Who is, who was, and who is to come…

 Who is, who was, and who is to come…

The Word says it all….

 John,To the seven churches in the province of Asia:Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. 

“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”and “every eye will see him,even those who pierced him”;and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”

So shall it be! Amen. “

I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” 

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

Rev.1.4-8,Rev.1.17-18

 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. 

He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 

He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. 

His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

Dan.7.13-14

 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

Zech.12.10

 My name will be great among the nations, from where the sun rises to where it sets. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty.

Mal.1.11

 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” 

He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 

After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 

“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

Acts.1.6-11

 For to us a child is born,to us a son is given,and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.

He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom,establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever.

The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

Isa.9.6-7

 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 

“Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,you may now dismiss your servant in peace. 

For my eyes have seen your salvation,     which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles,and the glory of your people Israel.”

Luke.2.28-32

Thank YOU….

Come Emmanuel….
