What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in history?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all events in history, orchestrating them for His glory and the salvation of His elect.

The scriptures provide a clear depiction of God's sovereignty, illustrating that He rules the world to effectuate the salvation of His people. Isaiah 23 explicitly states that God has purposed to bring about His will, which includes the judgment upon nations like Tyre, thus staining the pride of all glory. Historical events, as outlined in biblical prophecy, confirm that God is not an observer but the active ruler who orchestrates events to fulfill His divine plan. As seen in Isaiah, there is a purpose behind historical occurrences: to demonstrate God's supremacy over all and to ensure that no man can boast before Him.
