“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will 

sit on the throne of His glory.” (Matthew 25:31, NKJV)

Rev Dale Lee

As Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives his disciples came to him privately and asked about the signs of his coming and the end of the age.  Jesus gives an extended revelation in answer and includes a remarkably detailed account of His return to Israel from heaven in glory accompanied by all the holy angels.  At His second coming there awaits Him a throne of glory in Jerusalem.  The first time He experienced rejection and the cross.  The second time He will be received by His own people and be crowned with eternal glory.  As we have written before, Dr. George Ladd (1911-1982) has written some remarkable words regarding God’s plan for this world and for the Son of Man: “God will not permit Satan to exercise his power in human history forever.  Man will not destroy himself from the face of the earth, nor will this planet become a cold, lifeless star.  The day is surely coming when the knowledge of God shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea, when peace and righteousness shall prevail instead of war and evil.  The day is surely coming when God will take the reins of government into His hands and the kingdom of God will come on earth and His will be done even as it is in heaven.  This glorious destiny for man will be achieved only by the personal, visible, glorious return of Christ.  He is destined to be Lord of Lords and King of kings…At the center of redemption past is Christ on the cross; at the center of redemption future is Christ returning in glory.”  Dr. Ladd continues: “While Antichrist will prevail temporarily, his reign will be short.  Christ will return personally and visibly in power and glory to inflict punishment upon Antichrist along with those who have worshipped him, to deliver His people from the midst of tribulation, and to establish His millennial kingdom upon the earth.”  Jesus knew exactly what He was predicting.  He was not crazy.  He did not lie.  Believe Him.
