Your
kingdom come
Ton règne vienne
David, anointed king
by Samuel the prophet, waits for his promised kingdom as he endures Saul’s
persecution in the desert. He cries, How
long, Yehovah, will you continually forget me? How long will my enemy triumph
over me? Saul, rejected by
God but addicted to power, is doomed to oppose him. But that opposition is
Saul’s destruction. He pursues the one who could save Israel from the
Philistines, and is slain by them. And so, in the fullness of time, the Lord’s
anointed receives his throne.
In the same way, David’s greater son, our
anointed King Jesus, waits until the time of his kingdom. Satan and the rulers
of earth are doomed to oppose him, as Saul opposed David, for his triumph is
their downfall. But we, who long for his appearing, say, How long, Yehovah. Your kingdom
come!
