dominion, rule; sovereign authority over a realm
This masculine noun denotes royal dominion or sovereign rule. It appears in messianic prophecy (Zechariah 9:10) describing the worldwide reign of the coming king whose dominion will extend from sea to sea, and in Daniel's vision of Alexander the Great, whose vast empire would be divided after his death. The term emphasizes the geographical extent and political authority of royal power, whether the Prince of Peace or the conquering Greek king.
