"Happy Are Those Who Keep Their Integrity" to Jehovah - "THE SUPREME ONE"

The prophet Daniel saw visions that clearly showed Jehovah's supremacy over all other authorities.  Daniel first saw four huge beasts that symbolize past and present world powers- Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome and its modern-day offshoot, Anglo-America.  (Daniel 7:1-3, 17) Then Daniel saw Jehovah God siting enthroned in the heavenly court.  (Daniel7:9, 10)What that faithful prophet saw next should serve as a warning to rulers today.

Read Daniele 7:13, 14, 27. God takes all rulership away from human governments and gives it to others more deserving and more powerful.  To whom? To "someone like the Son of man," Jesus Christ, and to "the holy ones of the Supreme One," the 144,000 who will rule "forever and ever." (Daniel 7:18) Clearly, Jehovah is the Supreme One," for he alone has the authority to take such action. 

The event that Daniel saw in vision harmonizes with something he had stated earlier.  "The God of heaven," Daniel said, "removes kings and set up kings."  He also wrote that "the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of mankind and that he gives to whomever he wants." (Daniel 2:19-21; 4:17) Have there been occasions when Jehovah removed or set up rulers?  Absolutely!
