“King of kings and Lord of lords” — Revelation 19:16, NKJV
Throughout human history, there has always been a lust for power. Through conquests, reigns of terror, and totalitarian systems of government, dictators have sought to hold sway over the affairs of mankind. Some have even been insane enough to call themselves gods and demand worship. From imperial China, to ancient Rome, to modern day North Korea — it is not uncommon.
It is a necessity to have human government. There must be rulers to protect people and govern the world. All of these leaders will be imperfect — except for One.
Jesus Christ is King of all kings and Lord of all lords. No matter how powerful a human ruler is, above them there is a man sitting on a throne in heaven, ruling the universe “upholding all things by the word of His power” (Hebrews 1:4); “Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases” (Psalm 115:3); “The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD” (Prov. 16:33).
This world is ever-increasingly overflowing with the spirit of Antichrist. “Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed” (Psalm 2:1-2). But what is God’s response? “He who sits in the heavens laughs” (Psalm 2:4). Why is He able to laugh? Because there is coming a day in which every crown will be stripped of every king and placed on the head of King Jesus. Every king will fall face down before the throne of all thrones. “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever” (Rev. 11:15).
The King of kings rules the universe. He will rule the earth. Look to King Jesus. Trust Him as your King.
