Beloved Names of God...series "King of Kings"

"King of Kings"

"And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written,

KING of KINGS, and LORD of LORDS."

Revelations 19:16 NASB

 

• Name of God the Son
• Jesus is referred to as King of Kings three times in the NASB.
• In empire times, it was not unusual for one ruler to have dominion over many less powerful rulers, but the terms King of Kings and Lord of Lords are used here to indicate the One whom all rulers should kneel in honor.
• In the book of Revelations, John paints an awesome and terrible vision of Jesus at the Second Coming. His name is The Word of God, but across His blood-soaked robe is the name King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

 

Not a king, but perhaps the most powerful royal ever Queen Victoria ruled the British Empire at its height, encompassing once-quarter of the worlds population. Even so, she knew where true authority lay.

She once wished Jesus would return in her lifetime. When asked why, she replied, "Because I should so love to lay my crown at His blessed feet."

Victoria was wise enough to know who the King of Kings- and queen really was.
