29. That He
will reign as a King for ever.
In Zechariah: “Tell ye the daughter of
Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee: just, and having
salvation; meek, sitting upon an ass that hath not been
tamed.”4120
Also in
Isaiah: “Who will declare to you that eternal place?
He that walketh in righteousness, and holdeth back his hands from
gifts; stopping his ears that he may not hear the judgment of blood;
and closing his eyes, that he may not see unrighteousness: this
man shall dwell in the lofty cavern of the strong rock; bread shall be
given him, and his water shall be sure. Ye shall see the King
with glory.”4121
Likewise in Malachi: “I
am a great King, saith the Lord, and my name is illustrious among the
nations.”4122
Also
in the second Psalm: “But I am established as a King by Him
upon His holy hill of Zion, announcing His empire.”4123
Also in
the twenty-first Psalm: “All the ends of the world shall be
reminded, and shall turn to the Lord: and all the countries of
the nations shall worship in Thy sight. For the kingdom is the
Lord’s: and He shall rule over all nations.”4124
Also in
the twenty-third Psalm: “Lift up your gates, ye princes;
and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall
come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and
mighty, the Lord strong in battle. Lift up your gates, O ye
princes; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of
glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of
hosts, He is the King of glory.”4125
Also in the forty-fourth
Psalm: “My heart hath breathed forth a good
discourse:4126
| 4126
[i.e., rather “a good Word.” See p. 516,
supra.] | I tell my
works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a writer intelligently
writing. Thou art lovely in beauty above the children of
men: grace is shed forth on Thy lips, because God hath blessed
Thee for ever. Be girt with Thy sword on Thy thigh, O most
mighty. To Thy honour and to Thy beauty both attend, and direct
Thyself, and reign, because of truth, and meekness, and
righteousness.”4127
Also in the fifth Psalm:
“My King, and my God, because unto Thee will I pray. O
Lord, in the morning Thou shalt hear my voice; in the morning I will
stand before Thee, and will contemplate Thee.”4128
Also in the ninety-sixth
Psalm: “The Lord hath reigned; let the earth rejoice; let
the many isles be glad.”4129
Moreover, in the forty-fourth
Psalm: “The queen stood at thy right hand in a golden
garment; she is clothed in many colours. Hear, O daughter, and
see, and incline thine ear, and forget thy people and thy
father’s house; for the King hath desired thy beauty, for He is
thy Lord God.”4130
Also in the seventy-third
Psalm: “But God is our King before the world; He hath
wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.”4131
Also in the Gospel according to
Matthew: “And when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judah in
the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east came to
Jerusalem, saying, Where is He who is born King of the Jews? for we
have seen His star in the east, and have come to worship
Him.”4132
Also,
according to John, Jesus said: “My kingdom is not of this
world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would be in
trouble, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now is my
kingdom not from hence. Pilate said, Art thou a king, then?
Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this cause I
was born, and for this cause I am come into the world, that I might
bear testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth
heareth my voice.”4133
