PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #17: MELEK - KING
Key Scripture’s : Psalm 24:7

Understanding the Name:
Compared to surrounding nations, the Israelites were relatively late in adopting monarchy as a form of government. Instead, they thought of Yahweh as their Malek. Once the monarchy was established, it was understood that the king received his power from God and was therefore responsible for ruling according to God’s laws. David, Israel’s second king, represented the ideal of how a king should rule.

But most of the kings of Israel and Judah fell far short of the ideal, leading people away from God by forging ill-fated alliances with foreign powers and by sanctioning the worship of false gods. After years of living under the rule of these less-than-perfect kings, God’s people longed for a Malek— a descendant of David who would sit on Israel’s throne, subdue its enemies, and then rule over the entire earth. Given these expectations, it is hardly surprising that even Jesus’s disciples thought he would establish an earthly kingdom.
