Scripture affirms that Christ rules with a rod of iron, indicating His sovereign authority over all creation.
Christ's sovereignty is vividly described in biblical texts that depict Him ruling with a 'rod of iron.' Revelation 19:15 illustrates this authority—'And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron.' This imagery reflects His power and the certainty of His judgment upon those who oppose Him. The uncontested rule of Christ over the hearts of believers and the impending judgment upon His enemies showcase the fullness of His sovereign reign, reinforcing that every aspect of creation falls under His divine oversight.
