When Will Jesus Be Crowned and by Who?
1) Direct Answer
Jesus will be crowned after the catching away of the saints, at the marriage supper in glory, and He will be crowned by His redeemed Bride. Then He will return with His saints and take the throne of David in the Millennium, where His Kingship is openly manifested before the nations.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- The marriage of the Lamb comes first: “Let us be glad and rejoice… for the marriage of the Lamb is come” (Revelation 19:7-9). That is where the Bride is with Him in heaven. Revelation 7:9-17 shows that redeemed multitude before the throne, and Revelation 20:4 shows the overcomers who reign with Him—this is the Bride company present to honor Him.
- The redeemed have crowns and worship before Him: the elders “cast their crowns before the throne” (Revelation 4:10-11), showing the saints yielding all honor to the One on the throne and to the Lamb (Revelation 5:8-14). That is the Bride’s act of coronation—giving Him the diadem of her love, victory, and authority.
- Then He appears as the crowned King: when He comes back, “on His head were many crowns… KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:11-16). What was recognized in heaven is then displayed to the world.
- He takes the earthly throne: “The Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever” (Luke 1:32-33). “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ” (Revelation 11:15).
- God has already exalted Him: “God also hath highly exalted Him… that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow” (Philippians 2:9-11). The Father has placed all things under Him (1 Corinthians 15:25-28), and the Bride acknowledges and crowns what God has decreed.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Now notice, He is already Lord by divine decree. But at the marriage supper the Bride—redeemed from all ages—crowns Him in worship and surrender. That is heaven’s coronation.
- Then He returns with many crowns to sit on David’s throne in the Millennium. That is earth’s recognition of the same Kingship.
4) Reinforcing Statement
You see, it’s not three Gods. The one God was manifested in Jesus Christ, and soon the Bride will crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords. Be ready for that hour.

Christ is identified the same in all generations
64-0415 §5
So we're--we're trying to get every soul saved, so that Jesus can come. And He cannot come until that last one that has the name of the Book of Life, that was put There before the foundation of the world; when that name is called, that's the last one then. He came to redeem, to bring back. Redeem is "to bring back." And when He brings the last one in... He is setting at the right hand of God, tonight, doing His mediator work. And when that last soul is saved, that was redeemed, and seen and knowed by God before the...
The Identified Christ of all ages
64-0617 §25
Then when He died, rose, ascended, and sent back the Holy Spirit, that was the Son of God. God is a spirit, and through the church age it's been Son of God. And then in the millennium it's Son of David, sitting on the throne, ruling. He has ascended up. "He that overcomes shall sit with me on my throne, as I have overcome and sit down on my Father's throne." He's sitting on the Father's throne now. But in the millennium He sits upon his own throne because He is the Son of David. Son of man, Son of God, Son of David...

Let's look at Pontius Pilate, as they drug him out one morning to sit on the judgment seat. And, to be favorable to the Jews and to the Romans, when they drug Jesus up before him, with the thorns on His head, as a crown, and His hands tied behind Him. I can imagine that great emperor, as he sat on his throne, all discouraged because he had been gotten up a little early. And with his temper all up, as he'd fling his hair back, and look into the face, and say, "There can't be much to that guy." You say, "What a horri...
That Day on Calvary

Now, I was giving you a little time to turn in your Scriptures to Matthew 27. Let's begin reading at the twenty-seventh verse of St. Matthew's gospel. Now let's listen close to the reading: Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his ... hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, H...

Well, what do you think of Christ tonight? What do you think of Him today, as a healer? What do you think of Him today, as a matchless one? I believe He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. His power... Eddie Perronet, let's ask him. He was a man who was considered... They told him he was crazy. And one day, while standing in his room, the inspiration struck him. He grabbed a pen, and God let him write the inauguration song of the coming of the Lord Jesus. He said: All hail the power of Jesus' name; Let angels...
