A King Who Saves and Unites

Commentators agree that the king who brings salvation and safety is the Messiah, Jesus Christ. His reign is prophesied to unite God's people—'Judah' and 'Israel'—which is understood spiritually to mean all believers. This promise of ultimate security and salvation is fulfilled in Christ's spiritual kingdom, where believers find true rest and peace.
