Which ancestor is linked to Christ's future kingship in Acts 2:29-30?

• A. Solomon
• B. David
• C. Jacob
• D. Isaac

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is the promise to the royal line of David and how it points to the Messiah’s future kingship. In Acts 2:29-30, Peter makes reference to David, presenting him as a prophet who spoke of a descendant who would sit on his throne. The key claim is that God swore to David that one of his descendants would establish an eternal throne. David’s tomb is still present, which shows David himself isn’t the one reigning forever, but the promise is about his heir. In the Pentecost scene, Jesus is presented as that descendant, whose resurrection and exaltation confirm him as the king who fulfills the Davidic covenant.

So the ancestor connected to Christ’s future kingship in this passage is David. Solomon, Jacob, and Isaac are not the focus of this particular royal promise in Acts 2:29-30.
