Jesus is not waiting to be enthroned as King of kings. Peter says (Acts 2:36)when Jesus was ascended into heaven, that the Father made Jesus both Lord (Lord of all) and Christ (i.e.Messianic King).Jesus does not lose down here even in the midst of corrupt nations, tyrannical leaders, trials,persecution, and death itself—as King, Jesus uses even His enemies to reveal His power to save us and sanctifyus in the battles we face and to topple kingdoms/rulers that will not bow the knee to Him and to blesskingdoms that do so.This is the only reason we can have a certain hope right now. It is not Satan that is King, but Jesus.Satan is only called a prince or a god of this world, not because he has a divine right to rule, but only becausethe world presently follows him. Jesus alone has a divine right to rule as King of kings, and Lord of lords.Whatever the trial you face, it is not the trial that rules, but Jesus that rules the trial. Jesus is King, and all thenations of this world will one day acknowledge Him to be so (Psalm 72:11).As the Lord teaches us our next history lesson from Daniel 11, let us remember that the events relatedto the success and demise of Antiochus the Great are all part of our Lord's amazing plan prophesied hundredsof years before they were fulfilled in such amazing detail. Just as He controlled history then, so He controlshistory now. He is the same Lord and King of all history and of your history.
