“God is King of all the earth” is again proclaimed in the present absolute and adoration in Psalm and song is again commanded. More truths follow the jubilant proclamation of the heavenly monarchy.

The twenty-four elders who fell on their faces and worshiped God as stated in yesterday’s BDBD say, “‘We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great– and for destroying those who destroy the earth.’ Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm.” (Revelation 11:17-19)
