pages, in this striking confession: "Christ is the key to the history of the world. Not only does all harmonize with the mission of Christ; all is subordinated to it. When I saw this," he adds, "it was to me as wonderful and surprising as the light which St. Paul saw on his way to Damascus, the fulfilment of all hopes, the completion of philosophy, the key to all the apparent contradictions in the physical and the moral; here is life and immortality. I marvel not at miracles; a far greater miracle has been reserved for our times, the spectacle of the connection of all human events in the establishment and preservation of the doctrine of Christ." (Prof. Henry B. Smith.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.WEB: and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever.
