I would like to continue on Revelation which I have been finding more and more helpful in my daily quest to learn more and more of the treasures of the Bible.
May I share with you??

The King of Kings
Revelation 19:11-16

In today's passage from Revelation 19, we see Jesus exalted as the King of Kings.

He is shown returning to earth to rescue His people, judge the wicked, and set up His kingdom.

As heaven opens, Christ rides out on a white horse in power and great glory. This appearance is nothing like His quiet arrival in Bethlehem as a helpless baby. This time, "every eye will see Him" (Rev. 1:7), as He comes to bring inescapable judgment.

The exalted King is not coming alone. The armies of heaven—who are clothed in the white linen of the bride of Christ (vv. 7-8)—are following Him on white horses.

If you are a Christian, you will be in this army of saints and angels. This describes the fulfillment of the promise that says believers are going to rule and reign with Him (Rev. 5:10).

One day, Jesus will literally reign on this earth as King.

But even before that time, He comes to rule in the heart of every believer.

Sometimes Christians try to keep Him in the role of Savior, but salvation is just the beginning of all the blessings that the Lord has in store for us. Only in submission and obedience to Christ's authority will we be transformed into His image and live a life worthy of His rewards (22:12).

In all practicality, who is the king of your life?

Who guides your decisions and directs your path? The Creator has a plan and purpose for you, which can be discovered only by living under Christ's authority.

May His kingdom come, and His will be done on earth and in your heart.

That's beautiful, Joyce.  Thank you!  He is even now King of Kings and Lord of lords, but, indeed, one day we shall rule and reign with Him here!  Oh what a day that will be!
