Christ's Reign and Enthronement

                                

"The hard, objective reality of the enthronement and reign of the Lord Jesus Christ from the heavenly place to which He has been exalted by the Father is a cardinal assertion and doctrine of holy Scripture. He, from the perspective of the present, is not going to be coronated and enter upon His rule; He has already been made "both Lord and Christ," having assumed that dominion (Acts 2:36). This is everywhere the representation and insistence of the living Oracles when rightly divided and related to time. The proclamation of Messiah’s reign as a present fact was made on the first Pentecost following His resurrection and ascension to Heaven. That reign, it is stressed by Prophets and Apostles, will continue until all the objectives of the mediatorial kingdom have been accomplished (Acts 3:19-26; I Cor. 15:24-28). Pending that certain and glad eventuation, “all authority in heaven and on earth" is vested in Him (Matt. 28:18, RSV), the Father only, who is the Source of the investment, being excepted." --Fred O. Blakely

"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ" (Acts 2:36).

"So wisse nun das ganze Haus Israel gewiß, daß Gott diesen Jesus, den ihr gekreuzigt habt, zu einem HERRN und Christus gemacht hat."

"Итак твердо знай, весь дом Израилев, что Бог соделал Господом и Христом Сего Иисуса, Которого вы распяли."  

"Que toute la maison d'Israël sache donc avec certitude que Dieu a fait Seigneur et Christ ce Jésus que vous avez crucifié."

"Så skal da hele Israels hus vite for visst at Gud har gjort ham både til Herre og til Messias, denne Jesus som I korsfestet."

"Niechajże tedy wie zapewne wszystek dom Izraelski, że go Bóg i Panem, i Chrystusem uczynił, tego Jezusa, któregoście wy ukrzyżowali."
