ONE
KING, ONE LORD
On that day the
LORD will become King over all the earth—the LORD alone, and His name alone. Zechariah 14:9
What a blessed prospect! This is not the dream of an idealist but the declaration of the infallible Word. Jehovah shall be known among all people, and His
gracious reign shall be acknowledged by every tribe of humanity.
Today, this reality seems distant. How many people do you know who are eagerly
willing to bow before the LORD Jesus?
How much rebellion is present in this world! There are so many little lords
and little gods who desire to have control of their little realms!
Because they
refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore, God sends them a strong
delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be
condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
But one day, there will be one King, one Jehovah, and one Name that is above
all names! O Lord, hasten that day! We daily cry, "Your kingdom
come."
We will not get bogged down in discussing when this will happen, but we can
certainly have the comfort of knowing that it will happen. As surely as the Holy Spirit spoke
through His prophets, so surely will the whole earth be filled with the glory
of the Lord.
Jesus did not die in vain. The Spirit of God is not working in vain. The
Father’s eternal purposes will not be frustrated. Let us go about our daily
work and battles, strengthened by this faith.
