Isaiah 33:22

22For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.

Isaiah 32:1-2

1Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.

2Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shadow of a great rock in an arid land.

1 Corinthians 15:25

25For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

Psalms 110:1-7

1The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

2The LORD extends Your mighty scepter from Zion: “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

3Your people shall be willing on Your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, to You belongs the dew of Your youth.

4The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

5The Lord is at Your right hand; He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.

6He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead; He will crush the leaders far and wide.

7He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore He will lift up His head.
