1 Chronicles 29:11-12
29:11 O
Lord, you are great, mighty, majestic, magnificent, glorious, and sovereign
over all the sky and earth! You have dominion and exalt yourself as the ruler
of all.
29:12 You are the source of wealth and honor;
you rule over all. You possess strength and might to magnify and give strength to all.
Psalms 47:2
47:2 For the sovereign Lord is awe-inspiring;
he is the great king who rules the whole earth!
Psalms 47:8
47:8 God reigns over the nations!
God sits on his holy throne!
Jeremiah 27:5-8
27:5 “I made the earth and the people and animals on it by my mighty power and great strength,
and I give it to whomever I see fit.
27:6 I have at this time placed all these nations of yours under the power
of my servant,
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I have even made all the wild animals subject to him.
27:7 All nations must serve him and his son and grandson
until the time comes for his own nation to fall.
Then many nations and great kings will in turn subjugate Babylon.
27:8 But suppose a nation or a kingdom will not be subject to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Suppose it will not submit to the yoke of servitude to
him. I, the
Lord, affirm that
I will punish that nation. I will use the king of Babylon to punish it
with war,
starvation, and disease until I have destroyed it.
Daniel 4:17
4:17 This announcement is by the decree of the sentinels;
this decision is by the pronouncement of the holy ones,
so that those who are alive may understand
that the Most High has authority over human kingdoms,
and he bestows them on whomever he wishes.
He establishes over them even the lowliest of human beings.’
Daniel 4:25
4:25 You will be driven
from human society,
and you will live
with the wild animals. You will be fed
grass like oxen,
and you will become damp with the dew of the sky. Seven periods of time will pass by for you, before
you understand that the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms and gives them to whomever he wishes.
Daniel 4:32-35
4:32 You will be driven from human society, and you will live with the wild animals. You will be fed grass like oxen, and seven periods of time will pass by for you before
you understand that the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms and gives them to whomever he wishes.”
4:33 Now in that very moment this pronouncement about Nebuchadnezzar came true. He was driven from human society, he ate grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until his hair became long like an eagle’s feathers, and his nails like a bird’s claws.
4:34 But at the end of the appointed time I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven, and my sanity returned to me.
I extolled the Most High,
and I praised and glorified the one who lives forever.
For his authority is an everlasting authority,
and his kingdom extends from one generation to the next.
4:35 All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing.
He does as he wishes with the army of heaven
and with those who inhabit the earth.
No one slaps his hand
and says to him, ‘What have you done?’
