Daniel 7:9-10

Judgment

Daniel wrote:

9 (A) Thrones were set up
    while I was watching,
and the Eternal God[a]
    took his place.
His clothing and his hair
    were white as snow.
His throne was a blazing fire
    with fiery wheels,
10 (B) and flames were dashing out
    from all around him.
Countless thousands
were standing there
    to serve him.
The time of judgment began,
    and the books[b] were opened.

Daniel 7:13-14

13 (A) As I continued to watch the vision that night,

I saw what looked like
    a son of man[a]
coming with the clouds of heaven,
and he was presented
    to the Eternal God.[b]
14 (B) He was crowned king
    and given power and glory,
so that all people
of every nation and race
    would serve him.
He will rule forever,
and his kingdom is eternal,
    never to be destroyed.

Psalm 93

The Lord Is King

1 Our Lord, you are King!
Majesty and power
    are your royal robes.
You put the world in place,
    and it will never be moved.
2 You have always ruled,
    and you are eternal.

3 The ocean is roaring, Lord!
    The sea is pounding hard.
4 Its mighty waves are majestic,
but you are even more majestic,
    and you rule over all.
5 Your decisions are firm,
and your temple will always
    be beautiful and holy.

Revelation 1:4-8

4 (A) From John to the seven churches in Asia.[a]

I pray that you
    will be blessed
with kindness and peace
from God, who is and was
    and is coming.
May you receive
    kindness and peace
from the seven spirits
    before the throne of God.
5 (B) May kindness and peace
    be yours
from Jesus Christ,
    the faithful witness.

Jesus was the first
    to conquer death,
and he is the ruler
    of all earthly kings.
Christ loves us,
    and by his blood
he set us free
    from our sins.
6 (C) He lets us rule as kings
and serve God his Father
    as priests.
To him be glory and power
    forever and ever! Amen.
7 (D) Look! He is coming
    with the clouds.
Everyone will see him,
even the ones who stuck
    a sword through him.
All people on earth
will weep because of him.
    Yes, it will happen! Amen.

8 (E) The Lord God says, “I am Alpha and Omega,[b] the one who is and was and is coming. I am God All-Powerful!”

John 18:33-37

33 Pilate then went back inside. He called Jesus over and asked, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

34 Jesus answered, “Are you asking this on your own or did someone tell you about me?”

35 “You know I'm not a Jew!” Pilate said. “Your own people and the chief priests brought you to me. What have you done?”

36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom doesn't belong to this world. If it did, my followers would have fought to keep me from being handed over to our leaders. No, my kingdom doesn't belong to this world.”

37 “So you are a king,” Pilate replied.

“You are saying that I am a king,” Jesus told him. “I was born into this world to tell about the truth. And everyone who belongs to the truth knows my voice.”
