Which New Testament passages echo the theme of God's dominion in Psalm 22:28? Setting the Theme Psalm 22:28 declares, “For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.” The New Testament picks up this same heartbeat, celebrating God’s absolute authority—now centered in the risen Christ—over every realm and people. Echoes in the Gospels • Matthew 6:10 – “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” • Matthew 28:18 – “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” • Luke 1:33 – “He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end.” Echoes in the Epistles • Ephesians 1:20-22 – God “seated Him at His right hand… far above all rule and authority, power and dominion… And God put all things under His feet.” • Philippians 2:9-11 – “At the name of Jesus every knee should bow… and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” • 1 Timothy 6:15-16 – He is “the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords… To Him be honor and eternal dominion!” • 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 – Christ destroys “all dominion, authority, and power,” then hands the kingdom to the Father “so that God may be all in all.” • Hebrews 2:8 – “You have put all things in subjection under His feet.” Echoes in Revelation • Revelation 11:15 – “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” • Revelation 19:6 – “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.” Seeing the Big Picture Today Psalm 22:28 sets the baseline: dominion is the LORD’s. The New Testament shows that this dominion is fully expressed in Jesus—granted to Him by the Father, exercised now in His church, and ultimately displayed over every nation when He returns. From the Lord’s Prayer to the triumph of Revelation, the message stays consistent: God rules, Christ reigns, and every knee will bow under His sovereign lordship. |
