• John 18:33-38
    Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” Pilate therefore said to Him, 'Are You a king then?' Jesus answered, 'You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.' Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.
     
  • Colossians 1:13
    He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
     
  • Revelation 11:15-18
    Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!' And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying:
    ' We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
    The One who is and who was and who is to come,
    Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.
    The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,
    And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
    And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
    And those who fear Your name, small and great,
    And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
     
  • Revelation 19:11-16
    Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
    KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
     
  • Psalm 45:1-17
    To the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Lilies.' A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love. My heart is overflowing with a good theme;
    I recite my composition concerning the King;
    My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. You are fairer than the sons of men;
    Grace is poured upon Your lips;
    Therefore God has blessed You forever.
    Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One,
    With Your glory and Your majesty.
    And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness;
    And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.
    Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies;
    The peoples fall under You. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
    A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
    You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
    Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
    With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.
    All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,
    Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.
    Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women;
    At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. Listen, O daughter,
    Consider and incline your ear;
    Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;
    So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
    Because He is your Lord, worship Him.
    And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
    The rich among the people will seek your favor. The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace;
    Her clothing is woven with gold.
    She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors;
    The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.
    With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;
    They shall enter the King’s palace. Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons,
    Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.
    I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;
    Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
     
  • Psalm 47:1-4
    Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
    Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
    For the LORD Most High is awesome;
    He is a great King over all the earth.
    He will subdue the peoples under us,
    And the nations under our feet.
    He will choose our inheritance for us,
    The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah
     
  • Psalm 93:1-2
    The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
    The LORD is clothed,
    He has girded Himself with strength.
    Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved.
    Your throne is established from of old;
    You are from everlasting.
