When we see this theme in the prophets & New Testament, we move from a generic hunger for a good king, to the prophesied coming of the King...
-Shout for joy, O Zion, the Lord has removed judgment from you. Don't fear disaster; He is your warrior. He rejoices over you. (Zeph 3:14-17)
-Rejoice greatly, Zion--your King is coming, victorious, mounted on a donkey. He will remove the battle and bow, and His dominion will be from sea to sea. (Zech 9:9-10)
-The wisemen came to worship the king of the Jews. (Matt. 2:1-11)
-The angel tells Mary she will give birth to the Son of the Most High. He will be given the throne of His father David and His kingdom will never end. (Luke 1:30-33)
-He is called "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" (Rev. 19:11-16)
-"Sing praises to our King, For God is the King of all the earth...God reigns over the nations." (Psalm 47)
In these scriptures we see One raised up who destroys the wicked with finality and rules lovingly over the earth with justice. Today as well, the cry of every nation longs for the coming of this faithful ruler, powerful and good. His name is Jesus.
