It emphasizes God's personal and relational nature with His people, Israel. The use of "LORD" in all caps in many English translations signifies this specific name, distinguishing it from other titles for God.<p><b>will reign</b><br>This indicates God's sovereign rule and kingship over all creation. The concept of God as King is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/93.htm">Psalm 93:1</a> and <a href="/isaiah/52-7.htm">Isaiah 52:7</a>. It underscores His authority and power, contrasting with the temporary and often unjust rule of earthly kings. This reign is both a present reality and a future hope, pointing to the ultimate establishment of God's kingdom.<p><b>forever and ever!</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the eternal nature of God's reign. Unlike human rulers whose reigns are limited by time and mortality, God's rule is without end. This eternal aspect is echoed in other scriptures such as <a href="/daniel/7-14.htm">Daniel 7:14</a> and <a href="/revelation/11-15.htm">Revelation 11:15</a>, which speak of an everlasting dominion. It also connects to the promise of an eternal kingdom through the line of David, fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the eternal King in the New Testament (<a href="/luke/1-32.htm">Luke 1:32-33</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal sovereignty and faithfulness to His people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses_and_the_israelites.htm">Moses and the Israelites</a></b><br>The leaders and people who sang this song of praise after their deliverance from Egypt.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_red_sea_crossing.htm">The Red Sea Crossing</a></b><br>The miraculous event where God parted the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to escape from Pharaoh's army.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a></b><br>The land of bondage from which the Israelites were delivered, representing sin and oppression.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_song_of_moses.htm">The Song of Moses</a></b><br>A song of victory and praise sung by Moses and the Israelites, celebrating God's deliverance and eternal reign.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_eternal_sovereignty.htm">God's Eternal Sovereignty</a></b><br>God's reign is not limited by time or circumstance.
