The eternal throne of the Messiah

[Old Testament] Daniel 2:44
2:44 “In the days of those kings, the God of the heavens will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever. 

[Old Testament] Psalm 45:6-7 
6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever;
the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions. 

[New Testament] Luke 1:33 

[The angel Gabriel speaking to Mary concerning baby Jesus:] 1:33 "He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end.”

[New Testament] Hebrews 1:8-12
1:8 but to the Son:

Your throne, God,
is forever and ever,
and the scepter of your kingdom
is a scepter of justice.
9 You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;
this is why God, your God,
has anointed you
with the oil of joy
beyond your companions. [Ps 45:6–7]

10 And:

In the beginning, Lord,
you established the earth,
and the heavens are the works of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain.
They will all wear out like clothing;
12 you will roll them up like a cloak,
and they will be changed like clothing.
But you are the same,
and your years will never end. [Ps 102:25–27]
