“There is one political maxim which comforts me. ‘The Lord reigns!’” — John Newton
Christ is King and the increase of His government will know no end.
Isaiah 9:7
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Emmanuel is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty and He will remain sitting there until every last one of His enemies has been added to His footstool, save death. At that point, He will stand up and return to look death in the face before putting an end to it forever. Jesus tasted death for us all and He will one day vanquish death once and for all. Jesus escaped the clutches of death when He rose from the dead on the third day. He will provide the death blow to the grave on that final day. Until then, death is on death row awaiting its sentence and Christ is crowned in Heaven as He will be on earth.
God with us is God for us.
