Your
King is Coming to You
The people of Judah were not only
besieged and oppressed by neighboring nations but led astray by those who were
supposed to be their shepherds. The LORD
promised that one day He would be their Shepherd. Zechariah prophesied that
the LORD will save them on that day as the flock of His people; “for they are
like jewels in a crown, sparkling over His land. How lovely and beautiful they
will be!” Zechariah said that they would
be strengthened in the Lord and in His name they will walk. And He told them to
rejoice for their king was coming. “He is just and endowed with salvation,
humble and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey… He will
speak peace to the nations; and His dominion will be from sea to sea…” We read
that Jesus fulfilled the first part of this prophecy in Matthew 21:1-5. The second part of this prophecy will be
fulfilled at the end of the age when the seventh trumpet sounds. “Then the
seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdom
of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will
reign forever and ever’” (Revelation 11:15). Dear Father, How I long for this day! How incredibly awesome it will be when all the world lives in peace and harmony under the reign of our Lord and King, Jesus the Messiah. There will be one Lord, and we will be united by one Spirit and will live as one people under God. Dear Lord Jesus, come!
