Will You Marry Me?Sample

The Glorious Appearing

Today, we’re going to discuss the second phase of the second coming of Christ, the “Glorious Appearing.” After Jesus marries His bride, He’ll return to earth to reign with her in the Millennial Kingdom. He’ll come back to earth as a mighty warrior and all the earth will see Him in His glory.

The Glorious Appearing will occur at the end of the horrific seven-year tribulation. Jesus will come again with a mission to set up an everlasting kingdom. The world will literally come face to face with the One they rejected. Every eye will see Him and mourn Him.

In the second phase of His return, Jesus will set up a kingdom on earth where He’ll reign with us, His bride. He’ll be the head of this new kingdom, just like a husband is the head of the home.

Jesus came to earth the first time as a lamb that was led to slaughter, but He’ll return as a lion: bold and fierce. He’ll reign in the Millennial Kingdom for 1,000 years and we’ll be with Him, ruling alongside Him.

This may sound strange, but it’s the truth of the Bible. God is the creator and He exists in an eternal realm. He knows the complete story and how it will end. He’s the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end. He set time in motion, and we’re always moving forward in His timeline until we reach the end. It’s imperative for us to understand that the clock is ticking.

Jesus has magnificent plans for us that we can’t even fathom from our limited worldly perspective. We can dream, hope, and look forward to a romantic fairytale bliss. In a world full of disappointment, we can know that in the end, we won’t be disappointed.

Every good dream will come true, every need will be met, and every heartache will be mended. The rapture, the wedding, the Glorious Appearing, the new heaven, and the new earth will all result in a place of perfect peace and unity with Jesus, our husband and king. He’ll reign on the throne in a world with no pain. He’s spelling this all out for us in His Word. 

He wants you there, and trust me—you’ll want to be there, too.
