The Judge is Coming

The Judge is Coming

“7 (Look! He is returning with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes on the earth will mourn because of him. This will certainly come to pass! Amen.) 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God – the one who is, and who was, and who is still to come – the All-Powerful!” Revelation 1:7-8 NET2.

I once heard a sermon entitled, "The Judge is Coming!!” And He is coming just as John heard from the Risen Christ, “I am the Alpha and Omega” says the Lord God—the one who is, and who was, and who is still to come—the All-Powerful!” (v8,) and from verse 7, “Look! He is returning with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all the tribes on earth will mourn because of Him. This will certainly come to pass! Amen.)

What we know is that He first came as a baby, lived a sinless life, was crucified in order to redeem the world of sin, and arose from the grave to ‘seal the deal,’ so to speak. He will soon return for His Bride, but then will finally return to be the Judge of the world He came to save. There is nothing here to claim as difficult. Not too many years ago there was a common phrase that looked something like this, “The Bible said it, I believe it, and that settles it.” I cannot say for certain, but I can ask, “Are there fewer people today that have heard that statement and believe the same?”

John said of Jesus, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God. The Word was with God in the beginning. All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created.” John 1:1-3.

Jesus is Lord!!
