John Gill emphasizes the essential qualities of a ruler over men, highlighting the need for justice and the fear of God in leadership. He explains that rulers should treat their subjects with kindness and righteousness, reflecting God's character, and warns against tyrannical governance that degrades humanity. Gill also points to the prophetic nature of these qualities, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who embodies the perfect ruler—just, righteous, and ruling in the fear of God. He encourages believers to recognize Christ as their King and to submit to His authority, rejoicing in His just and loving rule.
