The King Of The King Of Kings

by Wayne Blank

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war [see The Prince of Peace]. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a Name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His Name is called The Word of God [see The Logos]. And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a Name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords." (Revelation 19:11-16 KJV)

"then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him."

Jesus Christ is coming back to rule. His first coming was a matter of Him being subject to the world. His second coming will mark a new age in which the world will be subject to Him. Jesus Christ will be an absolute King, not, for example, a mere President or Prime Minister who is chosen by, and subject to, other people. Presidents and Prime Ministers don't rule, they are merely given the task of obeying the will of those they govern (that applies even to dictators who require at least the support of their army to stay in office). King Jesus, the Christ, will be subject to the will of no man (see The Coming World Dictator), but He too will have a King. As the Messiah himself plainly stated, the Son of God is not equal to God.

The Kingdom Of God Is Coming

"I go unto the Father: for My Father is greater than I" (John 14:28 KJV)

The entire purpose of the Christ's coming is to prepare the way for God's coming, "then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him."

"Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."
"For He hath put all things under His feet. But when He saith all things are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted, which did put all things under Him. And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all." (1 Corinthians 15:24-28 KJV)

The coming of God will be the defining event of the Kingdom of God.

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And He that sat upon the Throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful." (Revelation 21:1-5 KJV)
