Verse 29 speaks of King David.
Act 2:29* Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.*
Verse 30 says that King David's descendant, Messiah, would be raised up by GOD to sit on his(King David's) throne.
Act 2:30* Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;*
Verse 31 says that King David, as a prophet, spoke of the resurrection of Messiah, when David said(verse 30) that his descendant would be raised up to sit on David's throne.
Act 2:31* He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Verse 32 says that GOD has raised up this Jesus of Nazareth and that Peter and the rest are all witnesses of the fact.
*
Act 2:32* This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.*
Verse 33 says that Messiah has been exalted to the right hand of GOD.
Act 2:33* Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.*
Verse 34 refers back to verses 29 and 31 that King David was not referring to himself but to his future descendant.
Peter then quotes Ps 110 concerning Messiah prophesied to be seated at the right hand of GOD.
And verse 35.
Act 2:34* For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,*
Act 2:35* Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Verse 36 Peter says to the historically represented house of Israel, that GOD has made Jesus of Nazareth, whom they had crucified, both Lord and Messiah.
*
Act 2:36* Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.*
Peter says nothing about Jesus Messiah being presently seated on David's throne.
One would have to forcibly glom that on from one's own imagination thru dialectical synthesis.
Yeah, that's right, it's you and Northwye who are guilty of dialectic thought.
Those who read the Scriptures for what they literally say in context are not involved in the triadic thought process.
Again, Peter says nothing about Messiah being presently seated on David's throne.
What he says is that Messiah was raised up 'to sit' on David's throne.
He doesn't say that Messiah is now sitting there.
In Biblical context, David's throne is a reign from Jerusalem over the twelve tribes of Israel in the land called Israel.
Messiah can't reign from David's throne until there is a sufficient believing remnant to constitute the twelve tribes in the land promised.
Messiah is now seated in the Father's throne, at the right hand of GOD, expecting until His enemies become subservient. As Psalm 110 says, "My people(Israel) will be willing in the day of His power".
Jesus Messiah said in Mt 25:31 that He will sit on that throne at His second coming.
Jesus Messiah says in Mt 23:39 that He will not be recognizably seen by Israel until they say unto Him, "Baruch haba b'shem Adonai".
Peter says in Acts 3:19-20 that GOD will not send Jesus Messiah back until Israel(a sufficient remnant) repents.
Gabriel said, to Mary:
Luk 1:31* And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.*
Luk 1:32* He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:*
Luk 1:33* And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.*
I believe all of these Scriptures. You don't.
You're caught in the dialectical tangled up barbed-wire and you make no sense to simple ordinary people who take GOD at His Word.
You just changed what v31's "what was ahead" means. You changed it, not me. v33 doubles up: exalted to that right hand he was just talking about.
Why would he even say v34 if anything you said was true?
Peter realized the power of 1:8 (the admin term of royal decrees and actions) had just taken place through him, who totally did not deserve. To evangelize Israel and kick-start it into the mission (you may have noticed that is what Acts turns into).
A Davidic theocracy is nowhere, and futurism is nowhere. It is entirely about what happened right there.
This persistent departure from the reality at hand is total madness. It is Chafer's madness. He is the one who does not make sense; stop 'pleasing' his 'need' to have the Bible make sense.
The Bible makes sense when we agree that 'in your Seed, all nations will be blessed' is Christ and his gospel, as seen by Abraham originally, Jn 7 and Gal 3.
Chafer could not grasp that, being a bit dull and everything is a trainwreck since.
