"A Reformed understanding of the gospel, of worship, of education, of politics, and so on, is incoherent apart from a commitment to Christendom.” — Douglas Wilson, Mere Christendom
You cannot say, "Christ is King" without being committed to Christendom.
Revelation 11:15
The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
If you refuse to say, "Christ is King" because you are committed to resisting Christendom, you are at odds with God. Kings have kingdoms. Christ has Christendom.
Revelation 17:14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
You cannot contradict Christ. His Word will stand. He is, after all, the Word of God.
Revelation 19:13-26
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
God gets the final Word. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. His kingdom shall reign forever and ever, world without end, and amen.
