But how did "the kingdom of the world . . . become the kingdom of our Lord" Jehovah? Has not Jehovah always been King? That is true, for the Levite Asaph sang: "God is my King from long ago." And another psalmist proclaimed: "Jehovah himself has become king! . . .Your throne is firmly established from long ago; you are fro time indefinitge." (Psalm 74:12; 93:1, 2) In his wisdom, though, Jehovah has alliowed other sovereignties to live on earth. Thus he issue raised in Eden as to whether man can govern himself without God has been fully tested. man-made-rule has failed miserably. True, indeed, are the words of God's prophet: "I well know, O Jehovah, that no earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man even to direct his step." (Jeremiah 10:23) Ever since the defection of or first parents, the entire inhabited earth has been under the domination of "the original serpent," Satan. (Revelation 12:9; Luke 4:6) It is time now for a dramactic change! To vindicate his rightful position, Jehovah begins to exercise his sovereignty over the earth in a new way, through his designated Messianic Kingdom.
