King Everlasting

Really, now, what lasts forever? Even things deemed permanent aren’t permanent. I remember one of the boys asking me why I had to get a permanent in my hair over and over. No answer to that one!

Scripture gives us perfection of the term lifetime warranty: “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto Me that is to be Ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” (Michael 5:2). Of Israel’s least comes Almighty’s greatest! Though the line of Davidic kings was temporarily past, God promised a Ruler from David’s family; His rule would be eternal, and His Name would be Jesus -- Son of the Living God! “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the Ruler’s Staff from between His feet, until tribute comes to Him; and to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples.” (Genesis 49:10). The promised Messiah King – stands in the Strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the Name of the LORD His God, will be great unto the ends of the earth, shall be The Peace (Micah 5:4-5). Yes, we live in flesh among the temporal but surrendered souls rest in Him, the Ancient of Days, King Everlasting!
