ONE KING, ONE LORD

   "And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there
   be one Lord, and his name one" Zech. 14:9

   Blessed prospect! This is no dream of an enthusiast, but the
   declaration of the infallible Word. Jehovah shall be known among all
   people, and His gracious sway shall be acknowledged by every tribe of
   man. Today, it is far from being so. Where do any bow before the Great
   King? How much there is of rebellion! What lords many, and gods many,
   there are on the earth! Even among professed Christians what
   diversities of ideas there are about Him and His gospel! One day there
   shall be one King, one Jehovah, and one name for the living God. O
   Lord, hasten it! We daily cry, Thy kingdom come.

   We will not discuss the question as to when this shall be, lest we lose
   the comfort of the certainty that it shall be. So surely as the Holy
   Ghost spake by His prophets, so surely shall the whole earth be filled
   with the glory of the Lord. Jesus did not die in vain. The Spirit of
   God worketh not in vain. The Father's eternal purposes shall not be
   frustrated. Here, where Satan triumphed, Jesus shall be crowned, and
   the Lord God Omnipotent shall reign. Let us go our way to our daily
   work and warfare made strong in faith.
