The Book of Revelation assures the beleaguered congregations of Asia that Jesus reigns and has events firmly in hand despite appearances and the hostility from their neighbors and even local governments. His sovereignty is based on his past death and resurrection, and the latter marked the commencement of his reign from the messianic Throne at the center of the Cosmos.

Jesus is the promised ruler from the line of David, the King who is shepherding the nations to New Jerusalem .  The “Son” who is born of the “woman clothed with the sun” in Chapter 12 of Revelation is the Messiah of Israel, the one who is destined to “shepherd the nations.” Following his enthronement, heaven declares that “now is come the kingdom of God and the authority of His Christ.” And his victory over the “Dragon” results in the commencement of his reign over the “nations” from his Father’s throne.

The sacrifice and exaltation of Jesus are prominent themes in the book of  Revelation . God’s plan to redeem humanity is unveiled in its visions, and his death, resurrection, and enthronement are putting it into action. His sovereignty over the Cosmos is the result of his faithful obedience unto death.
