The Lord is our King; he will save us. Isaiah 33:22
SA 33:22{The thought of salvation is constantly connected with that of kingship. Type, illustration, and prophecy combine them. "Thou shalt anoint him... that he may save my people." "By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people." "The king saved us." "A King shall reign; in His days, Judah shall be saved." "Thy King cometh... having salvation.”
Because Jesus is our Savior, He has the right to be our King; but again, because He is King, He is qualified to be our Savior; and we never know Him fully as Savior till we have fully received Him as King. His Kingship gives the strength to His priesthood. It is as the Royal Priest of the order of Melchizedek that He is able to save. Thus He is a Savior, a great One, mighty to save. Our King has not only wrought and brought, and made known His salvation, but He Himself is our salvation. The very names seem used interchangeably. Isaiah says, "Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy Salvation cometh"; Zechariah bids her rejoice, for "Behold thy King cometh." Again Isaiah says, "Mine eyes have seen the King"; and Simeon echoes, "Mine eyes have seen Thy Salvation," as he looks upon the infant Jesus, the Light to lighten the Gentiles; reminding us again of David's words, "The Lord is my Light and my Salvation.”
Worthy of adoration,
Is the Lamb that once was slain,
Cry, in raptured exultation,
His redeemed from every nation;
Angel myriads join the strain,
Sounding from their sinless strings
Glory to the King of kings;
Harping, with their harps of gold,
Praise which never can be told.
