Evening Message: Monarchy (02/15/2026)
God deliberately chose to advance his messianic promise through the office of human kingship rather than any other form of government, because humanity already bears a royal image, kings represent their people federally, fallen kings expose the need for a perfect king, and all of history moves toward the true King who is God himself incarnate in Jesus, the son of David.
