The document discusses Jesus' victory over those who reject his rule and authority. It references several passages from the Bible that speak of Jesus breaking the nations with a rod of iron and dashing them to pieces like pottery as the Father's appointed king. The document also warns kings and rulers to submit to Jesus and his authority, or face God's wrath and judgment. Overall, it asserts Jesus' certain victory over those who oppose his role as ruler and savior.

who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place
such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of
hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. 22 And let them
judge the people at all times. Every great matter
they shall bring to you, but any small matter they
shall decide themselves…”

multiply horses for himself… 17 Neither shall he
multiply wives for himself…nor shall he greatly
multiply silver and gold for himself.

book…and he shall read it all the days of his
life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God and

that is in them, 25 who by the mouth of Your servant David[b] have said:
‘ Why did the nations rage,
And the people plot vain things?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the LORD and against His Christ.’
27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and
the people of Israel, were gathered together 28to do whatever Your hand and Your
purpose determined before to be done. Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant
29
to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that
30
signs and wonders may be done through the name of… Jesus.”

with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

death. 30 But God raised Him from the dead. 32 And
we declare to you…that promise which was made
to the fathers. 33…[a]s it is also written in the
second Psalm:
‘ You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.’
