Who are the kings of the earth, and why do they consistently oppose the Lord and His Christ? Scripture makes it clear that these rulers—both seen and unseen—are united in rebellion against God, convinced they will never be held accountable for their actions.
In this episode, Scott Mitchell and John Potts begin a biblical examination of the kings of the earth as revealed throughout Scripture. From Psalm 2 to Revelation, the Bible describes a coordinated resistance to God’s authority involving earthly rulers, spiritual powers, and ancient false gods that demanded allegiance and sacrifice.
The discussion traces the meaning of “king” in Scripture, connecting ancient figures such as Molech and Milcom to the broader biblical pattern of dominion, idolatry, and spiritual rebellion. The hosts also examine how pride, deception, and the pursuit of power define these kings, culminating in their final confrontation with Jesus Christ.
While Scripture delivers a firm warning of coming judgment, it also extends a final call to repentance. Even the kings of the earth are not beyond redemption—yet their time is short.
