How do we know that Jesus is the King?

Answered in 9 sources

We know Jesus is the King because He fulfilled God's eternal purpose and was exalted to the throne after His resurrection, as indicated in Revelation 5.

The New Testament makes it clear that Jesus' kingship is not a recent development; it has existed in God's eternal purpose. Revelation 5 describes how Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, is worthy to open the scroll and is worshiped as King. His ascension is prophesied in Daniel 7, where He is given dominion and glory, and His kingdom is everlasting. Jesus’ role as King is affirmed by His fulfillment of the prophecies and His authority demonstrated through His life, death, and resurrection, confirming His position as the rightful ruler of the Kingdom of God.
