    THE THRONE OF GLORY

    When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory. Matthew 25:31.TTKGG 1.3

    The kingdom of grace is God’s plan to save men by grace. It was established as early as mercy and grace were offered to fallen man. Adam, Abel, Noah, Abraham, and Moses were as truly the subjects of the kingdom of grace as the apostles and martyrs of Jesus were, or as the followers of Christ now are.TTKGG 1.4

    The kingdom of glory is future. In connection with its establishment will be the second coming of Christ in power and great glory, to raise the righteous dead, and to change the living righteous. These, all immortal, will be the eternal subjects of the kingdom of glory. In Paul’s most solemn charge to Timothy, he associates the coming of Christ and the last Judgment with the immortal kingdom. “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom: Preach the word.” 2 Timothy 4:1, 2. This kingdom will be God’s arrangement to glorify and reward the immortal righteous, who are saved from every nation, tongue, and people, during the ages of human probation.TTKGG 1.5

    The kingdom of grace and the kingdom of glory are closely related to each other. The former was established to prepare subjects for the latter. They span the time of all the ages from the fall, when the plan of redemption was instituted, embracing the eternal future. Two conditions of the people of God are expressed by the phrase, kingdom of Heaven, so frequently used in the New Testament. Sometimes it expresses their present condition, in this world, and sometimes their future condition in the world to come.TTKGG 2.1
