we are informed that He made His last and triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, sitting upon an ass, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, even a colt, the foal of an ass.” Matt. 21: 5. And in John, it is said, that, when the people heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, “They took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna ! Blessed is the King of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.” 12 : 13. And when “Nathanael answered and said unto Him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God ; thou art the King of Israel,” Jesus commended his faith, and assured him that, on account of it, he should see still greater things. We read also in the Rev. 17: 14, “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords and King of kings.”
Thus we find that Jesus Christ is called King, Zion’s King, the King of Israel, and also King of kings and Lord of lords. And inasmuch as the same title is applied to the infinite Jehovah, therefore Jesus is Jehovah, the God and King of all the earth, the King of Zion. Otherwise Zion would have two Kings.
Again: God is called a rock, the rock of Israel &c.; and Jesus Christ is also called the same.
