The returning Jesus Christ comes to earth with tremendous power. He returns with vengeance and wrath to destroy all enemies who oppose Him. The great Tribulation, and the Day of the Lord brings great devastation to the earth. All opposition to Jesus is crushed without question or mercy. This is how the conquering Christ wages war, but is this how He and His saints will rule? Many people misunderstand the loving ruler-ship of God because they don’t make the distinction between Jesus Christ the warrior King, and Jesus Christ the ruler. This sermon will show the difference, and focus on the compassionate, merciful and benevolent government of God.
