Greek · ba-si-LEUS ba-si-LE-on kai KY-ri-os ky-ri-ON

King of Kings and Lord of Lords

βασιλεὺς βασιλέων καὶ κύριος κυρίων

King of Kings and Lord of Lords — supreme over every earthly ruler

Symbol: The crown above every crown — kings remove theirs before Him

“which God will bring about in his own time — God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.”
1 Timothy 6:15

There is no king, president, emperor or system that does not report to Him. He is King of kings and Lord of lords.

What the name means

Revelation 19:16 says this title is written on His robe and on His thigh at His return — visible, unmistakable, final.

Every earthly ruler is a king under the King — their authority is borrowed and temporary.

Pray this name over elections, economies and empires — the King of kings is not anxious about any of them.

Pray it over world events: 'King of kings, reign over the nations — they answer to You.'
Pray it over your own life: every lesser king in your heart bows to Him.

King of Kings and Lord of Lords, every throne reports to Yours. I trust Your rule over the nations and over me. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.

My God is King of kings and Lord of lords — no earthly power outranks Him.

Revelation 19:16 · Deuteronomy 10:17 · Psalm 47:7-8 · Daniel 2:47
