"Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!"
Aren't you glad that this statement above is true? It does not say, "The Lord *will* reign some day," or, "God's reign means everything goes smoothly and without a hitch." The reign of Christ--between the resurrection and the great judgment day--is a rule from the midst of a redeemed church, which finds itself in a fallen world.
Do not be too moved by wars and rumors of wars, and by international intrigue and upheaval. Over all these things is The Lord God Omnipotent.
