There is in the "Old Testament" of the Bible, a concept which has no word for it in English called 'hamlacha'. It's meaning is "to crown someone as king". This is what Yeshua was referring to in Matthew 23:39 as He said that He would not return until the people of Jerusalem were ready to declare Him as king. In verse 39 it says, You shall see Me no more till you say, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!". In His triumphal entry in the gospel of Mark chapter 11:9-10... 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord!' This is an inauguration! It is a declaration of kingship, this is 'hamlacha'! This is a reversal of what the people cried out in the courtyard over Yeshua. There is a day coming when instead of crying out "Crucify Him!" all the people will cry out, "CROWN HIM!" The last words of Yeshua in Revelation 22:16b,20, I am the root and offspring of David...Surely I am coming quickly. Hosanna! The Spirit and the Bride say, COME!!! Yeshua is our Savior... It is time to make Him Lord and King in our lives, so a dying world can see Him,reflecting in us, as He is... THE KING OF KINGS and THE LORD OF LORDS!!!
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
