The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Right Hand of God, continued
On the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. (II Thessalonians 1:10—NIV)
God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. (Hebrews 11:40—NIV)
All of God's heroes of faith will come to perfection as a body, and then will appear with Christ.
Again, "When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." Why will we appear with Christ in glory? Because we are the Body of Christ, the fullness of the Servant of the Lord who will bring justice to the nations.
The current teaching is that Christ will return to catch up His Church and bring it to Heaven. This is unscriptural. Christ will return with His brothers, the rulers of the world to come, and establish the Kingdom of God on the earth. This will be done with violence, as we notice from several verses in both the Old Testament and the New.
At the sight of them, nations are in anguish; every face turns pale. (Joel 2:6—NIV)
Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things, says the LORD Almighty. (Malachi 4:3—NIV)
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him." (Jude 1:14,15—NIV)
The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. (Revelation 19:14,15—NIV)
The above describes the coming of the King followed by His brothers, the lesser kings. He is King of these kings and they are coming as the morning of the Day of the Lord to destroy all wickedness from the earth. They are God's judges, the saints who dwell at the right hand of the Mighty One.
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:16—NIV)
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. (Revelation 16:12—NIV)
We have established thus far that God by grace has raised us to His right hand in Christ and that this is the realm of supreme authority. When the great King, the Lord Jesus Christ, appears to the world, His lesser kings will appear with Him and assist in the establishing of the Kingdom of God on the earth.
We have spoken also that our position and role were determined before the beginning of the world and are activated when we choose to die with Christ and be raised with Christ.
To be continued.
