Big Authority Shifts (12) Second Coming

When Jesus ascended into heaven, God said to him.

Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet....
Your troops will be willing on your day of battle (Psalm 110:1,3).

Jesus will sit at the right hand of God until his church has defeated his enemies and established his Kingdom. Then when the commission is complete and the Kingdom has fulfilled all prophecies, Jesus will appear to receive the victory that his church has established for him.

Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet (1 Cor 15:24,25).

God will open the spiritual realms, so that everyone can see the glory of Jesus. The church will hand authority over all human institutions back to him, and he will give it to the Father. Jesus does not return to establish a Kingdom, he returns to receive the Kingdom established by the church and the Spirit. History ends when Jesus hands all authority back to God.

The impact of this event on spiritual authority and the consequences for humans are described in Times and Seasons.
