The Kingdom Consummated
Christ's Return
The King Shall Return
Description
The kingdom will be consummated when Christ returns in glory. He will gather His elect, judge the nations, destroy His enemies, and establish His eternal reign. The kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ. What is now invisible will become visible; what is now contested will be uncontested. Every knee will bow, every tongue confess. The meek shall inherit the earth, and the saints shall reign with Christ forever.
