King of Kings.
`Out of the `ivory palaces` into a world of woe, Only His great eternal love, made my Saviour go.`
(chorus of Hymn by H. Barraclough 1915)
`Out of the ivory palaces` where myriads of angelic beings worshipped and adored Him, where celestial music played enchanting symphonies, and the Father anointed Him with the oil of gladness, the Saviour came to this dark, sinful world to be born in a stable. (Ps. 45: 6 - 8)
The contrast is too great for us to really appreciate or even understand, but we know in part that our Saviour and Lord has such a great love that enabled Him to overcome in the greatest battle there ever was, against the most demonic being who cruelly subjected Christ to the most humiliating and excruciatingly, painful death imaginable.
Thus this conqueror of sin, death and hell is crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
`Then I saw heaven opened and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on Him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,....and on His robe and on His thigh a name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords.` (Rev. 19: 11 - 13, & 16)
This King of Kings will come again to this earth in great power and glory to deliver Israel and bring vengeance upon the rebellious.
`Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people, for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance to His adversaries; he will provide atonement for His land and His people.` (Deut. 32: 43)
The Lord Jesus Christ, will yet be King over all the earth. (Ps. 47: 2) He will establish His rule over Israel and over the nations. (Zech. 14: 16)
Then on into the New Heaven and New Earth all realms and rulership will come under His jurisdiction. From the highest heaven to the lowest position, all will be ruled in righteousness and peace by this great King of Kings.
In the third heaven, the highest, this King and High Priest will rule with His order of Kingpriests, and in the lower heavens, the Universe, there will be kings and priests who rule, and on the earth kings and priest who also rule.
Of His great Kingdom and government of peace there will be no end but ever increasing.
`Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.` (Isa. 9: 7)
