Daniel 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Is not this dominion what satan wanted? Yet, Jesus received it because He loved us to sacrifice all, to suffer for us. And satan was not willing.
Zechariah 14:9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
Jesus Christ is Lord over the whole earth.
Alma 5:50 Yea, thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand; yea, the Son of God cometh in his glory, in his might, majesty, power, and dominion. Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, that the Spirit saith: Behold the glory of the King of all the earth; and also the King of heaven shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men.
Out of context I don't remember ever reading these words in Alma 5. But I do appreciate the words giving praise to Jesus for His role of leadership, ownership, dominion, majesty, and power. He is the only one we can trust to use that position for the good of all of God's children.
