How do we know that God is sovereign over all events?

Answered in 12 sources

The Bible affirms God's sovereignty over everything through His declarations and actions, including the raising of leaders like Cyrus for His purposes.

God's sovereignty is evident in scripture, particularly in Isaiah 45:5-7, where He proclaims, 'I am the Lord, and there is none else,' indicating His unrivaled authority. God's declaration of Cyrus by name, even before his birth, exemplifies His power to control history and political affairs. The Lord's statement that He creates and controls both light and darkness underscores His dominion over all creation. This unqualified sovereignty assures believers that their lives and the unfolding of history are not subject to chance but are directed by the all-wise God for the ultimate fulfillment of His redemptive plan.
