Re: Psalms 2 and 22 and the conversion of the whole world

It seems to me that we have to make a distinction between the idea that the creator God is sovereign over all nations and the idea that all nations, all peoples, will one day be brought into the ‘kingdom of God’.

What, then, does it mean to say that God is sovereign over all nations?

I would like to see you flesh that distinction out a bit more. It seems there would be a lot of overlap between sovereignty and kingdom, as both symbolize a process of governing some territory and people.

Secondly: Why even use the 13-14th century term "sovereign" to describe God’s relationship to the world’s nations?
