In the unfolding history of humankind, where empires have emerged and then vanished, and where ethical principles have often proved unstable, there remains an enduring longing for that which is permanent and eternal. In this profound search for immutable truth, we encounter the divine words of Psalm 45, a hymn to a King whose reign transcends the transient boundaries of earthly dominions.
Yes and Amen! There was a time when American patriots rallied themselves with the cry, "No king but King Jesus!" Divine kingship was recognized as a foundational truth, while at the same time, individual liberty was advanced against earthly tyranny. Today's motto might as well be Huey Long's, "Every man a king," because the atomistic philosophies of Nietzsche, Marx and the rot that goes under the name of "critical theory," all rejected God and replaced Him with man. We saw from the beginning what such a belief did when Adam and Eve broke God's one and only rule in Eden because the lure of becoming "god" was in their heart. That original sin is the stain that has pervaded humanity ever since and brings to ruin everyone who falls under its siren spell. It is well to remember that one day, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess the Kingship of Jesus, although some will do so resentfully while suffering eternal pangs of hell, while others will do so joyfully among the fellowship of like believers under the rule of The Perfect King. The only question is to which group you want to belong. As the ancient knight who guarded the Grail in that famous Spielberg movie said, "Choose wisely."
