'Ruling' in the Bible

And after you another kingdom, lower than you, will come to power; and a third kingdom, of brass, ruling over all the earth.

And that which they said -- to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom for thee abideth, after that thou knowest that the heavens are ruling.

"After these things, as I was watching, another beast like a leopard appeared, with four bird-like wings on its back. This beast had four heads, and ruling authority was given to it.

As for the rest of the beasts, their ruling authority had already been removed, though they were permitted to go on living for a time and a season.

To him was given ruling authority, honor, and sovereignty. All peoples, nations, and language groups were serving him. His authority is eternal and will not pass away. His kingdom will not be destroyed.

But the court will convene, and his ruling authority will be removed -- destroyed and abolished forever!

And a strong king will come to power, ruling with great authority and doing whatever is his pleasure.
