It might be surprising how many people around the world know that today is Elvis Presleys birthday. The enduring popularity of the singer from Mississippi spans generations and cultures. More than 30 years after his death, sales of Presleys music, memorabilia, and licensing agreements generate millions of dollars in annual income. Once dubbed The King of Rock and Roll, Elvis is often called simply, The King.
Whether the kings of this world are celebrities, athletes, crowned heads, or tycoons, they come and go. Their influence may be immense and their followers fanatically loyal, but it doesnt last forever.
The Bible, however, refers to Jesus Christ as the eternal King. Revelation 17 speaks prophetically of earthly kings who will fight to establish their authority at the end of the ages. Biblical scholars have debated the identities of these kings, but there is no mistake about the One they cannot overpower: These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful (Rev. 17:14).
Hi Kitty. Haappy Thursday.

Have a beautiful day.
