A curse on the cheater who sacrifices a worthless animal to me, when he has in his flock a good animal that he promised to give me! For I am a great king, and people of all nations fear me."

to reveal his Son to me, so that I might preach the Good News about him to the Gentiles, I did not go to anyone for advice,

Now listen to this warning, you kings; learn this lesson, you rulers of the world:

and bow down to him; or else his anger will be quickly aroused, and you will suddenly die. Happy are all who go to him for protection.

destroy them in your anger; destroy them completely. Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel, that his rule extends over all the earth.

The LORD is king. He is clothed with majesty and strength. The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.

The LORD is king! Earth, be glad! Rejoice, you islands of the seas!

The LORD is king, and the people tremble. He sits on his throne above the winged creatures, and the earth shakes.

At the time of those rulers the God of heaven will establish a kingdom that will never end. It will never be conquered, but will completely destroy all those empires and then last forever.

"Turn away from your sins," he said, "because the Kingdom of heaven is near!"

Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The power to rule over the world belongs now to our Lord and his Messiah, and he will rule forever and ever!"

Then I heard what sounded like a crowd, like the sound of a roaring waterfall, like loud peals of thunder. I heard them say, "Praise God! For the Lord, our Almighty God, is King!

The LORD says to his people, "When the time comes to save you, I will show you favor and answer your cries for help. I will guard and protect you and through you make a covenant with all peoples. I will let you settle once again in your land that is now laid waste.

He reflects the brightness of God's glory and is the exact likeness of God's own being, sustaining the universe with his powerful word. After achieving forgiveness for the sins of all human beings, he sat down in heaven at the right side of God, the Supreme Power.

when the LORD comes to rule the earth. He will rule the peoples of the world with justice and fairness.

He rules the world with righteousness; he judges the nations with justice.

May the nations be glad and sing for joy, because you judge the peoples with justice and guide every nation on earth.

because he comes to rule the earth. He will rule the peoples of the world with justice and fairness.

and find pleasure in obeying him. He will not judge by appearance or hearsay;

He will rule his people with justice and integrity.

For he has fixed a day in which he will judge the whole world with justice by means of a man he has chosen. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising that man from death!"

But you have a hard and stubborn heart, and so you are making your own punishment even greater on the Day when God's anger and righteous judgments will be revealed.
