"REFLECTIONS ON THE KINGDOM OF GOD"
CARL F. H. HENRY*
JETS 35/1 (March 1992) 39-49

Excerpt:

The idea of God as King did not first arise as a reflex of Israel's institution of a human king, because that development is depicted as an outrage that Yahweh at best tolerates. Generations earlier the Hebrews, when delivered from Egypt through the Red Sea, acknowledged that "the LORD is King for ever and ever" (Exod 15:18). Moses refers to Yahweh expressly as
King (Deut 33:5). He that is worshiped in Zion is, in the words of Isaiah,
judge of the whole world, including "the kings on the earth below" (Isa
24:21). The exodus presaged a future and even greater deliverance, one
that would manifest the kingdom of God under the rule of the divine
messianic representative (Isa 51:9-11; Hos 2:16-25).
