What is going on with the return of the Christ, and the apocalypse. It all centres on what the Christ actually is: God’s answer to rebellion. The nations of the world have a bad attitude towards God. It goes back to ancient history, but it is especially part of modern times and the very near future. From world leaders right down to community leaders, there is a determination to negate the authority of God and His anointed one, the Christ. God sets apart His anointed one, His Christ, who God applauds as His Son, not only anointing him as king over all, but making him the example to counter rebelliousness, to shame and then judge the rebellious. It reaches a peak in the near future when the ultimate nightmare of rebellion by leaders and people worldwide needs to be highlighted as evil by the righteousness of the words and justice of the Christ. This is to be followed by God fulfilling a promise to put all the nations under the feet of the Christ, His Son. As Father to the Christ, God will give him victorious sway over all, quelling all rebellion, bringing all into obedience. Then, when all things are put under his iron rule, finally the Christ will subject himself, and all under him, to the Father, so that the Father is truly God all in all. Forever. Then the Father on His eternal throne will share that throne with the Son, forever. This is some of what we find in Psalm 2, 1 Corinthians 15, and Revelation, about what this Christ really is, hoping it is clear to many that this anointed one is Jesus alive forever from the dead, master of his believing followers, soon to start his kingdom ruling the whole globe, and hoping you might understand these and further revelations about this Christ in these passages, and in other passages on which they shed their light. Christ died for you.
