KINGS OF KING

Revelation 1(KJV)

verse 4 "John torepparttar seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and fromrepparttar 148209 seven Spirits which are before his throne;" verse 5 "And from Jesus Christ, who isrepparttar 148210 faithful witness, andrepparttar 148211 first begotten ofrepparttar 148212 dead, andrepparttar 148213 prince ofrepparttar 148214 kings ofrepparttar 148215 earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"

verse 6 "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."

The title of this article might have been more attractive if it had read 'KING OF KINGS’. But before making a rash judgement that it is just another piece of heresy, let us proceed from a central point of common agreement. To every real Christian, Jesus Christ who is our personal Lord and Saviour deservesrepparttar 148216 royal title of 'KING OF KINGS' and 'LORD OF LORDS'(1 Tim 6:15, Rev.19:16).

When we examinerepparttar 148217 title 'KING OF KINGS' we easily deduce that Jesus Christ possesses a kingship and kingdom that surpasses that of any king that lived, that lives, and that will live throughout human history.

Daniel 2(KJV) verse 44 "And inrepparttar 148218 days of these kings shallrepparttar 148219 God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: andrepparttar 148220 kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever."

Isaiah 99KJV)

verse 6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: andrepparttar 148221 government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." verse 7 "Ofrepparttar 148222 increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, uponrepparttar 148223 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 ofrepparttar 148224 LORD of hosts will perform this."

Yet we can go further to identify another class of 'kings'-those who reign in life by Jesus Christ:

Romans 5(KJV) verse 17 "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and ofrepparttar 148225 gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ."

These persons begin to reign by being born into God's kingdom:

John 3(KJV)

verse 3 "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot seerepparttar 148226 kingdom of God." verse 4 "Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enterrepparttar 148227 second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

verse 5 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and ofrepparttar 148228 Spirit, he cannot enter intorepparttar 148229 kingdom of God."

THE BAT,THE CAT,AND THE RAT Genesis 1:25 (King James Version) verse 25 "And God maderepparttar beast ofrepparttar 148208 earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth uponrepparttar 148209 earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good."

There were three friends living on a lovely estate,onrepparttar 148210 fruit tree livedrepparttar 148211 bat;inrepparttar 148212 villa livedrepparttar 148213 cat;and in a hole underrepparttar 148214 villa livedrepparttar 148215 rat. One day they decided to trade places since they were bored with their individual daily routines. The rat tookrepparttar 148216 place ofrepparttar 148217 bat and had a hard time getting torepparttar 148218 top ofrepparttar 148219 tree. Once atrepparttar 148220 top,the rat felt on top ofrepparttar 148221 world,then suddenlyrepparttar 148222 hawk on its daily patrol sightedrepparttar 148223 rat and swooped down to make a kill. The rat barely escaped by dashing frightfully into a hole inrepparttar 148224 old tree branch. The cat managed to get intorepparttar 148225 hole leading torepparttar 148226 rat's home,and it initially felt likerepparttar 148227 safest place inrepparttar 148228 world. Thereafter it realised that it was too dark,cold,and stinking. To make matters worse,it was nearly caught for lunch byrepparttar 148229 ferret. The bat seemed to inheritrepparttar 148230 best lot of them all-there was enough to eat butrepparttar 148231 home ofrepparttar 148232 cat seemed too bright and warm. It managed to escape being shot dead byrepparttar 148233 angry master ofrepparttar 148234 villa. Within only an hour,the friends realisedrepparttar 148235 folly of their decisions,and resorted to their respective callings in life.

Genesis 1:26-27 (King James Version) verse 26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion overrepparttar 148236 fish ofrepparttar 148237 sea, and overrepparttar 148238 fowl ofrepparttar 148239 air, and overrepparttar 148240 cattle, and over allrepparttar 148241 earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth uponrepparttar 148242 earth."

verse 27 "So God created man in his own image, inrepparttar 148243 image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Jeremiah 1:5 (Amplified Bible) verse 5 "Before I formed you inrepparttar 148244 womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet torepparttar 148245 nations."

1 Corinthians 7:17 (King James Version) verse 17 "But as God hath distributed to every man, asrepparttar 148246 Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches."

1 Corinthians 7:20 (King James Version) verse 20 "Let every man abide inrepparttar 148247 same calling wherein he was called."
