23 God Reigns in the Kingdom
Chorus
God reigns in the kingdom,
God reigns in the universe.
He is the King of the kingdom,
He is the Head of the universe.
Verse 1
From this time onward, God will assemble
all of those who are not chosen.
From this time onward, God will begin
to work among the Gentiles.
From this time onward, He will announce
His administrative decrees
to the whole universe, so that He may do
the next step of His work successfully.
Verse 2
From this time onward, God will use chastisement
to spread His work among the Gentiles.
From this time onward, He will use force,
He will use force against all Gentiles.
From this time onward, He’ll do this while He works,
while He works among the chosen ones.
When God’s people wield power,
all on earth will have been conquered,
God will rest, and appear to the conquered ones.
Chorus
God reigns in the kingdom,
God reigns in the universe.
He is the King of the kingdom,
He is the Head of the universe.
Bridge
God appears in the holy kingdom
and hides Himself from the land of filth.
All those who’re conquered and obey God
are able to see His face.
It is with their very own eyes they see,
and His voice they hear with their ears.
This is the blessing predestined by God
for those who were born in the last days.
Chorus
God reigns in the kingdom,
God reigns in the universe.
He is the King of the kingdom,
He is the Head of the universe.
Verse 3
When God opens the scroll, that will be the day
when all the people will be chastised.
When God opens the scroll, people all over the world
will be subjected to His trials.
When God opens the scroll, God’s work will reach its climax.
All people will live in a land without light;
amid the threat of their environment,
all the people will live their lives.
Chorus
God reigns in the kingdom,
God reigns in the universe.
He is the King of the kingdom,
He is the Head of the universe.
Outro
Because God’s day draws near, right before man’s eyes,
who could not be fearful?
And who could not be delighted in this?
It’s finally come to an end, the filthy city of Babylon.
Man has met with a brand-new world.
All are renewed, the heavens and earth.
