"He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and form the river unto the ends of the earth."
- Psalm 72:8
This is a clear prophecy of the world-wide dominion or rulership of
Jesus Christ. Before Pilate Jesus confessed: "My kingdom is not of this
world." Christ was no earthly ruler. He did not come to establish a
worldly kingdom. Even to this day there is much confusion of thought on
this point. Some are right now hoping that a more just peace after this
war will bring in the kingdom. NO! The Kingdom of Christ is spiritual,
though not of the world, it is in the world today. Wherever the Gospel
of Christ is preached and believed, there souls are . . .

Christ's kingdom is with us and in us "when God gives us His Holy Spirit, so that by His grace we believe His holy Word and lead a godly life."
Christian friends, For the spread of that Kingdom we must earnestly pray and work.
Christ shall have dominion, over land and sea,
Earth's remotest regions shall His empire be;
They that wilds inhabit shall their worship bring
Kings shall render tribute, nations serve our King.
*Refrain*
Christ shall have dominion, over land and sea
Earth's remotest regions shall His empire be.
Ever and forever shall His Name endure
Long as suns continue it shall stand secure
And in Him forever all men shall be blest,
And all nations hail Him King of kings confessed.
Refrain
Unto God Almighty joyful Zion sings;
He alone is glorious, doing wondrous things
Evermore, ye people, bless His glorious Name
His eternal glory through the earth proclaim
