Ninth King: The Last of the Celestial Empires, The Triumph of Christ over the Powers

Throughout history, world empires have risen and fallen, their earthly rulers wielding power under the influence of unseen spiritual forces. In The Ninth King, theologian and philosopher Willem J. Ouweneel unveils the celestial dimensions of these empires, revealing how each was governed not only by kings and emperors but also by angelic princes-powers localized in the heavenly realms (Eph. 6:12).

Drawing from biblical prophecy and historical analysis, Ouweneel explores the succession of these celestial empires, each tied to the worship of its chief deity, and their complex relationship with the people of the God of gods. At the culmination of history stands the Ninth King-the ruler of the final world empire, whose dominion will surpass and overthrow all others, bringing about the fulfillment of God's ultimate design for mankind.

Inspired by the insights of Reformed theologian Dr. Frank de Graaff, The Ninth King provides a profound and provocative Christian interpretation of history, offering readers a fresh perspective on the spiritual forces shaping the world. A meticulous study grounded in Scripture and historical theology, this book is essential for those seeking to understand the hidden powers behind world history and the sovereign hand guiding it toward its final consummation.
