God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Acts 17:24 NKJV
The news media (if they can be believed) tells us that more than ever Americans fear for the state of our nation if their candidate doesn’t win the election.
If that is you, I am here to encourage you: King Jesus is still on the throne! With everything that is going on around us, it may not seem like it. However, King Jesus’ Kingdom is spiritual, not physical. Hence, He is largely ignored in the world today. Popular media never mentions Him. And yet, the only reason they take their next breath is because He wills it.
No matter which candidate wins the race, God’s plans cannot be thwarted. Yes, evil continues to flourish, but not for long. In the fullness of time, God will bring all things together in Christ – things in the heavens and things on the earth (Eph. 1:10).
God announced His Kingdom with the birth of the God-man, Jesus Christ. The Kingdom is here! Since God’s Kingdom is spiritual, it is only available to the precious few who have chosen King Jesus as their Lord and Savior. That’s about to change.
The King is coming again soon. At that point, free choice ends. Every knee will bow to the King of the Universe. Every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord (Phil. 2:10-11).
King Jesus will ride in on His white horse and physically rule and reign on the earth for 1000 years (Rev. 20:14). He will expel all darkness and right all wrongs.
At the end of that millennium, there will be a new heaven and a new earth in which there is no sea of sinful humanity (Rev. 21:1). King Jesus will finally dwell with His pure and spotless bride (Rev. 21:2). We will not remember this contentious election or any other painful thing (Rev. 21:4). We will be too busy rejoicing with our King.
Praise God for King Jesus – King of the Universe. Long live the King!
