Christ the Architect.

This is the Lord`s last reference to His own majestic personality. He uses three figures of speech which signify His authorship, leadership and governorship in relation to the New Jerusalem.

“I am the Root and the offspring of David,
the bright and Morning Star.”
(Rev. 22: 16)



I am the Root of David: Deity.

This title depicts Christ as being the originator of David`s life for behind David`s ancestry, authority and ability stands the Almighty One, Jesus Christ the Lord. Moreover Christ the Shepherd-Saviour is the supreme Sovereign, the very King of kings and Lord of lords who planned and directed David`s royal line.



I am the Offspring of David: Royal.

Christ came in His humanity as the Son of David, from the tribe of Judah. He was from the seed and house of David, the city and tabernacle of David, the throne and kingdom of David. These all show the vital link in David`s lineage for Christ to be the rightful king, as David`s offspring.



I am the Bright and Morning Star: Prince.

Christ is referred to as the Star that shall come out of Jacob. (Num. 24: 17)

Star – Heb. `kowkab,` meaning a star, shining, and fig. a prince.

Thus Christ in His celestial supremacy as Star of the morning is the supreme Prince and Ruler. He soars above the bravest of Israel`s kings and towers in dignity and dominion far beyond the renown of David`s royalty.

`Messiah the Prince...` (Dan. 9: 25)

Prince – Heb. `nagid,` a commander, leader, governor,

These titles show clearly that it is the Lord Jesus Christ who planned this city of David, the New Jerusalem. He is the architect and builder. He is the One who has the right to rule there as its Prince – the supreme ruler and governor.


` the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.`
(Heb. 11: 10 Rhm - Rotherh)
