"King Jesus"

"For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and He is the Governor among nations." (Psalms 22:28) If you had any doubt that this verse was about Jesus, then you will be surprised to know that there is no other person or entity that this can apply to. There are many references in the Bible to the fact that Jesus will establish His kingdom here upon this earth, and in Revelation it is referred to "The Thousand Year Reign", or "The Millennium", and it takes place just after He returns with all of His church on white horses. However, to truly see the power that is established by His rule, I prefer to quote Isaiah 9:6 & 7 as a reference to His authority and power, for it says, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." There are many very strong points within these two verses as to the absolute magnitude of His kingdom reign, some of which have no greater authority that can be placed upon Him then that which He shall govern with. If you do not know what that means, it means that there is no greater One that will be answered to then Jesus! When looking at the meaning of just a few of these points given, a couple of my favorite are found in verse six; the main one that I love to show those that doubt His being God, is the term "The Mighty God"; for it speaks of 'The One True God', that being 'Jehovah' and the 'One God'. Some people really cannot understand the concept of there being One God, yet within that One God there are Three: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. As some would have you believe, they are all three there, they just do not have the same level of authority; however, as we look a little further into verse seven, it says that He not only "orders it", but that He also will "establish it". The reason that this is important to consider when it comes to understanding who Jesus is and whether or not He is God, is that of His authority. The term "The Everlasting Father" is one that throws a lot of people, because it makes Jesus and the Father out to be one of the same; however, in the grand picture of what Jesus has done, this is also a reference to His authority over creation, and Him being the Producer or Generator of everything that is in existence. It is also His having founded or established a new household that should also be considered; because without what Jesus had done, there would have been no one that could be saved and justified before the Father. It is the 'zeal of God' which has brought all of this about, because of His love and passion for us, He is jealous for us as His precious children and His tender creation...
