King of Kings

"And with reference to the angels He is saying, 'Who is making His angels winds, and His servants a flame of fire.'"

Hebrews 1:7

"But with reference to the Son He is saying, 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His Kingdom."

Hebrews 1:8

The function of the angels is to be like the winds that blow and like the "flame of fire" that burns.

How interesting it is to see that with the coming of the Spirit of God in Acts 2 at Pentecost, we have these 2 manifestation: (1) "a mighty wind" and (2) "flaming tongues of fire."

Matthew 4:11: "Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him" (NASB).

The Bible Knowledge Commentary says: "The writer contrasts the servanthood of angels and the eternal dominion of the son."

He quotes Psalm 104:4 here.

2 Kings 6:16-17: '"Don't be afraid' the prophet answered. 'Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.' And Elisha prayed, 'O Lord, open his eyes so he may see.' Then the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha" (NIV).

Matthew 26:53: "Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels" (NASB).That's 72,000 angels that are on alert status.

Verse 8: "But with reference to the Son He is saying, 'Your throne O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His Kingdom."

This Son is a King of righteousness.

As we conclude our meditation today, just stop and think of how Jesus Christ has been presented in these first 8 verses: (1) He is a Prophet, the One who brings the last message; (2) He is a Priest who makes an offering of Himself as a purification offering; and (3) He is a King of righteousness. Prophet, Priest, and King. Jesus Christ, God's own Son.

Meditating on His eternal Kingdom has found me singing "Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned":

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Savior's brow;

His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'er-flow,

His lips with grace o'er-flow.

No mortal can with Him compare Among the sons of men;

Fairer is He than all the fair Who fill the heav'nly train,

Who fill the heav'nly train

He saw me plunged in deep distress And flew to my relief;

For me He bore the shameful cross And carried all my grief,

And carried all my grief.

To Him I owe my life and breath And all the joys I have;
