Overtly, the meaning of “king” is “a hereditary monarch”.
Kabbalistically, the meaning of “king” is “one who fights for
freedom”.
This we derive from Martin Luther King, whose name was “king” in
two ways: first in English via his surname, second in Hebrew via
his initials. Likewise, he signifies fighting for freedom in two
ways. First, through his name: “Martin” comes from Latin “martinus”
and shares a root with “martial” meaning “warlike” or “fighting”,
“Luther” comes from Greek “eleutheria” meaning “freedom”, and so
“Martin Luther” equals “one who fights for freedom”. Second,
through the example of his life.
And so in accordance with the secret structure of the universe, the
Comet King marched forth to fight for freedom."
