"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).
The power of God was upon Elisha. God was at work in mighty power. When we red about Elisha, we say, in our hearts, ‘This is not about Elisha. This is about God - - God working through Elisha.’ We must always remember to give all the glory to the Lord. The praise does not belong to the servant. It belongs to the Lord. He alone is worthy of praise.
