In John's wondrous declaration, there is a stark contrast between the present kingdom of collective humanity and the future kingdom of the King of kings.&amp;nbsp; &quot;The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever&quot; (Rev 11:15). Ever since Babel, collective humanity has sought to establish a government without God … whether it is Egypt or Babylon or Rome.&amp;nbsp; John says, &quot;The nations raged,&quot; perhaps echoing the language of Psalm 2:1.&amp;nbsp; &quot;The kings of the earth set themselves . . . against the LORD&quot; (Psa 2:2). But one of these days, the rule of humanity on the earth will give way to the rule of the Creator of all things.&amp;nbsp; This is reason for hope and joy and gratitude in our souls.&amp;nbsp; &quot;We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign&quot; (Rev 11:17).
