Prophecy of the Messiah’s Rule From Jerusalem
Upon the return of Jesus for His church at the Rapture, He will reward all of His servants who have served Him while He has been gone, including the Jews who did receive Him as the Messiah. Jesus said that having received the kingdom, He brought these servants before Him to give an account of what they had done while He was gone.
Jesus received the kingdom upon His death and resurrection. He describes this kingdom just before He goes to the cross to die for us and then be raised on the third day:
Luke 22:28-30 But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials. 29 And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, 30 that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
The Lord will establish the kingdom that He received from the Father when He returns to the earth the second time, with His church. This will occur at the end of the seven-year Tribulation (Revelation 19). We see an indication of the kingdoms of this world finally becoming the kingdom of the Messiah, in Revelation chapter 11.
Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
Based on the faithful service that each servant gave to the Lord before He returned to take His church out of the world at the Rapture, He will judge our works for Him and grant rulership over a certain cities during His one thousand-year reign on the earth:
