The glory is all His.
Yes. Thine is the Kingdom and the power and glory,

How long is that? And ever and ever and ever and ever.
And when you get through with all of the evers, then, Amen.

That’s my King! Throughout the Scriptures…not only in many Old Testament prophecies but from His conception to His death…Jesus is spoken of as the King.

And when He returns to the earth, He will come in power and glory!
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him,
then He will sit on His glorious throne.
Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate people
one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
And He will place the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left.
Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father,
inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Matthew 25:31-34
That’s my King! Is He yours, too? I deeply yearn and endeavor to live in submission and obedience to my King so that I can be gathered with His sheep and inherit life in His Kingdom. You, too?
