Spurgeon Faith's Checkbook: April 6 - ONE KING, ONE LORD

Imported boundary: April 6, "ONE KING, ONE LORD" from CCEL's all-text Faith's Checkbook cache. Preface, scripture index, CCEL navigation, and page apparatus are not mirrored.

Scripture heading: Zech. 14:9.

> "And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one" Zech. 14:9

Blessed prospect! This is no dream of an enthusiast, but the declaration of the infallible Word. Jehovah shall be known among all people, and His gracious sway shall be acknowledged by every tribe of man. Today, it is far from being so. Where do any bow before the Great King? How much there is of rebellion! What lords many, and gods many, there are on the earth! Even among professed Christians what diversities of ideas there are about Him and His gospel! One day there shall be one King, one Jehovah, and one name for the living God. O Lord, hasten it! We daily cry, Thy kingdom come.

We will not discuss the question as to when this shall be, lest we lose the comfort of the certainty that it shall be. So surely as the Holy Ghost spake by His prophets, so surely shall the whole earth be filled with the glory of the Lord. Jesus did not die in vain. The Spirit of God worketh not in vain. The Father's eternal purposes shall not be frustrated. Here, where Satan triumphed, Jesus shall be crowned, and the Lord God Omnipotent shall reign. Let us go our way to our daily work and warfare made strong in faith.
