Author: Martha Kilpatrick
A secret King born to rule no earthly turf but all the Kingdoms of all the World and all the kings of all those kingdoms. He was King and the only Monarch ever born. King from birth by sovereign right of His Father's Throne. His reign came with His coming and a throne was His right of birth. He came to establish His throne on David's precedent and He reigns today, the Unseen King. His Kingdom is ever moving and increasing until one day it will burst onto earth in full and dazzling splendor.
