Jesus, King during the Tribulation.

 

`The Lord (Father) shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies!` (Ps. 110: 2)

The Father tells His Son to begin ruling in the midst of His enemies. So, who are His enemies?

`Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.` (Ps. 2: 1 – 3)

The Gentile Rulership will come to a head exhibiting great lawlessness, against God. Jesus in His Kingship office brings judgment upon the rebellious. Great calamities strike the earth bringing famine, disease, heat, and thirst. 

There will be those who do not repent.

`But the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, … idols of gold, silver, brass, stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk, and they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. ` (Rev. 9: 20 & 21)

 

However, God`s great hand of mercy is still stretched out and many will turn to Him.

`After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,…

These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ` (Rev. 7: 9 & 14)

 

Jesus the King overcomes the Gentile beastly rule, and their armies around Jerusalem.

`And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets.`  (Zech. 14: 12)

The kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of the Lord and His Christ.

`Then the seventh angel sounded: and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever! ` (Rev. 11: 15)

In world war 2 the 2 bombs dropped on Japan caused the same thing as in Zec  14:12. just a note not saying The Lord will use one.

Question; Do you know of people/groups today that worship Idols like in Rev 9:20-21?

Yes, I agree that those bombs certainly are similar to what the Lord will do. 

I think we tend to think of `worship` as physically bowing down to those idols of gold, silver etc. However, just think of our materialistic society with its fixation on `gold, silver, ` and things they have made of `brass, stone and wood. ` Their `worship` is what they give their time, energy, focus and desire to, the motivation of the heart.
