ONE KING, ONE LORD
"And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall
there be one Lord, and his name one" Zech. 14:9
Blessed prospect! This is no dream of an enthusiast, but the
declaration of the infallible Word. Jehovah shall be known among all
people, and His gracious sway shall be acknowledged by every tribe of
man. Today, it is far from being so. Where do any bow before the Great
King? How much there is of rebellion! What lords many, and gods many,
there are on the earth! Even among professed Christians what
diversities of ideas there are about Him and His gospel! One day there
shall be one King, one Jehovah, and one name for the living God. O
Lord, hasten it! We daily cry, Thy kingdom come.
We will not discuss the question as to when this shall be, lest we
lose the comfort of the certainty that it shall be. So surely as the
Holy Ghost spake by His prophets, so surely shall the whole earth be
filled with the glory of the Lord. Jesus did not die in vain. The
Spirit of God worketh not in vain. The Father's eternal purposes shall
not be frustrated. Here, where Satan triumphed, Jesus shall be
crowned, and the Lord God Omnipotent shall reign. Let us go our way to
our daily work and warfare made strong in faith.
