The Coming King

The Ultimate Monarchy
The Coming King Is.....
King of the Jews  
          King of Israel   
                      King of Ages
                                 King of Heaven
                                            King of Glory
                                                       King of Kings
                                                                  And Lord of Lords

A Prophet before Moses
A Priest before Melchizedek
A Champion like Joshua
An Offering in place of Isaac
A King from the line of David
A Wise Counselor above Solomon
A Beloved, Rejected, Exalted son like Joseph

 And yet Far More…..

The Heavens declare His Glory & the firmament shows His handiwork

He who Is, and Was, and Always Will Be
                                                                                                  The First and The Last
                                                                                        The Alpha and The Omega
                                                                             The Aleph and the Tau
                                                                   The A and the Z

He is the First Fruits of them that slept
He is the ἐγώ εἰμί, the אָנֹכִי הָיָה, the I Am That I Am
                                  
                                   He’s the Voice of the burning bush
                        He is the Captain of the Lord’s hosts
            He is the Conqueror of Jericho 

 He is Enduringly strong                               Entirely sincere                                          Eternally steadfast

He is Immortally graceful
          Imperially powerful
          Impartially merciful
In Him dwells the fullness of the God Head bodily…..
The very God of God…..
He Is our Kinsman Redeemer
AND
Our Avenger of Blood
He is our City of Refuge
Our performing High Priest
Our personal Prophet
Our Reigning King

He’s the Loftiest Idea in Literature
He’s the Highest Personality in Philosophy
He’s the Fundamental Doctrine of Theology
He’s the Supreme Problem in “Higher Criticism”
He’s the Miracle of the ages…
The Superlative of everything good.
 
You and I are the beneficiaries of a Love Letter
That was…..
                                                                 Written In Blood
                                                                             On a Wooden Cross
                                                                                  Erected in Judea
                                                                                       2,000 Years Ago

He was crucified on a cross of wood,
Yet He made the hill on which it stood. 

By Him were all things made that were made.
Without Him was not anything made that was made,
and by Him are all things held together. 

What held Him to that tree?
It wasn’t the nails…. 

At ANY time He could have put an end to His suffering.
It was His Love for you and me. 

He was born of a woman…….…so that we could be born of God
He humbled Himself…………..so that we could be lifted up
He became a servant……...so that we could become joint heirs with Him
He suffered rejection…..so that we could be called His friends
He denied Himself…..so that we could freely receive all things
He gave Himself….so that we could be blessed in every way
He’s Available to the tempted and tried
He Blesses the young
   He Cleanses the leper
     He Defends the feeble
        He Delivers the captives
             He Discharges the debtors
         He Forgives the sinners
           He Franchises the meek
            He Guards the besieged
            He Heals the sick
                   He Provides Strength to the week
             He Regards the Aged
                                                            He Rewards the diligent
                                                  He Serves the unfortunate
                                            He Sympathizes
                         AND……
                                He Saves
                         His Offices are Manifold
                  His Reign is Righteous
           His Promises are Secure
    His Goodness is Limitless
His Light is Matchless
      His Grace is Sufficient
             His Love never Changes
                    His Mercy is Everlasting
                           His Word is Enough
                                  His Yoke is Easy…..and His Burden is Light
             
I wish I could describe Him to you….. 
HE IS
Indescribable
Irresistible
Invincible

The Heaven of Heavens can’t Contain Him
Man can’t Explain Him
The Pharisees couldn’t stand Him, but soon learned they couldn’t Stop Him
Pilot couldn’t find Fault with Him
The witnesses couldn’t agree against Him
Herod couldn’t Kill Him
Death couldn’t Handle Him
The grave couldn’t Hold Him
He has Always been…..and Always will be

He had no Predecessor…..and will have no Successor
You can’t Impeach Him….and He isn’t going to Resign
His NAME is above every name…
That at the name of YESHUA
Every Knee shall bow
and Every tongue shall confess
that…
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD
His is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory
Forever and Ever….
Amen
