The Old Testament title for Jesus on December 22 is: O Rex Gentium, or in English: O King of the nations.
Scripturally, the new King will bring Peace. I love this passage from Isaiah. As you think of Jesus as King, meditate on this.
"He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." Isaiah 2:4
Here is the Liturgical Antiphone for Today:
O King of the nations, and their desire,
the cornerstone making both one:
Come and save the human race,
which you fashioned from clay.
Peace
