I Chronicles 28:2-4

[28:2] Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building: [28:3] But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood. [28:4] Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever : for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel: (David to be king forever)

Jeremiah 30:3, 7-9

[30:3] For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. [30:7] Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. [30:8] For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: [30:9] But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

Ezekiel 40:5-6

[40:5] And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. [40:6] Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.

[43:1] Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: [43:2] And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. [43:3] And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. [43:4] And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. (Description of the future millennial temple)

[44:1] Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. [44:2] Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut , it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. [44:3] It is for the prince ; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same. (Description of the future millennial temple)

[46:16] Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons , the inheritance thereof shall be his sons' ; it shall be their possession by inheritance. [46:17] But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants , then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them. [46:18] Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
