Rightful King

The concept of the 'Rightful King' in the Bible primarily refers to Jesus Christ as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, fulfilling the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament and establishing His eternal kingdom.

The expectation of a Messiah was prevalent among the Jewish people during the time of Jesus, who anticipated a king from the line of David to deliver them from oppression and establish God's kingdom.
