Wednesday's Word: Melekh Ha-Melakhim/Adon Ha-Adonim/King Of Kings, Lord Of Lords

 
 

"In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man
coming with the clouds of heaven.  He approached the Ancient of Days
 and was led into His presence.  
And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation
  and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that 
will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed."
(Daniel 7:13-14 )

"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven 
and on earth has been given to Me."
(Matthew 28:18)
 

"But about the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever,
and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom."
(Hebrews 1:8)

"And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
(Revelation 19:16)

"Christ, the glorious Head of the church, is described on a white horse, the emblem of
 justice and holiness.  He has many crowns, for He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 
He is arrayed in a vesture dipped in His own blood, by which He purchased His power
 as Mediator; and in the blood of His enemies, over whom He always prevails.

 

His name is The Word of God; a name none fully known but Himself; only this we know,
that this Word was God manifest in the flesh; but His perfections cannot be fully understood
by any creature.  Angels and saints follow, and are like Christ in their armour of purity and
righteousness.   The threatenings of the written word He is going to execute on His enemies.

 

The ensigns of His authority are His name; asserting His authority and power, warning the
most powerful princes to submit, or they must fall before Him.  The powers of earth and hell
make their utmost effort.  These verses declare important events, foretold by the prophets. 
These persons were not excused because they did what their leaders bade them. 

 How vain will be the plea of many sinners at the great day!

 

We followed our guides; we did as we saw others do!  God has given a rule to walk by,
in His Word; neither the example of the most, nor of the chief, must influence us contrary
thereto: if we do as the most do, we must go where the most go, even into the burning lake."

-Matthew Henry's Commentary
