“And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
–Luke 1:33
God’s Word informs that when Jesus Christ returns, He will reign over an everlasting, eternal kingdom.
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”
–Daniel 7:13-14
Perhaps that is why the world is so intent on providing the public with its version of “the king.”
Every 20 years or so, the world trots out another man it claims is the “king.”
One of the best-known and most heavily promoted was the singer, Elvis Presley.
Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the “King of Rock and Roll” or simply “The King”.
Then there was the sad king: Michael Jackson.
Dubbed the “King of Pop“, he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest entertainers in the history of music.
The early 20th century saw the promotion of another “king”: Benny Goodman.
Benjamin David Goodman (May 30, 1909 – June 13, 1986) was an American jazz clarinetist and bandleader known as the “King of Swing”.
One of the latest to enjoy the world’s promotion is basketball player, Lebron James.
“King James”, a nickname for basketball player LeBron James.
The world has offered every segment of the general population a chance to enjoy their own king. Proof of that is NASCAR’s Richard Petty.
Richard Lee Petty (born July 2, 1937), nicknamed The King, is an American former NASCAR driver who raced from 1958 to 1992 in the former NASCAR Grand National and Winston Cup Series (now called the NASCAR Cup Series).
In the world of acting, Hollywood claimed it’s own “king.”
William Clark Gable (February 1, 1901 – November 16, 1960) was an American film actor, often referred to as “The King of Hollywood”.
Finally, there is one more from the music scene.
George Harvey Strait Sr. (born May 18, 1952) is an American country music singer, songwriter, actor, and music producer. George Strait is known as the “King of Country“
There are MANY more men which the world claims are “kings.” One only need devote a little time and effort and soon, a page full of the names of such men can be compiled.
For now, the world will honor the men it has raised up to the status of “kings” because the world will NOT acknowledge Jesus Christ.
However, the world WILL one acknowledge the true King.
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
–Philippians 2:10-11
DOES the reader have a favorite “king“?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
