voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God (1 Thessalonians

4:16). He will make war with the kings of the earth, and overcome them

(Revelation 17:14) to bring peace.

Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy moun-

tain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the L ORD

is coming, for it is at hand (Joel 2:1). He was clothed with a robe

dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And thearmies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him

on white horses (Revelation 19:13-14). And He said, Turn to Me with

all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. So rend

your heart, and not your garments (Joel 2:12-13); Come to Me, all

you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest . . . For My

yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30).

He will sit on the throne of His father (ancestor) David (Luke 1:32;

Isaiah 9:7; Jeremiah 23:5) and establish the Kingdom of God on earth

forever (Revelation 11:15). During the first 1,000 years of this reign,

Christ will inaugurate a refreshing time, a time of restoration of all

things (Acts 3:19, 21). He will be assisted by the saints resurrected asHe returns. They will become immortal children of God (1 Corinthians

15:50-53), rise to meet Him in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17) and join

Him as conqueror of earths rebellious nations and in establishing

the Kingdom of God (Revelation 5:10; 20:6), the wonderful world

tomorrow (Amos 9:13-14; Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-5).

Jesus Christ came once to bear the sins of many and, as promised,

will appear a second time (Hebrews 9:28; Acts 15:16-17; 1 Corinthians

15:23). The kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our

Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever (Revela-

tions 11:15), and the saints of the Most High shall receive the king-

dom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever (Daniel

7:18), with Him.

And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to

give to every one according to his work (Revelation 22:12). Yes, Jesus

Christ is returning. The King is coming!
