We know from God`s word that the Lord Jesus Christ is now seated at the right hand of the Father in the highest, far above all in this age and the one to come.
Christ...`when He had by Himself purged our sins sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.` (Heb. 1: 3)
`God (the Father)...seated Him (Christ) at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.` (Eph. 1: 20 & 21)
We also know that one day He will go from that throne to His own throne.
`To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my father on His throne.` (Rev. 3: 21)
Now we need to note that the word `throne,` means authority, and not a chair or piece of furniture in the heavens. Thus we see that God the Father has ultimate authority and that one day He will give His Son, the glorified Lord Jesus, specific authority.
David in the Psalms tells us by the Holy Spirit that God the Father has His Son sit at His right hand while He (the Father) makes His enemies His footstool. Then He tells His Son to `rule in the midst of your enemies!` (Ps. 110: 1 & 2)
So we realise that the Father is going to give His Son the rulership to execute the judgments upon the rebellious nations.
`God the Father has....given Him (the Son) authority to execute judgment.` (John 5: 27)
When will all this happen? God tells us in Psalm 2 that He has appointed His Son on Mount Zion (the heavenly MT. Zion) as king, who will receive the nations as His inheritance and rule over them with a rod of iron.
`God the Father to the Son.....I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter`s vessel.` (Ps. 2: 8 & 9)
Thus I believe, that God the Father will appoint His Son as King on Mount Zion in the heavens and from there rule over the nations in the tribulation bringing judgments upon them.
There is much to discuss with this topic, so I hope we can all share from God`s word to come to know more of our great saviour`s supreme authority over all.
