Any Questions?

Zech 14:9 "And the Lord shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be - 'The Lord is one,' and His name is one. "

Any questions? This verse kind of summarizes what is going to happen in the future. Zech 14 lays out how the nations will gather to battle against Jerusalem. Guess what? They will not succeed. In fact, the description of what will happen to those people sounds like it came out of Raiders of the Lost Ark. (Or maybe this where they got the idea.) "Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, and their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths." V12

In the end this is what we will see: "The Lord shall be King over all the earth." There will not be any superpowers in that day. No king, president or emperor will rule anything. There will be only one King. One superpower. One sovereign…the Lord…Jehovah…the eternally existing One. He will be King and everyone will know it.

In that day it shall be: "The Lord is one and His name is one." In other words, God and God alone. Not only will there not be any superpowers, there will not be any other religions. Even though it may sound intolerant, there is only one true religion and it will be revealed in that day. Only one God will rule, only one God will be in charge, only one God will be worshipped. In that day only Jesus will reign. Even though this sounds intolerant one day "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that (only) Jesus is Lord". (Phil. 2) There is no other. Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, Christians…we will all bow to only one King…King Jesus. And again although this sounds intolerant Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6) The Lord is one and His name is one. That is it. That is all. It is best to embrace this now. Bow now. Accept this truth now.

Any questions?
