VERSE 28
OF
THE PRAYER
“The Lord is King
and the Lord rules the nations.”
(The Psalm-22, Verse: 28)
This Verse is reflecting a specific commandment of the Lord__ The commandment that Jesus should announce the sole sovereignty of the Lord__ over all the nations.
First point of Verse is the declaration__ that there is no god beside the Lord__ the One Alone GOD. Who is the All-alone__ Almighty Lord__ of the worlds.
“The Lord is King”
means that the owner of the worlds is one__ the One Alone. Beside Whom there is no partner or co-sharer at all. The Lord is the King__ Who is the Sole Creator of all the creatures__ and each creature is subservient to the Lord.
Whatsoever is there in the heavens__ and on the earth__ and whatsoever is between the both__ and whatsoever is under the earth__ and in the waters__ all and all__ is owned by the Lord. To the Lord alone___ belong the world and the Hereafter___ including the Heaven and Hell___ and the Day of Resurrection. And___ the Lord alone___ is the Savior here & there___ everywhere.
“The Lord is King”
also means that none of the Lord’s words___ is incomplete or imperfect. The Lord is not like the kings of the world. The Lord is not subservient to any person or force. Nor ___ the Lord is in want of the ministers or advisers___ to run the affairs of the Lord’s kingdom. And___ no one is there to render the Lord ineffective or helpless___ at any stage.
Whatsoever the Lord wants to do/execute__ the Lord does/executes that__ without failure. No one can snatch away the Lord’s power & possession. All of the Lord’s creatures are accountable before the Lord___ while the Lord is not accountable before anyone.
GOD is never scared of any person__ place__ or thing__ while every person, place & thing__ do remain scared of the Lord__ as the Lord is the Almighty Lord. The Lord is the Omnipotent__ the All-powerful__ Who punishes the sinners for their sins__ and awards the righteous-ones for their righteousness. And___ no one is anywhere__ to outdo the Lord.
GOD is the King__ the Lord is exclusively at liberty__ to give or to take something__ or everything__ of the Lord’s kingdom. In each condition__ however, it is binding upon us__ to remain grateful to the Lord. Because whatsoever is done by the Lord__ that is always done on account of justice & equity.
None is anywhere__ save the Lord__ to pardon the sins & forgive the mistakes__ as no one is the savior beside the Lord. If the Lord brings someone to the task__ then there is none__ to release such a one__ from the Lord. And ___ if the Lord pardons or forgives someone__ then also there is none__ to bring such a one__ to the task.
If the Lord opens the doors of mercy & blessings for someone then there is no one to close these doors and if the GOD our Lord closes the doors of mercy & blessings for someone then no one is there to open these doors. Only GOD is GOD and there is no god other than GOD and GOD is Ever-living, the Creator of life & death.
Praise be to GOD__ the words & phrases of all the languages__ are totally unable to encompass the Eminence of GOD. If someone can say__ something about the Lord’s Eminence__ then he can not say___ more than that ___ what Jesus has already said__ in the Verse under reference.
“The Lord is King
and the Lord rules the nations.”
Remember please! Nations may be of the mankind__ of the jinn___ of the angels__ or of any other creature___ including the birds & animals__ waters & winds___ trees & stones__ stars & skies__ and so on. And___ the Lord alone___ is the Ruler of the earth & heavens__ and every visible & invisible thing therein.
This particular saying, “Verse-28” of Jesus tells us that Alone GOD is the Lord of Jesus__ King of Jesus__ and the Savior of Jesus. GOD is the Ruler of the whole mankind__ and GOD is not a human being. GOD is the Lord of angels___ and GOD is not an angel. GOD is not__ an embodiment of three at all. And__ GOD alone__ is the Savior of everyone.
This particular saying also tells us that GOD is not the father of creatures and Jesus is not the son of GOD, calling the Lord as King tells us that believing GOD as a father-god and believing Jesus as son of GOD is not according to the preaching of Jesus and the foregoing messengers of GOD.
Mary, the mother of Jesus says:-
“My soul is glad because of GOD my Savior.”
