(Continued-Chapter Three-The Outline of Messiah's Career)
The Lord hath sworn and will not repent: Thou art a priest forever After the order of Melchizedek, the King-priest of Jerusalem in the days of Abraham, whose royal glory and priestly functions typified your own unchanging rule and sacred office.
The Lord God at thy right hand will strike through kings in the day of his wrath, when thou shalt return to earth to begin thy rule of righteousness over the nations. He will judge among the nations. He will fill the places with dead bodies, in the final subjection of the world to Messiah's authority; He will strike through the head in many countries, that is the Lord will slay the world dictator who will have gained the supreme authority over the nations. He, King Messiah, will drink of the brook in the way, like Gideon's valiant warriors: Therefore will he lift up the head, in triumph.
