the King

Throughout the scriptures, the mention of a great King keeps emerging from the text. “Who is this King of Glory?” the Psalmist asked (Psalm 24:6). Psalm 2 mentions an “Anointed” One Who would one day “sit upon my holy hill of Zion” (verse 6), and many others places in Psalms acknowledge One Who is the “Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.” (Psalm 84:3). Isaiah writes in chapter 6 about seeing a sight in the heavens so awe inspiring that it literally scared him almost to death. “Woe is me!” He cries out, “for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts! (Isaiah 6:5)
The prophet Zechariah also wrote about a great King Who will day “be king over all the earth.” (Zechariah 14:9), and Ezekiel wrote about a future Ruler, saying “ one king shall be king to them all.” (Ezekiel 37:22).
Many years later in his letter to young Timothy, the apostle Paul wrote of “the King, eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God” (1 Timothy 1:17), and in Revelation chapter 19 John mentions a mighty warrior mounted on a splendid white war horse (verse 11) and leading a great host in history’s last and greatest cavalry charge (verse 14). He calls Him the “King of Kings and the Lord of Lords” (19:16)
This great King spoken of through the ages by the mouths and the pens of the prophets is none other than the Eternal God, the Creator, the Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts, and our Savior Jesus the Christ.

“Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of Glory.” (Psalm 24:10)
