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 Resurrection
53-1205 §3
And then he took Him upon the pinnacle of the temple, and then he taken him from there upon a mountain. And here's what shocks we people. And He showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. Just think of that. In other words, He just opened up, and He saw all the kingdoms of the world: United States, Russia, Great Britain, all of them. He said, "These are mine," Satan did. Jesus knowed they was his. He said, "And I will give them to You if You'll fall down and worship me." See? But Jesus knew in th...

'Cause in the old orients, they still have the same thing. The bridegroom that's going to be married, he gives out the invitations, and furnishes the robe to everybody he's invited. Oh, how my heart spins around and around when I think it! "No man can come to me except my Father's give him an invitation first. And all the Father has given me will come to me." How was we called? Before the foundation of the world our names were put on the Lamb's book of life, to see the light, to receive the Holy Ghost, to walk in i...

And we're taught that the footsteps of the righteous is ordered of the Lord. And everything works together for good to them that love God. God just brings things around to happen that way. It's His great love to His people. Sometimes He has to take you through some dark places, but only to show you a light. And our Father works those things. And I believe that the church today, only in its condition... It's only a place that God's bringing the church that when it all breaks, what a time of rejoicing. When the redee...

He started up, taking the Old Testament saints with Him. As He went up, up, beyond the moon, on beyond the stars, on beyond the sun, the Old Testament saints followed Him. The Bible said, "He led captivity captive, give gifts unto men." I can see Him going beyond angels and Archangels plumb on into the spheres and [unclear word] coming to the sight of the New Jerusalem. I can hear the Old Testament saints, acquainted with David's prophecy said, "Lift up ye everlasting gates, and be ye lifted up and let the King of...

When He was on earth, He was a prophet, the Word. The faithful witness, the Bible calls Him a little later. A faithful witness is the prophet. He was priest. And when... He's priest now, and when He comes He'll be king. If you'll get over and read Revelation 15:3, you can see in Revelation 15:3... Let's turn over here and see if He's going to be king, if He is king when He comes. Now we're going to Revelation, the 15th chapter and the 3rd verse: And they sing a song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the...
