”For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.“
1 Kings 4:24 KJV
Solomon was sovereign over everything, countries and kings, west of the River Euphrates from Tiphsah to Gaza. Peace reigned everywhere. It was through peace that Solomon had dominion over Israel, a shadow of the reality of God’s dominion. We connect dominion with domination. But as Nebuchadnezzar learned the hard way when at the end of the time he lifted his eyes to heaven, and his understanding returned to him; and he “blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His Kingdom is from generation to generation.” God’s will is that we believe in Jesus Christ, the Faithful Witness, the Firstborn from the dead, and the Ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him Who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own Blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen!
