1st of 4 parts on the
prophesies of Jesus:
Isaiah 32:1 ¶ Behold, a king shall
reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in
justice.
Isaiah 32:2 And a man
shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, as
streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a weary
land. Zechariah 14:9
And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one,
and his name one. Isaiah, Jeremiah and
Zechariah saw the incarnation of the mighty Jehovah as a human king, who would
establish the kingdom of God on earth. This king would be the root or ancestor
of David (Isaiah 11:10; Zechariah
6:12, Jeremiah 33:15) and also his offspring
(Revelation 22:16).
The Magi certainly
understood the prophesies. They came to Jerusalem
seeking Him who was to be born King of the Jews (Matthew 2:2).
On His triumphal entry into Jerusalem the multitude hailed Him as the
King of Israel who had come in the name of the Lord (John 12:13). Since
the time that Herod feigned a desire to worship Him (Matthew 2:8), the kings and
rulers of the earth have been against Him and have sought to stamp out the
mention of His name (Psalms 2:1-6; Acts 4:17,5:28). The characters have changed,
but their opposition to God's kingdom has not. His name can't be mentioned in
the schoolroom or in many of the halls of government. Currently a battle is
raging in Alabama over the display of His commandments in a courtroom.
They have not and will not
succeed. The day is at hand that He will reveal Himself as King of
Kings and Lord of Lords (I Timothy 6:15; Revelation 19:16). All who are
opposed to His rule will cry for the rocks and mountains to fall and hide them
from His face (Revelation 6:15-17). However for the believer it is a different
matter:
Matthew 25:34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right
hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world:

The
airline ticket agent picked up the phone. A caller asked, "Can you tell me how
long it'll take to fly from San Francisco to New York City?
"Just a minute," the agent said. "Thank you," said the caller as she hung up. Quote

because it had a Senate; now what's going to happen to us with both a Senate and
a House?" -- Will Rogers<
