““He is the King of kings; He is the Lord of lords and His dominion is over the whole world. It is of Him the prophet said, ‘and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace––and the government shall be upon His shoulder.’ The earth and the heavens are God’s house, for He has made them, and the center in His house is Christ, who must be worshiped before all.
