Our Lord came to earth nearly 2000 years ago, “God ... manifest in the flesh,” and offered Himself to His people Israel as their King. But “He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.” To them, then, “He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.” But the day is fast coming, after the true church has been taken home to glory and then after the tribulation period, “the time of Jacob’s trouble,” has run its course, that the believing remnant of Israel “shall see the King in His beauty” as He returns to earth in power and glory. But we who know Him now and have been “redeemed ... with the precious blood of Christ,” “shall see the King in His beauty.” “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.” Blessed prospect indeed, that “they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads.” “For how great is His goodness, and how great is His beauty,” “which in His times He shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.”
He’s “King of kings, and Lord of lords”;
We’ll “meet the Lord in the air”;
Into the Father’s house we’ll go
”With the Lord” forever there.
