That son was Jesus Christ.
We often forget that Jesus can claim the title “King of the Jews”. When Jesus was born, the wise men asked Herod “Where is he that is born King of the Jews?” Nobody laughed, for the Jewish priests knew from scriptures that one day a special king would be born in Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2,4)
We know in hindsight that the last time Jesus was on earth it was not God’s will for Jesus to become King of Israel at that time. The gospel had to be preached to the whole earth first, as it now has been. That does not mean Jesus will not be king over Israel though.
The Bible tells us that when Jesus returns, his claim to the throne of David will not be like the kings we see in our world today – Jesus will have the authority and power to lay claim to the throne.
The Bible gives us a wonderful hope for our world.
