The Announcement of the King


The Announcement of the King
Rev. 11:15

            Jesus taught His disciples to pray, "Thy kingdom Come."  Here in our text the annojuncement is made that His kingdom has indeed come.  This is not talking about the time we are in right now meaning His kingdom is spiritual.  His kingdom is now spiritual, but He is here talking about a literal physical kingdom.  That time is following the Great Tribulation.  The King is about to be enthroned.
            Satan offered him these kingdoms when He was here, Matt. 4:8-11.  He would not receive them from Satan.  God gave them to Him, Ps. 2:8, 9.  He must subdue the nations, Ps. 2:1-5; Rev. 11:18.  He will return victoriously, Rev. 19:11-16.
            When He returns He will sit as Judge.  The saints will have already been judged in Heaven, 1 Cor. 3:12-15.  He will judge the nations, Matt. 25:31-34; Rev. 11:18, 19.  Corrupters of the earth will be destroyed, :18.  This writer believes we should still pray, "Thy kingdom come.", and he believes the time is very near.
