SYNOPSIS  -  Jesus is the present “ruler of the kings of the earth” in fulfillment of the promise to David of an anointed King  –  Revelation 1:4-6 .  From the very start of the  book of Revelation , Jesus is declared the “ ruler over the kings of the earth ” in the present tense – Even his enemies are unable to move against him without his knowledge or consent. His exaltation is based on his past sacrificial Death and Resurrection – It is an  accomplished fact  –  NOT  on hereditary rights or military might. He is the anointed king promised by Yahweh who now reigns over the earth from the throne of David, indeed, over the Cosmos. - [ Photo by Willian B. on Unsplash ].
