Zec 9:10 | MHM | STEP | v. 10 : The kingdom of the Messiah is described as peaceful and spiritual. He will remove the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem , showing that his rule does not depend on military power . Instead, he will protect his people himself and bring peace. His rule will be spread through the preaching of the gospel. He will speak peace to the nations , just as Christ came and preached peace to those who were far off and to those who were near (Ephesians 2:17 ). His kingdom will turn people away from war and violence, making them peaceful. The prophecy says his rule will stretch from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth (Psalm 72:8 ), showing that the gospel will reach the whole world.
