The Psalmist declared the coming
of the King of Glory to Jerusalem, and He came:
Psalm 24:7-8 -- “Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted
up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of
glory? The LORD strong and might, the LORD mighty in battle.”
This whole Psalm was likely penned
during the time of the bringing of the Ark of the Covenant into the city of
Jerusalem (Zion). Yet, it speaks forth a great prophecy that was true in the
day of the Ark of the Covenant’s journey into Jerusalem and the presence of
Yahweh (God), was true when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey 2,000 years
ago, and will soon be true again at the 2nd Coming of Christ.
“The LORD mighty in battle,” speaks unashamedly of a warrior-God,
who went out and fought for His people, who subdued the nations, and spread His
name that His glory might be known all across the earth. Christ is “the LORD mighty in battle.” It is also
true that He is the Prince of Peace, but He is also the better Joshua, the
victorious warrior, in whom dwells the powerful and conquering might of the
living God. Christ is the Commander of all the forces of the universe.
Revelation 1:7 – “Look, He is coming with the clouds, and
every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the peoples of the
earth will mourn because of Him.”
Christ is coming! Our King draws
near!
