His Throne of Glory

Matthew 25:31-32

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

My study Bible labels this the final judgment but it is not. At the final judgment, the Great White Throne judgment, it is God the Father on the throne. Here it is the Son of Man. This is Jesus as He sets up His millennial kingdom.

Notice the name of His throne. It is the "throne of His glory." Jesus Christ was humiliated and spat upon by the throne of Israel. He was beaten and crucified by the throne of the Gentiles. But there is coming a time when the throne will be His and that throne will bear His own glory.

• Kings and princes
• Monarchs and sovereigns
• Presidents and Prime Ministers

have accepted that they were glorious by virtue of their rule. Many times they have mocked and made fun of Christ. More times than not they have usurped authority that belonged only to God.

It will not always be so. When the Son of Man returns it will be to claim His throne. That throne will cast glory upon only one, the Lord Jesus Christ.
