It is used to denote authority, control, or the act of governing. In the context of the Bible, it often implies a divinely ordained rule or leadership, particularly in relation to the Messiah's reign.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of dominion was closely tied to the idea of divine kingship. The king was seen as God's appointed ruler, responsible for maintaining justice and order. The use of "misrah" in prophetic literature often points to the anticipated Messianic rule, which was expected to bring peace and righteousness. This reflects the broader Near Eastern understanding of kingship as a divine mandate.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>rule, dominion<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>government (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מִשְׂרָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>rule, dominion</b></font>;
