The Absolute Lord
Messianic promises from the Hebrew Bible are applied to the present reign of Jesus who possesses all authority in Heaven and on Earth . Jesus has reigned as Sovereign over the Earth since his Death and Resurrection. Already he sits firmly on the Messianic Throne. Because of his “ obedience unto death ,” he is the “ Ruler of the Kings of the Earth .” Jesus declared that God had given him “ all authority in Heaven and on Earth .” The sovereignty of the “ Lamb ” is limitless and a present reality .
