How do we know that Jesus is the true King as portrayed in the Old Testament?

Scripture frequently presents earthly kings as types or foreshadows of Christ, the ultimate King. In this sermon, Jehu's anointing marks him as a deliverer chosen to enact God's judgment, mirroring Christ's mission in executing divine justice and redemption. Jehu, instructed by God to destroy the house of Ahab, represents how God uses anointed individuals to bring about His purposes, ultimately leading to the messianic fulfillment in Jesus Christ. The anointing signifies divine selection and empowerment, a reality culminated in Christ, who reigns with authority, righteousness, and the promise of vengeance against spiritual enemies. This typology underscores the continuity of God's redemptive plan throughout scripture.
