"The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.'"
(Revelation 11:15)
Jesus has already begun His kingdom reign, in us, His willing subjects.
As He reigns in our hearts, the rest of creation is groaning in eagerness and longing as we await the return of our Righteous King to His throne He was ordained to rule from since before earthly time began.
His reign will cover the whole cosmos and all His subjects will be the willing, loving, redeemed and rescued ones He brought into His eternal family.
We spend a lot of time analyzing and investigating visible signs of His coming, but maybe we should have our ears tuned to hear that trumpet!
Matthew 24:29-31 tells us how we will all be gathered from all over the earth to join His reigning kingdom.
And in the Old Testament book of Daniel we read how the prophet Daniel explained and predicted that coming kingdom to Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon: centuries earlier:
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed..it shall stand forever....
(Daniel 2:44-45)
