As the supreme ruler of God\u2019s heavenly kingdom, Jesus Christ \u201cmust reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet\u201d (1 Corinthians 15:25).<\/p>\n According to the Bible, particularly in 1 Corinthians 15:24-28, Jesus will eventually subdue all his enemies, including death, and then hand over his kingdom to God the Father, signifying that God will be the ultimate ruler of all things once everything is under Christ’s control; essentially, Jesus will relinquish his reign to fully establish God’s dominion over all creation.<\/p>\n 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God Almighty [Father] may be all in all. Jesus Christ will be King of Kings for ever under God Almighty.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n 2 Peter 1:11 Isa 9:7 ==========================<\/p>\n Jesus Christ had the divine government\u2014the dominion, power, and authority of the kingdom of heaven\u2014on His shoulders when He bore the cross for our sins (1 Corinthians 1:18; Colossians 2:14; 1 Peter 2:24). For it was by this act that He conquered sin, death, hell, and the devil (John 16:33; Acts 2:24; Romans 6:9\u201310; 1 Corinthians 15:24\u201325, 54\u201357; 1 John 3:8; 2 Timothy 1:10). The apostle Paul acknowledges that Jesus is \u201cthe head over every ruler and authority\u201d (Colossians 2:10, NLT).<\/p>\n Jesus Christ ushered in a glorious new day for all humanity when the King \u201chumbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal\u2019s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father\u201d (Philippians 2:8\u201311, NLT).<\/p>\n Now He \u201cis seated at the right hand of the throne of God\u201d (Hebrews 12:2, ESV). The highest government in all creation with power to exercise absolute dominion over every being in heaven and on earth will be on His shoulders for all eternity (Psalm 146:10). He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 17:14; 19:16).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FROM: GotQuestions.org \u201cgovernment\u201d in Isaiah 9:6 means \u201cdominion, power, or sovereignty through legal authority.\u201d \u201cgovernment and its peace will never end.
