“Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate.” The first coming of God’s dear Son was “in the fullness of the time.” And so it will be when He appears a second time. We are told it will be “in his times…” And what will He show us at this appearing? That Jesus Christ is the “only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.”
Someday Jesus Christ is going to show this old world who is really boss. All will be under His absolute, sovereign rule. Now there is only a small remnant of us who willingly submit; but then “every knee shall bow.” Yes, the time is drawing nigh that all of the earth’s kings and lords, along with their subjects, will be under Christ’s rule and authority, paying Him the homage due His blessed and holy name.
Sooner or later all will bow to His sovereignty. This being the case, the sooner is the better.
