he will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery — just as I also have received authority from my Father.
In context
25Only hold fast to what you have until I come. 26To the one who conquers and keeps my works to the end, I will give authority over the nations — 27he will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery — just as I also have received authority from my Father. 28And I will give him the morning star. 29Let anyone who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.”
