The Bible affirms Jesus as King, specifically in Matthew 21, where He is proclaimed as King of Kings by the crowds.
In Matthew 21:1-11, Jesus enters Jerusalem, riding on a donkey, and the crowds proclaim, 'Hosanna to the Son of David!' This event emphasizes Christ's kingship, fulfilling the prophecy from Zechariah 9:9. He is identified as the King who comes in the name of the Lord, underscoring His divine authority and Messiahship. Furthermore, the New Testament continually affirm His lordship, as seen in Revelation 19:16, where He is referred to as the 'King of Kings and Lord of Lords.' His kingship is established by God's eternal decree, not by human means, affirming His sovereignty over all creation.
