Our One True King!
"Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass
away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed."
Daniel 7: 14
There has never been an earthly king deemed worthy to be
worshiped by mankind. Some kings have thought themselves
worthy and tried to enforce their sovereignty. The Bible says a
King will appear one day who will gain the loyalty of all
except
those who faithfully belong to God.
Daniel the prophet saw that king in a vision, pictured as a little
horn (Daniel 7:8). But his rule was cut short by “One like the Son
of Man” (Daniel 7:13) who was given authority over all the earth
by the Father (the “Ancient of Days” in Daniel 7:9).
This “Son of Man” is the same Christ of whom Paul
prophesied that every knee will bow and every tongue
will confess Him as Lord (Philippians 2: 10-11).
In a day of pseudo potentates, we can rest assured
that even the knees of earthly kings will one day
bow to the true King of kings (Revelation 19:16).
"The dearest idol I have known, whate’er
that idol be, help me to tear it from Thy
throne and worship only Thee."
William Cowper, “Walking With God”
