"Rejoice
greatly ... your King comes to you ... having salvation ... because of
the blood of My covenant with you" (Zechariah 9:9,11). "The Ruler of the
kings of the earth ... who loves us and has freed us from our sins by
His blood" (Revelation 1:5). The King of love is revealed in both
Zechariah and Revelation. We see, however, different aspects of His
Kingship. We see His two comings. There is His first coming - "Your King
comes to you ... gentle and riding on a donkey" (Zechariah 9:9) - and
His second coming - "He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will
see Him" (Revelation 1:7). The Lord's way - "gentle" is to be our way.
We trust in Him when we are confronted by "men of violence" (Psalm
140:1). We know that, when the King comes again, the men of violence
will be exposed - "every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him;
and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him" (Revelation
1:7).
