Lord of Kings


"The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret." Daniel 2:47

King Nebuchadnezzar had an amazing vision, and God revealed the meaning of it through Daniel. The vision concerned the rise and fall of future kings and kingdoms. The final kingdom to rise would conquer all others and last forever, for it would come from God. The Lord was the one who controlled these things, and Nebuchadnezzar came to recognize this. After Daniel finished his interpretation, Nebuchadnezzar declared, “Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings.” As we reflect on human history, and especially the current times, we can thank and worship God, who is the Lord of kings.
