The Wide Arch of the Ranged Empire: Ephesians 1:15-23

  Christ the King Sunday I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason  16  I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers,  17  that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him,  18  so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may perceive what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints,  19  and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power.  20  God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,  21  far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come ....

And he came to the Ancient One     and was presented before him. 14  To him was given dominion     and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages    ...
