Coming King

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name. It is Monday morning, the 31st of October, 2022, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

“For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
He shall judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples with His truth.”

Psalm 96:13

And then we go to the last book of the Bible, Revelation 19 and I am reading from verse 11:

“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.” 

It goes on to say in verse 16:

“And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS..” 

Oh, what a day that will be! I have had the privilege of meeting two earthly kings. One, the King of the Zulus and another, the King of the Swazis. We know that there is another king in Great Britain who has just been inaugurated, in fact, just a couple of days ago, there was a coronation in South Africa with a new King of the Zulus. There is a lot of protocol involved when you meet a king. I remember being given explicit instructions on how to treat and to greet a king. The King of the Zulus, they say, “Bayete Nkosi. Wena indlovu” which means, “We greet you, oh King. You are the elephant.” Because we know, in Africa, the King of the Jungle is not the lion - it is actually the elephant... There is a lot of protocol. You never, ever turn your back on a king. You walk in, greet him very humbly and then you retreat, never turning around. But I want to speak to you today about the King of Kings - He is coming! He is the King of all the earth, the heavens, the planets and the galaxies. He is the Word!  

He is returning soon, not riding a donkey this time but riding on a war-horse, on a majestic horse. All the armies of Heaven will follow Him on white horses. Folks, we need to be ready for the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Until that day, the greatest day that the world has ever seen, we need to be prepared. Just like you prepare when you go to a wedding or a grand occasion. Prepare your heart, your mind and prepare your life because when He comes again, He is coming as the Judge and not as the Saviour. We need to be ready to welcome Him and then everything will be put right.

Until then keep your eyes fixed on the clouds because He may be coming today. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.

Goodbye.
