Universal Kingship

The concept of Universal Kingship refers to God's sovereign rule over all creation, emphasizing His authority and dominion as King over the universe. This theme is prevalent throughout both the Old and New Testaments, illustrating God's ultimate power and the establishment of His kingdom.

The idea of kingship in the ancient Near East often involved a ruler's divine right to govern. In Israel, God was recognized as the ultimate King, with human kings serving under His authority. This theme is further developed in the New Testament with the coming of Christ, who fulfills the role of the King.
