Nancy, "to rule with an iron sceptor." I take this to mean the strongest possible force for ruling, namely the love of God.
Thank you for your ideas.
Jesus is reigning now.
"God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets," (Heb 1:1 NKJV)
"has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;" (Heb 1:2 NKJV)
"who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high," (Heb 1:3 NKJV)
"having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." (Heb 1:4 NKJV)
"Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens," (Heb 8:1 NKJV)
"a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man." (Heb 8:2 NKJV)
"who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him." (1 Pet 3:22 NKJV)
"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." (Mat 28:18 NKJV)
The King is alive in His glory!!!!!
God bless,
