When the Apostle John wrote in Revelation words about Jesus being Christ and faithful and true as God's witness but also Ruler of the kings of the earth it might have been a striking revelation indeed that even the Ceasars of Rome are ruled by this Lord. Now today He still shows supremacy over kings of all kinds. Yet surely He often leaves them alone in their decisions to see what is in their hearts, as God His Father did with kings in ancient times scripture writers inspired by Him tell us. So Jesus can call the shots or refrain from doing so as and when. We cannot assume rulers are acting in His will or God the Father's will even rulers who acknowledge Jesus as being their own Lord. But what a Ruler Jesus is, completely devoid of defect. Full of faith. Son of God.
