Daniel 7:13-14
(13) “I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. (14) Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom that which will not be destroyed.

Psalms 93:1-2,5
(1) Yahweh reigns! He is clothed with majesty! Yahweh is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved. (2) Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting. (5) Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, Yahweh, forever more.

Revelation 1:5-8
(5) and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood; (6) and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (7) Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen. (8) “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

John 18:33-37
(33) Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” (34) Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?” (35) Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?” (36) Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.” (37) Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
