In Psalms, chapter twenty-four, verses seven through ten, these verses are Messianic. The King of Glory is the Lord Jesus, as in John one, verse fourteen, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Jesus Christ, the eternal God, became human, as in Philippians two, verses five through nine. Humanity and deity united together in Him. Humbly, He entered human life with all the limitations of human experiences.
The “generation of them that seek Him” are the faithful believers who must pray that the “King of glory shall come.” This prayer for God’s kingdom to come anticipates Christ’s eternal reign and the final destruction of evil, as in Zechariah nine, verse nine, “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.” Zechariah’s prophecy foresees the triumphal entry of Jesus in Jerusalem, as in Matthew twenty-one, verses one through five. By riding into the holy city this way, Jesus declared Himself the Messiah and Savior, ready to go to the cross. Revelation nineteen through twenty-two foretells what is to take place upcoming.
The faithful believers must continue praying and waiting for the King of Glory. Those not praying are the churchgoers who are not looking for the King of Glory but focusing on other things that might miss Him if they do not shift their focus to the Creator instead of His creation. A Songwriter said, “We have come this far by faith, leaning on the Lord, trusting in His holy word, He never fails me yet. Oh, oh, oh, we can’t turn back. We come this far by faith.”
