THE king has been already prepared for trial, by obedience, and by exaltation. The day for him to reign is "appointed"; there is a "set time" when it will come to pass; as the Psalmist said, "Thou shalt arise and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, the set time, is come" (Psalm 102:13). When this set time comes "the nations shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory" (verses 15, 16).
