How is it, though, that Jehovah begins to rule? Millenniums have passed since the psalmist declared: "God is my King from long ago." (Psalm 74:12) Jehovah's kingship was ancient even then, so how can the universal chorus sing that "Jehovah . . . has begun to rule as King"? In that when Babylon the Great is destroyed, Jehovah will no longer have that presumptuous rival to distract from obedience to him. When ancient Babylon fell from world dominance, Zion heard the victorious proclamation: "Your God has become King?" (Isaiah 5:27) After the Kingdom's birth in 1914, the 24 elder proclaimed: "We thankyou, O Jehovah God . . . because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king." (Revelation 11:17) Now, after the devastation of Babylon the Great, the the cry is again uttered: "Jehovah . . .has begun to rule as king No man-made god remains to contest the sovereignty of the true God, Jehovah!
