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.

"The trumpet of God shall sound; the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain." Did you notice the order of the resurrection? "... shall be caught up together with them." We meet each other before we meet Him. "... be caught up together to meet them ... with them, to meet the Lord in the air. See, He's God, and then when He wants to be worshipped, that's what his very nature is, is to be worshipped, because He's God. And He knows if we were there, be looking out of the corner of your eye...

Then I seen myself. I seen my Lord Jesus standing there, with a crown of thorns on His head, and the tears running down, mixed up with blood, as it washed off of His beard. And I seen my sins coming before Him, and every time they'd come before Him like that... [Gap in the audio.] ... till He was shaking. The thorns would stick in His brow, more. He'd stagger back. He'd say, "Father, forgive him; he don't know what he's doing." And again I would do something, and then His blood was like the bumper on the car, prote...

Now, there you are, to the question a while ago. See? At the judgment seat. Jesus, the church, the bride, was raptured, went up into glory, and was up there and was married, returned back to the earth, and lived a thousand years. At the end of the thousand years Satan was loosed out of his prison, is bound by an angel with a chain, not a log chain, but a chain of circumstance; all of his subjects was in hell. All that was resurrected on the earth was redeemed and Jesus with them. He couldn't work on nothing; but at...

That's the reason that woman cried, "Thou Son of David." And David is the... Son of David---God swore by him, to David that He would raise up his Son that would take his throne, and it would be an everlasting throne, see. It would have no end. Solomon give it in a type in the temple. And Jesus just told them here, that there won't be a rock left on one of them. But He's trying to tell them here what? He's coming back. "When are you coming back?" "These things will take place before I come back." And here they are!...
