Since the day man sinned in the Garden of Eden, the whole of history has been moving toward one tremendous event.

That event is the day when Jesus Christ returns to this world in power and glory to reign on the throne of David,* Isa.

9:7; Luke 1:32*.When Jesus was here on the earth, He made many promises to His followers, but perhaps none is so great as His promise that He will indeed return to this earth one day, *Matt.

24:27-30*.

In fact, the last recorded words of the Lord Jesus in the Bible are these, *"Surely I come quickly.",

*Rev.

22:20*!The fact of the matter is, Jesus is coming again!

We have already seen that He will return in the Rapture to claim His people and take them to Heaven, *John 14:1-3; 1 Cor.

15:51-52; 1 Thes.

4:13-17*.

However, just as every coin in your pocket has two parts, so does the return of Jesus.

The first part is when He returns in the clouds to receive His bride and the second part is when He returns in glory to defeat His enemies and to reign upon the earth.

It is this event that we want to focus on this morning.Many famous men have left us their legacy in their words.

For instance, Nixon said, "*I am not a crook.*"

But, he was!

Bush said, "*Read my lips, no new taxes!*"

But, there were!

Clinton said, "*I didn't have sexual relations with that women.*"

But, he did!

The point?

Most men's words are just that: Words!

However, the words of Christ are truth!

Everything He has ever said is true.

And, when He tells us that He is coming again, you had better believe it!I want you to know this morning that *The King Is Coming*!

He is returning to this earth some glorious day to reign in peace and glory upon this earth.

You need to be sure that you are ready to meet Him when He comes the first time so that you can come back with Him when He returns the second time!

Let's spend some time together in these verse as we think on the thought: *The King Is Coming*!I.

V. 11-16 *HIS COMING WILL BE VISIBLE*(Ill.

When the rapture takes place, it will be so sudden and so swift that people will not even know what has taken place.

Like a thief in the night, Jesus will come and steal away His jewels from the earth and will take them to Heaven.

The rapture will not be a visible event.

However, when Jesus returns the second time in glory and power, everyone, everywhere will know about it, *Rev.

1:7*.

Look at what these first verse tell us about this visible event.){{{"

A. V. 11-13, 16 *The Appearance Of Jesus* (Ill.

These precious verses tell us something of what Jesus will look like when He returns to the earth the second time.

Notice what the Bible says about The Appearance Of Jesus.){{{"

1. V. 11-12 *His Nature* - From this description, it is clear to see that Jesus is a little different than He was the first time He came!{{{"

A. V. 12 *He Is Full Of Glory* - This verse tells us that Jesus Christ wears on His head many crowns.

These are not crowns like the Anti-Christ wore!

In *Rev.

6:2*, we are told that he was "given" "a" crown.

The word used there refers to a victors crown, a "*stephanos*".

Very literally, it has reference to the olive leaf crowns that were given to the victors in the Greek Olympic games.On the other hand, Jesus wear many crowns.

This word is "*diadems*" and refers to the crowns of royalty.

While Anti-Christ had to be given a crown, Jesus already wears them!(Ill.

Jesus is already King of Kings whether men acknowledge that fact or not!

People can pretend that Jesus isn't Lord, but one day, His sovereignty will be revealed with great power and glory!)This verse also says that "*His eyes were as a flame of fire*."

This speaks of His holiness!

When He returns the second time, He come not as a meek and lowly Lamb, but He returns as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

He returns not in humility, but in power, authority and glory!(Ill.

What a difference there is between the Jesus of the first advent and the Jesus of the second advent.

The first time, He came as a servant, *Phil.

2:5-8*.

The first time, He came, He was despised and rejected of men.

He was a man of sorrows.

He appeared to be nothing more than one more man among millions of other men, *Isa.

53:2-3*.

The first time He came, no one but a handful of common people even took note of Him.

The first time He came, those who hated Him without a cause saw to it that He was put to death!However, things are different this time around!

Now, He doesn't appear as a servant, but as a King!

Now He hasn't some to suffer, but to render judgment.

Now, He has not come to die, but He has come to visit death upon all those who have defied Him and despised Him!

He has returned in power and glory!)(Ill.

What a glorious Savior we serve this morning!

God help us to see His as He is and worship Him accordingly!

By the way, there are some in this room who need to receive Jesus as their Savior!

You have the choice today to meet Him as Savior.

There is coming a day when you will be forced to acknowledge Him as King.

Today is a day of mercy, that will be a day of wrath!

Which do you want?)B.

V. 11 *He Is Faithful And True* - I am sure for many that it looked like Jesus would never return, but He is *Faithful and True*!

He can be depended on to keep His Word forever!

What He says He will do, He will do!(Ill.

That Anti-Christ, like all other world leaders rose to power riding the back of lies and false statements.

However, when Jesus appears, there are no attempts to prove that He is Who He claims to be.

He shows up as a King and the world now knows it is true!)(Ill.

Just a word to the saints: Friend's always remember that you can trust Jesus!

He will always Keep His Word.

If He has made you a promise, claim it with the knowledge that He will surely bring it to pass!

Just keep trusting Him, He is Faithful and True!)C.

V. 11 *He Fights In Righteousness* - All down through history, there have been wars.

Many have been fought for foolish reasons.

In fact, all wars boil down to one thing: sin!

They all come from the fact that men want to be God.

They try to place themselves in a position where they will be in total charge of the world.

When they do this, other men stand up and say, "No, you will not reign over us!" And, a war is the result.(Ill.

Jesus, on the other hand, wages righteous war!

His cause is a just cause!

He fights the battle of the Lord!

We may like to think of Jesus as a Man of peace, and He is the Prince of Peace!

However, the Bible also makes it clear that He is a Man of War, *Ex.

15:3*!

Certainly, God will pursue peace, but if man will not repent, there will come a day when that man must do battle with the Lord.

He will not allow unrighteousness and sin to go unchallenged!

He will make war with the enemies of God!)}}}

2. V. 12-13, 16 *His Names* - When the Lord Jesus returns, three new names are attached to Him.

These names reveal much about His character and Person.{{{"

A. V. 12 *The Name Of Mystery* - The Bible tells us that Jesus has a name written on Him that no man can know.

It seems that refused to know the Name of Jesus except as a by-word, now they cannot know Him at all!(Friend, the time to know Jesus is now!

He is revealing Himself to men as the Savior of the sinner's soul.

However, there is coming a day when men will not be able to know Him as Savior, but only as Judge!
