He Will Reign

 Ezekiel 29-32; Revelations 11 

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever…The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants…”

Revelation 11:15, 18

The age of grace and mercy will not last forever. The kingdom of this world will not endure. The anger of the nations against the Lord of heaven and earth will culminate in God’s final judgment of rebellion, pride, and the rejection of his Son. The Lord Jesus Christ will reign. The time will come to avenge all wrongs and to judge the living and the dead. The time will come to reward the servants of God who live for his glory now. For now we are resistance fighters behind enemy lines. We resist the world, the flesh, and the devil, and all that wars against the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. One day he will return and the victory will be fully realized. The victory on the cross over sin and death has set the course of history. The time will come when this victory will be fully expressed and every knee will bow.

“Lord Jesus, you are my King. Come quickly Lord Jesus, come quickly.”
