Who Is The King of Glory?

The Lord of Heaven's Armies

Being reminded of Psalm 24, I wondered what the Lord had in mind that I could share on this blog.  It seems He wants people everywhere to recognize who He REALLY Is.  He's not simply another King.  We have enough of those.  Nor is He a President or Leader like any earthly leader.  He is truly King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

We don't get to see Him riding around on a white horse, but we do get to see what He is capable of.  He has created pretty much everything except the things Satan stole through not just his own rebellion, but also the disobedience of Adam and Eve.

Satan wasn't lying when he offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and their glory if only He would bow down and worship him.  However, Jesus answered him simply, "Scriptures say, 'You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.'"

The Bible teaches us that we don't have to fear the future because He is Savior.  That doesn't mean we won't die, but once we make the CHOICE to believe and serve Him, He will be there to help us in this present world, but also will be standing beside His Father God to welcome us into the Kingdom of God.  It's life insurance....life forevermore!

We are living in a time that Believer's have been hoping and watching for ever since the changing of calendars based on the death and resurrection of Christ.  The difference is that now time is nearing the beginning of the End as we know it.  There is hope for those who do believe in Jesus as Savior, but many who fool themselves into thinking He isn't "the only" God or He isn't God at all are in for several shocks. 

The first is that there will be a "catching away" of saints (not meaning they were perfect) but identified as followers of Jesus.  Then the time known as The Tribulation begins.  Look what it says in the book of Revelation.  It will be the most horrible time ever.....even worse than when the earth was destroyed by "water" and only a few escaped upon Noah's Ark.

The Bible explains that those who have already died in Christ (knowing Him as their Savior) will rise first, but then the rest of the Believers will rise up to meet Him in the air.  Yes, cars will crash, boats will sink, businesses will find themselves without "help" and so on.  It is called Tribulation for a reason.

The only way to escape this horrendous occurrence is have asked Jesus to save you by changing your mind about your lack of acceptance of Him as your Lord and King.  Repent (change your mind) about your lifestyle and live a life of purity and hope and trust in the One and Only God.  He will do much more for you than you can think or imagine.  He isn't looking for "our" perfection; He wants us to look at His Son's perfection covering us.

We must be watching for this wonderful day of "Rapture"!  Look Up, for your Redemption draws  near! Jesus said, "there will be strange signs in the sun, moon and stars.  And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by roaring seas and strange tides.  People will be shaken at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken."

Jesus tells His disciples (hoping you are one) "Watch out (be watching!!!)  Don't let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life.  Don't let that day catch you unaware, like a trap for that day will come upon everyone living on the earth.  Keep alert at all times.  And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.
