Kings

The first kingdom to exist was the kingdom of heaven. Heaven is more real than earth, so God is the only true king.

When men seek to become kings and rulers, they are attempting to be like God. Even David could not be a true king. God let David take the role as a type of Jesus Kingdom, just as the tabernacle was a type of the heavenly sanctuary. However, a type is always a shadow of the reality it represents.

Every human king is a usurper of God’s true kingdom.
