Day 28 - King of the Nations

Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the nations, And I will sing praises to Your name. 

(2 Samuel 22:50)

Names of God: A Way to Understand His Nature and Character

The names of God are more than a distinguishing title, they represent the divine nature of God and His relationship with His people. God deserves reverence, awe and respect. The Psalmist says “holy and reverend is his name (Ps. 111:19). God has chosen to make himself known to us through the use of His names. All that God is and all that Elohim does can be understood in His many names.

All this week we will be exploring the Kingship of our God and our Lord Christ Jesus. Kingship is the state or condition of being a king. a person or thing regarded as the finest or most important in its sphere or group.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Numbers 6:22-27 (CEB)

The Lord spoke to Moses: 23 Tell Aaron and his sons: You will bless the Israelites as follows. Say to them: 24 The Lord bless you and protect you. 25 The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. 26 The Lord lift up his face to you and grant you peace 27 They will place my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.

• Place: deposit, invest, put in a particular position, a distinct condition, or state of mind.

I will Bless you with…Visitation - Glory - Fire!

I will Keep you… watch over, guard, preserve or protect you!

I will Make My Face Shine Upon You…We shall meet ‘face to face’ My Presence will be with you! My favor and grace will be upon you!

I will be Gracious to you…show kindness, be merciful, and give you favor.

• Gracious: properly to bend or stoop in kindness to an inferior; to favor, bestow; causatively to implore (that is, move to favor by petition); (be) merciful.

O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. (Isaiah 30:19) vs. 18 says, Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him. 

The Tribe of Simeon

Simeon was fifth tribe moving out – he was just plain mean; he often took revenge and become violent with people. He did whatever he thought was right in his own eyes.

Then she conceived again and bore a son and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." So she named him Simeon. Genesis 29:33

Simeon = “heard” The 2nd son of Jacob by his wife Leah and father of the tribe of Simeon.

• From Ancient Hebrew: To hear as well as to respond to what is heard.

• Simeon is associated with the Biblical month of Av (July/August).

Jacob’s Blessing - A Disavowing of Actions

Genesis 49:5- 7 5 "Simeon and Levi are brothers; Their swords are implements of violence. 6 "Let my soul not enter into their council; Let not my glory be united with their assembly; Because in their anger they slew men, And in their self-will they lamed oxen. 7 "Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; And their wrath, for it is cruel. I will disperse them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.

Interesting Notes: It was Zimri, a member of one of the leading families of this tribe, who was slain by Phinehas in the situation at Baal-peor (Num 25:14). This tribe was not mentioned in Moses' blessing of the nation of Israel (Deut. 33). 1 Chr. 4:28-33 makes it appear that the tribe of Simeon had been assimilated into the tribe of Judah, thus fulfilling Jacob's prophecy (Gen. 49:5-7). 

No Blessing from Moses but Ezekiel gives a Redemptive Prophesy

Although the descendants of Simeon disappeared as a tribe, Ezekiel mentions it in his prophecies about a future land of Canaan (Ezek. 48:24-25,33). The Book of Revelation also mentions 12,000 of the tribe of Simeon who were sealed (Rev. 7:7). 

The tribes of Rueben, Simeon and Gad were unruly and violent but God did not cut them off. Instead in His wisdom, He aligned them in a way that He could use their strengths and control their weaknesses. This group of tribes could easily be called God’s battle-axe brigade.

I Will Bless THEM!

NAME OF GOD / King of the Nations

God was called King of Israel or King of Jacob and Jesus (Yeshua‘) was called King of the Jews. King of the nations is a name of God that indicates that His authority extends beyond a particular people throughout the entire world.  https://namesforgod.net/king-of-the-nations/

Scriptures: Jeremiah 10:7; Revelation 15:3

King of the nations in Hebrew: Melekh haggoyim

Jeremiah 10:6-7 6 There is none like You, O LORD; You are great, and great is Your name in might. 7 Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? Indeed it is Your due! For among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms, There is none like You.

King of the nations in Greek: Ho basileus t?n ethn?n

Revelation 15:3 AMP  3And they sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, Mighty and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God the Omnipotent! Righteous (just) and true are Your ways, O Sovereign of the ages (King of the nations)! [Exo 15:1; Psa 145:17]

Revelation 15:3-4 3And they (victorious saints)  sang the song of Moses, the bond-servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations! 4 "Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; For ALL THE NATIONS WILL COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE YOU, FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS HAVE BEEN REVEALED.” 

Desire of All Nations

Haggai 2:6-9 (NKJV)  6 For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts. 8 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the LORD of hosts. 9 'The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts. 'And in this place I will give peace,' says the LORD of hosts."

Blessing / Declaration of the Name:

I put, pronounce, invoke and place the name of King of the Nations upon you! Yahweh, we give thanks to You, among the nations. O LORD we sing praises to Your name - You alone are worthy of our admiration!

I say, Visitation - Glory - and Fire are coming to your house. I say, Yahweh is preserving and protecting the things that concern you. He is aware of all your concerns, so lay them at His feet…Yahweh’s favor, graciousness, kindness and mercy are being extended to you and yours. Yahweh is calling you! Come, He says, meet Me face to face - My presence will envelop you in these days.

Yahweh, desires to hone your character so it will exemplify Jesus to the nations. So, if you are like Simeon prone be mean, take revenge or become violent with people, Repent! If you are like Simeon ‘one who does whatever he thinks is right in his own eyes’, KNOW it will cost you the greater portion of your inheritance. REPENT, beloved!Align yourself with My character and attributes for I desire for you to walk in ‘all’ of your promised land. 

I say, stand in awe of the King of the nations for there is none like Him. He alone is great, and great is His name. Hear of Nations: Wise men will fear and give Him homage to the King of the nations for there is none like Him. He is the sovereign of the nations; marvelous are His mighty works and righteous and true are His ways.

I say, Beloved, the shaking you have seen throughout the earth is meant to bring My People, and the nations of the earth to the Desire of ALL Nations. The King of the nations is shaking the earth to prepare her for the latter glory. Fear not your financial standing says the King of the Nations for the silver and gold are Mine. I am repositioning it for My end-time harvest - I am well able to care for you and to release kingdom wealth into your hands. 

I say, shaking is producing the latter glory in My People (temple) who yield to Me. I will fill you, I will fill My temple, I will fill the nations with a greater portion of glory in these days. Says, the King of the Nations!
