Revelation 1:7-8 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
[8] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
The first time Jesus came to this world, He came as a Redeemer. The next time He comes, He is coming as a Ruler!
The first time He faced a Cross; the next time, He will wear a Crown.
The first time He came there was a Tomb; the next time He comes there will be a Throne.
When Jesus comes to earth the next time he will not be the butt of cruel jokes. He will not be mocked, stripped, beaten, spit upon and crucified.
He will come the next time as “the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!”
Are you ready?
The King is coming.

“The marketplace is empty, — No more traffic in the streets, — All the builders' tools are silent, — No more time to harvest wheat; — Busy housewives cease their labors, — In the courtroom no debate, — Work on earth is all suspended — As the King comes thro' the gate.
Chorus:
“O the King is coming, — O the King is coming! — I just heard the trumpet sounding, — And now His face I see; — O the King is coming, — The King is coming! — Praise God, He's coming for me!
“Happy faces line the hallways, — Those whose lives have been redeemed, — Broken homes that He has mended, — Those from prison He has freed; — Little children and the aged — Hand in hand stand all aglow, — Who were crippled, broken, ruined, — Clad in garments white as snow.
“I can hear the chariots rumble, — I can see the marching throng, — The flurry of God's trumpet — Spells the end of sin and wrong: — Regal robes are now unfolding, — Heaven's grandstand's all in place, — Heaven's choir is now assembled, — Start to sing Amazing Grace.”
