Jesus the Lord over the Tribulation.

When the Body of Christ is complete Jesus takes it to His own throne in glory.  There He is enthroned with His Body as the King High priest with His people as Kingpriests.  Jesus receives all the glory, honour and power for He alone is worthy.

The Father then gives Jesus the scroll, the legal document of His will to be carried out. Thus, in His office of Lordship, Jesus steps forward and takes the scroll. Only He who is the `Lion and Lamb,` is able to execute the righteous judgments required.

Opening the scroll, the Lord reveals what He will soon bring judgments upon and who will be saved. The four great Federations that combine to be the final Gentile Global Government are seen as men on horses being herded to judgment. The martyrs, 144,000, and great multitude are protected by the Lord, however, all who are at His coming to earth will face His pronouncement of `one taken in judgment or one left to go into the millennium. `

Throughout the tribulation the Body of Christ worships God and proclaims –

`…We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was and who is to come, because you have taken your great power and reigned.` (Rev. 11: 16 & 17)

Finally, the kingdoms of the world become the Lord`s.

`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)

The reaping of the world`s harvest begins; those to life and those to death.

`For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment also…` (John 5: 26 & 27)

Jesus Himself declares He is the `Lord of the Harvest, ` (Matt. 9: 38)

He is seen as an angel reaping of the earth`s harvest of souls.

`So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.` (Rev. 14: 16)

Those who overcome the `beast` sing the song of Moses –

`…Great and marvellous are your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations, who shall not fear you, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before you, for your judgments have been manifest. ` (Rev. 15: 3 – 4)
