“He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth” (Psalm 72:8).
Everyone in the United States of America recognizes today’s date as inauguration day. Of course this year is not an inauguration year, but every four years, on this date, someone takes the oath of office and officially becomes the president of the United States. The last inauguration occurred on January 20, 2021, when Joseph Biden became president.
Inaugurations did not always occur on this date, but in 1933, a law was passed making this the date of the inauguration, and the first president to be sworn in on this date was Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937.
According to our verse, someday there will be a change of administration in this world, when the Lord Jesus takes His rightful place. We do not know the exact date, for by that time, you and I will be in heaven with the Lord. But after the Lord Jesus deals with this world in judgment, He will take His place as Head over all things in this world, and He will rule in righteousness. It will be a wonderful time for this world, but not as wonderful as what we will enjoy in heaven, with Christ. Our joy will be to be with and like Him, but we will also rejoice to see Him have His rightful place in this world.
