Eternal King

The concept of the Eternal King is rooted in the biblical understanding of God's sovereignty and the messianic reign of Jesus Christ, who is recognized as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The expectation of a messianic king was prevalent in Jewish thought during the Second Temple period, as they awaited deliverance from oppression and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth.