(Luke, Chapter 1, Verse: 47)
Those, who understand the meanings of rule & ruler__ they will positively understand__ that all contents of universe __ including the world__ the Hereafter__ the Day of Resurrection__ the Heaven__ and the Hell__ all are dominions of the Lord__ Who is the Absolute Ruler of everything.
The universe __ the unending & immeasurable universe __ is created by the Lord. The Lord has not snatched the universe __ from someone else. Nor__ the Lord has acquired it__ through some heritage or inheritance__ as the Lord is not a son of anyone. Nor__ the Lord is in need of any son or successor and everyone other than the Lord is mortal & perishable __ as the Lord is the Creator of life & death__ the Eternal__ and the Almighty Lord.
The process of birth and the process of death both are the creations of GOD. GOD is not a father__ nor a son__ as GOD has no wife. Nor__ GOD possesses a wife__ as GOD is totally free__ from the creaturely handicaps & traits. GOD is the Holy One, Creator of sexes (males & females) and GOD is gender free.
The world and the Hereafter__ and the Day of Resurrection__ and all the physical and metaphysical worlds__ are not so much important things__ that the Lord may not do without their existence. Their existence or non-existence does not make any difference to the Lord. Nor these things__ can increase or decrease__ the Lord’s Honour & Eminence. The Lord has no need at all__ as the Lord is the Creator of every need. The Lord is, of course, Matchless__ and Incomparable in all respects. Nothing compares to GOD.
Bible tells that Moses praised the Lord in the following terms:-
“Lord! Who among the (people-made)
gods is like You?
Who is like You? Wonderful in Holiness!
Who can work miracles and mighty
Acts like You?
You Lord, will be King forever and ever.”
(Exodus, Chapter 15, Verses: 11 to 18)
And__ Moses praised the Lord as a Savior in these terms as well.
“The Lord is my Strong Defender!
The Lord is the One Who has saved me,
The Lord is my GOD
And I will praise the Lord!
The Lord is my father’s GOD,
I will praise the Lord.
I will sing about the Lord’s Greatness,
The Lord is the Warrior
The Lord__ is GOD’s name.”
(Exodus, Chapter 15, Verses: 2 & 3)
And__ Jesus is saying in his prayer:-
“The Lord is King
and the Lord rules the nations
Praise the Lord, you servants of the Lord
Honour the Lord,
You descendents of Jacob
Worship the Lord, you people of Israel.”
(The Psalm-22, Verse: 28 & 23)
And__ Mary, the mother of Jesus, is saying:-
“The Lord’s name is Holy”
(Luke, Chapter 1, Verse: 49)
And__ David is saying:-
“I depend on GOD alone.
GOD alone protects and saves me;
GOD is my defender and I shall
Never be defeated.”
(Psalms, Chapter 62, Verses: 1 & 2)
And GOD says:-
“Call to Me when trouble comes;
I will save you,
And you will praise Me.”
(Psalms, Chapter 50, Verse: 15)
The Lord is Ever-Alive, the Lord is the sole Creator of everything & the Watcher thereat. The Lord is never unaware of anything of the universe. To safeguard the whole universe __ is not difficult for the Lord at all__ as the Lord is the Omnipotent__ the Wise__ and the Almighty Lord.
If the Lord were in need of rest or sleep then, the moon__ the sun__ the stars__ and the skies__ must have been collapsed__ years and years ago, definitely. Their roots & orbits are so complexed & delicate__ that ignorance of even 1/1000 portion of a moment__ may culminate in a devastating accident. So, the Lord is the Ever-awaking Watcher__ over the whole universe __ since inception to date. The Lord is strongly holding the whole universe __ in mighteous-hold__ and everything is restrained & controlled__ in the Lord’s vigorous-grip. Nothing can go out of the Lord’s grip__ save by the Lord’s own leave. And__ if the Lord allows anything to go free in the space__ then who is there__ to restrain & control it___ save the Lord.
GOD is the King in real sense__ rather in ideal sense__ rather in unimaginable sense of the kingship. GOD is the Absolute Ruler__ Who rules over all the nations__and all the creatures. PRAISE BE TO GOD__ Who is available to every creature. GOD is Matchless__ in all the attributes of GOD. None of the creatures of GOD__ can encompass the knowledge & wisdom of GOD__ as the creatures can never outdo the Creator.
