Payne #97 — Zechariah 9:10
Payne #97 identifies Zechariah 9:10 as messianic, describing the universal peace and dominion of the coming King
The King Comes Bringing Peace
Zechariah envisioned a king who would abolish weapons of war and proclaim peace to every nation.
Old Testament
Zechariah 9:10
I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and the warhorses from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be broken. He will proclaim peace to the nations. His rule will extend from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.
New Testament
Matthew 21:9
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest heaven!"
Why This Matters
Zechariah envisioned a king who would abolish weapons of war and proclaim peace to every nation. Paul declares that Christ is our peace — He has destroyed the wall of hostility between peoples. His kingdom is established not by chariots and warhorses but by the disarming power of reconciling love.
Reflection
King Jesus, through The King Comes Bringing Peace I see that Your reign has no end. Let Zechariah 9:10 and Matthew 21:9 lift my eyes to Your eternal throne.
