When Sin Shall Be Cast Out From This World, Where Will Christ Be Then?
There is a time coming when sin shall be cast out from this world.
- Wickedness shall not always flourish unpunished;
- Satan shall not always reign;
- creation shall not always groan, being burdened.
- There shall be a new heaven and a new earth,
- wherein dwells righteousness,
- and the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
- as the waters cover the sea (Romans 8:22; Acts 3:21; 2Peter 3:13; Isaiah 11:9).
- And what shall He do?
Christ Himself shall be King.
- He shall return to this earth, and make all things new.
- He shall come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory, and the kingdoms of the world shall become His.
- and the uttermost parts of the earth for His possession.
- To Him every knee shall bow,
- and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord.
- which shall not pass away,
- and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed
- (Matthew 24:30; Revelation 11:15; Psalm 2:8; Philippians 2:10-11; Daniel 7:14).
