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.

When Moses began his ministry in Israel with great signs you see, Israel quickly gathered from all over Egypt to Goshen, coming back to the home place, because they knowed something was fixing to happen. Oh, what a type! Oh, they come from the East and West, They come from the lands afar;" (That is right, you've heard the song.) To feast with the King, to dine as His guest, How blessed these pilgrims are! Beholding His hallowed face, Aglow with love divine; Blest partakers of His grace, As gems in His crown to shin...

I can see my shoulders stooping, my arms, where there used to be muscles, are getting fat and, oh, I'm... See, I'm dying. I don't know how long it'll be before He will call me. But I've got eternal life in here, because He died for me, that He might redeem this that I've offered to Him. Some glorious day He's coming. I believe it with all my heart. I'll stay at the battlefield by His grace. I'll preach, pray for the sick until death shall set me free, and then go home, a crown to wear. For He paid for it, gave it f...

Not long ago, a brother that used to be with me and managed my campaigns, Brother Baxter (he's preached right here in Chicago to you many times), he was speaking that when the late King George and the Queen came by Vancouver. That was before he was healed. And he had ulcers in his stomach, and he had multiple sclerosis, and he just could hardly sit up. But yet with his royal blood, he sat like nothing was wrong with him as he passed down through the streets. And Mr. Baxter said he stood there and wept because there...
Making a Way

...time you hear one, it's a marker that you're going that way. Every time you pass a graveyard, it's a marker you're going that way. Every time a wrinkle appears in the face and a gray hair in the head, it's a marker you're going that way. No wonder then Paul could say, with that real hope rooted and grounded in him, like this time when he got down to the end of the road, he said, "I've fought a good fight, I've finished the course, I've kept the faith: henceforth, there's laid up for me a crown of righteousness, th...

Now, he was going to adopt His own Son into His family. He took Him up on Mt. Transfiguration, a high place before the public. He brought three witnesses of the earth. A three is a confirmation. We know that. He had three witnesses of earth, three witnesses of heaven. And there He clothed Christ, and He over-shadowed Him, and His raiment shined like the sun in the middle of the day: that robe that He placed on Him, showing that He had accepted Him. He was about the Father's business. He did just what the Father sho...
