A King’s prayer for the coming King.
O God, make the king a godly judge like you
and give the king’s son the gift of justice too.
Help him to give true justice to your people,
honorably and equally to all.
Then the mountains of influence will be fruitful,
and from your righteousness
prosperity and peace will flow to all the people.
(Psalm 71: 1-3 TPT)
I never noticed until this week how often the Bible speaks of righteousness and peace being in relationship with each other. Our landscapes are shaped by both. Righteousness creates space for peace to flourish. Peace creates an environment for righteousness to grow.

I think the main one might be Melchizedek King of Salem.

Ah, the language of symbolism that takes centuries to play out. Melchizedek means King of Righteousness and Salem means peace. Jesus is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Much to mine here. “For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated “king of righteousness,” and then also king of Salem, meaning “king of peace,” without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.” Hebrews 7

King of righteousness. King of peace. The kingdom of this great King is therefore a kingdom of righteousness and peace. And joy in the Holy Spirit.
