The concept of dominion is rooted in the biblical understanding of God's kingship, as seen in <a href="/genesis/1-26.htm">Genesis 1:26-28</a>, where humanity is given dominion over the earth as stewards under God's supreme rule. The idea of God's dominion is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms (e.g., <a href="/psalms/47-2.htm">Psalm 47:2</a>, <a href="/psalms/103-19.htm">Psalm 103:19</a>) and is central to the biblical narrative, affirming that all power and authority originate from Him. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern context where kingship was often associated with divine mandate, yet the Bible uniquely attributes ultimate dominion to the LORD alone, distinguishing Him from other deities of the time.<p><b>and He rules over the nations.</b><br>This phrase highlights God's governance over all peoples and nations, not just Israel. It underscores the universal scope of God's reign, as seen in passages like <a href="/daniel/4-17.htm">Daniel 4:17</a>, where God's sovereignty over earthly kingdoms is declared. This is significant in the historical context of Israel, a small nation surrounded by powerful empires, affirming that despite appearances, God is in control of world events. Theologically, this points to the eschatological hope found in prophecies such as <a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2-4</a> and <a href="/revelation/11-15.htm">Revelation 11:15</a>, where God's rule is fully realized on earth. It also prefigures the messianic reign of Jesus Christ, who is described as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords in <a href="/revelation/19-16.htm">Revelation 19:16</a>, fulfilling the promise of God's rule over all nations.<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 existence and sovereign authority over all creation.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/n/nations.htm">Nations</a></b><br>Refers to all the peoples and kingdoms of the earth, highlighting the universal scope of God's dominion.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/22.htm">Psalm 22</a>, David was the second king of Israel and a man after God's own heart.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, through whom the message of God's sovereignty and salvation is revealed.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/messianic_prophecy.htm">Messianic Prophecy</a></b><br>Psalm 22 is often seen as a prophetic psalm pointing to the suffering and ultimate victory of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>Recognize that God is the ultimate ruler over all nations and authorities.
