The King Who Reigns Forever

Elizabeth II of Great Britain, who died on September 8, 2022, reigned 70 years. The length of her reign is second only to Louis XIV of France who reigned 72 years. Their reigns can be counted to the day. 

There is One, however, Jesus, Zion’s King, whose reign cannot be counted by days, months, or years. He is an eternal king.

John 12:15 describes Jesus, Zion’s King’s first coming to earth as being lowly. “FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY’S COLT.” However, when Jesus, Zion’s King, returns to earth, He will come in power. 

Revelation 19:11-16 describes His second coming. 

“I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

ZION’S KING, You and Your reign are eternal and glorious. Praise, honor, and glory to You now and forever, amen.
