Connect Psalm 99:2 with another scripture highlighting God's supreme authority. Majesty Established in Zion “Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.” (Psalm 99:2) Echoed Authority in Daniel 4:34–35 “But at the end of those days I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my sanity was restored to me. Then I blessed the Most High and praised and glorified Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation. All the peoples of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does as He pleases with the army of heaven and the peoples of the earth. There is no one who can restrain His hand or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’” Common Threads of Supreme Authority • Universal scope: – Psalm 99:2—“above all the peoples.” – Daniel 4—“all the peoples of the earth are counted as nothing.” • Eternal reign: – Zion’s King is “great” now and forever. – Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges an “everlasting dominion.” • Unquestionable sovereignty: – God is “exalted,” needing no human endorsement. – “No one can restrain His hand” or demand explanations. Living Under His Exalted Rule • Confidence: The same God who cannot be overruled secures every promise (Isaiah 46:9–10). • Humility: Recognizing His supremacy guards us from pride, as it did for Nebuchadnezzar (James 4:10). • Worship: Our praise rises because His throne is already high; we simply join the chorus (Revelation 19:6). |
