Ps. 89:27
"Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the Earth."
This is obviously a reference to Christ; in fact, Paul comments on this verse in Col. 1:15. But it's more than a second advent prophecy. Jesus appeared upon the Earth at the time of Augustus, the head of the most powerful empire the world has ever known, but God declares that the Christ will be greater than any earthly king. Indeed, lesser kings serve the will of any more powerful king, so the greatest of all Caesars served the still-unborn almighty King by declaring the census that put Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem.
