Verse 9

"And Jehovah shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one."

The triumph of God through Christ in the eradication of the gross paganism that corrupted ancient peoples is stated here. "The influence of Deuteronomy 6:4 is seen here, although, `his name one,' does not appear there in so many words."[22] "The scope of this verse is universal. It asserts that Yahweh shall be king over, not merely the whole of Palestine, but all the earth."[23] There are many, of course, who do not believe that God through Christ now rules over the earth; but that error is due solely to their misunderstanding of what the kingship of God really means. At this very moment, all who desire salvation in the name of Christ may receive it, if they will. In the whole dispensation, however, God allows the free exercise of the human will; and the fact of many willing to disobey God and his commandments in no way denies or prevents the rule of God. "All authority in heaven and upon earth" at this very moment is firmly in the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20).
