Definition and Usage:
The term "regal" is not directly found in the Bible; however, it is often used to describe qualities associated with kingship, majesty, and royal authority. In a biblical context, "regal" can refer to the attributes, actions, or symbols associated with kings and their rule, as well as the divine kingship of God.

Biblical Kingship:
The concept of kingship is central to many narratives in the Bible. The Israelites' transition from a theocracy to a monarchy is a significant theme, beginning with the anointing of Saul as the first king of Israel (1 Samuel 10:1). The regal qualities expected of a king included wisdom, justice, and a heart aligned with God's will. David, described as "a man after God's own heart" (1 Samuel 13:14), exemplifies these regal qualities, despite his personal failings.

Divine Kingship:
The Bible frequently portrays God as the ultimate King, whose reign is eternal and whose authority surpasses all earthly rulers. Psalm 47:2 declares, "How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!" . This divine kingship is characterized by righteousness, justice, and mercy, setting the standard for human kingship.

Messianic Kingship:
The Old Testament contains numerous prophecies about a coming Messiah who would embody perfect regal qualities. Isaiah 9:6-7 speaks of a child born to us, "and the government will be upon His shoulders," and He will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" . Christians believe these prophecies are fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36).

Symbols of Regal Authority:
Throughout the Bible, various symbols represent regal authority. The crown is a prominent symbol, signifying honor and sovereignty. In Revelation 19:12, Jesus is depicted with "many crowns" on His head, symbolizing His supreme authority and victory. The throne is another significant symbol, representing the seat of power and judgment. Revelation 4:2 describes a throne in heaven with One seated upon it, emphasizing God's ultimate regal authority.

Regal Conduct and Responsibility:
Biblical kings were expected to lead with integrity and justice, reflecting God's own character. Proverbs 16:12 states, "Wicked behavior is detestable to kings, for a throne is established through righteousness" . The failure of kings to uphold these standards often led to national consequences, as seen in the divided kingdom after Solomon's reign.

Regal Imagery in Worship:
Regal imagery is prevalent in biblical worship, where God is praised as King. Psalm 95:3 proclaims, "For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods" . Such imagery serves to remind believers of God's majesty and the reverence due to Him.

Conclusion:
While the term "regal" itself is not explicitly used in the Bible, the concept permeates the Scriptures through the depiction of earthly and divine kingship, the messianic hope, and the symbols and responsibilities associated with royal authority.1.
