The LORD reigns forever and ever

1. The LORD reigns forever and ever The Exodus Story

2. Breaktrough - Derek Morphew • God’s rule is eternal and universal in the sense that he is, he was and he always will be the supreme ruler of all things. He rules the heavens, the angels, the planets, nature, history and all reality, yet we do not necessarily experience his rule in our lives. The coming of the kingdom involves God’s intervention in the course of human history. His power breaks into the affairs of men, confronting the forces that withstand him and imprison people, and interrupting the normal course of society.
