Ruler of the Kings of the Earth
ἄρχων τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς
The Ruler of the Kings of the Earth — sovereign over every earthly authority
Symbol: The crown above every crown — kings report to the Ruler they did not elect
“and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.”
Revelation 1:5
John opens Revelation by naming Jesus the Ruler of the kings of the earth — every president, monarch and tyrant is under His authority.
What the name means
He is the faithful witness and firstborn from the dead — His rule is rooted in truth and resurrection.
The Ruler of kings does not need to be elected — His authority is eternal, not borrowed.
Pray this name over every election and decree — the Ruler of kings outranks them all.
How to pray this name
- Pray: 'Ruler of the kings of the earth, I trust Your sovereignty over every government.'
- Pray it for leaders — the Ruler raises and removes them.
Ruler of the Kings of the Earth, I trust Your sovereignty. Every throne reports to Yours. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
