赛三二1　 看哪，必有一王凭公义作王，必有首领按公平掌权。

　　耶二三5 耶和华说，日子将到，我要给大卫兴起一个公义的苗；祂必作王掌权，行事精明，在地上施行公理和公义。

　　启十九16 在祂衣服和大腿上，有名字写着：万王之王，万主之主。

　　基督据有地以后，要在国度里作王管理全地，同着祂得胜的信徒治理列国（启二十4、6，二26~27）。祂是要来的王，将成为千年国时神要来之国度里的元首和中心。……基督救赎了地和其上所有的人（西一20）作祂国的范围和组成成分，祂变卖了一切买了国度（太十三44），祂拯救了地同其上所有的人脱离撒但的霸占（启二十2~3），祂将有完全的权利，作得恢复之地和得恢复之列国的王。在祂要来的掌权里，神的权柄和荣耀要完全得显明（太六13），全地连同其上的人也要被带进公义、平安、喜乐以及神创造完满的福分里（赛三二1、16~18，三五1~2、5~7）（新约总论第二册，一五四至一五五页）。

　　Isa. 32:1 Indeed a King will reign according to righteousness, and the rulers will rule according to justice.

　　Jer. 23:5 Indeed, days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will raise up to David a righteous Shoot; and He will reign as King and act prudently and will execute justice and righteousness in the land.

　　Rev.…He has on His garment and on His thigh a 19:16 name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

　　After Christ takes possession of the earth, He will reign over the earth as the King in the kingdom, ruling over the nations with His overcoming believers (Rev. 20:4, 6; 2:26-27). As the coming King He will be the Head and the center in the upcoming kingdom of God in the millennium…As Christ has redeemed the earth and all its peoples (Col. 1:20) to be the sphere and components of His kingdom, as He has sold all to buy the kingdom (Matt. 13:44), and as He has rescued the earth with all its peoples from the usurpation of Satan (Rev. 20:2-3), He will have the full right to be the King of the restored earth and the restored nations. In His upcoming reign God's authority and glory will be fully manifested (Matt. 6:13), and the whole earth with its peoples will be brought into righteousness, peace, joy, and the full blessing of God's creation (Isa. 32:1, 16-18; 35:1-2, 5-7). (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 356)

　　马太十三章四十一节说，“人子要差遣祂的使者，从祂的国里薅集一切绊跌人的事，和行不法的人。”基督回来以后，要在地上建立祂的国。然后在国度里，祂仍是人子。

　　神的仇敌撒但，背叛神的权柄（赛十四13~14）。为着对付他，神创造人，并给人管治权治理地（创一26）。在人被撒但引诱，跟随他以后（三1~6），神成了人，名叫耶稣，来消除

　　魔鬼的作为（约壹三8），并废除魔鬼（来二14），使祂收回这地，成为祂的国（启十一15，十二10）。在基督作人子所要带进这要来的国里（但七13~14，路十九12~15），祂确实是人子，不仅作神得胜和荣耀的标记，也作撒但失败和羞耻的标记（新约总论第二册，一五三至一五四页）。

　　撒迦利亚十四章九节说，“耶和华必作全地的王。”这节圣经……预言基督回来时，要在全地建立祂的国〔参太二五31~34，林前十五25〕。在主回来时，祂要拯救以色列，砸碎外邦列国，并审判地上的万民。然后祂要在地上建立祂的国，就是千年国，为时一千年。这千年国将有三部分：㈠地上的部分，是神创造的福所临到之地……〔创一28~30〕。㈡在迦南地上以色列国的部分，从尼罗河至幼发拉底河，得救的犹太人要在那里治理全地（赛六十10~12，亚十四16~18）。㈢属天、属灵的部分（林前十五50~52），得胜的圣徒要在其中享受国度的赏赐（太五20，七21）。

　　在千年国里，基督将与同祂作王的得胜者辖管列国（启二十4、6，二26~27，十九15下）。这些列国将是旧地上人类邦国末了的阶段，他们要成为主和祂基督的国（十一15），受基督和祂得胜者的管辖。这样的掌权将是基督在千年国里唯一的工作，祂要向全宇宙显示祂带着神圣、属天权柄的王权，为时一千年，以羞辱那被击败的仇敌撒但（真理课程四级卷一，一四九至一五○页）。

　　我们正在等候有一天，基督要来作王辖管全地。祂要在祂的国度里掌权，我们也要与祂一同作王（启示录生命读经，二九页）。

　　参读：新约总论，第三十二篇。

　　Matthew 13:41 says, “The Son of Man will send His angels, and they will collect out of His kingdom all the stumbling blocks and those who practice lawlessness.” After Christ comes back, He will set up the kingdom of God on earth. Then in the kingdom He will still be the Son of Man.

　　God's enemy, Satan, rebelled against God's authority (Isa. 14:13-14). For dealing with him God created man and gave man dominion to rule over the earth (Gen. 1:26). After man was seduced by Satan to follow him (3:1-6), God became a man by the name Jesus to undo the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and destroy him (Heb. 2:14), that He might reclaim the earth to be His kingdom (Rev. 11:15; 12:10). In this upcoming kingdom, which Christ as the Son of Man will bring in (Dan. 7:13-14; Luke 19:12-15), He will surely be the Son of Man, not only as a sign of God's victory and glory but also as a sign of Satan's defeat and shame. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 355-356)

　　Zechariah 14:9 says, “Jehovah will be King over all the earth.” This verse… prophesies that at His coming back Christ will establish His kingdom on the earth [cf. Matt. 25:31-34; 1 Cor. 15:25]. When the Lord comes back, He will save Israel, crush the Gentile nations, and judge the peoples on earth. Afterward, He will establish His kingdom on the earth for a thousand years; this is the millennial kingdom. In the millennium there will be three realms: the first will be the realm of the earth, where God's creation will be blessed (Gen. 1:28-30); the second, the realm of the nation of Israel in Canaan, from the Nile to the Euphrates, where the saved Jews will rule over the earth (Isa. 60:10-12; Zech. 14:16-18); and the third, the heavenly and spiritual realm where the overcoming believers will enjoy the kingdom reward (1 Cor. 15:50-52; Matt. 5:20; 7:21).

　　In the millennium Christ with His overcomers as co-kings will reign over the nations (Rev. 20:4, 6; 2:26-27; 19:15b). These nations will be the last stage of human nations on the old earth, and they all will become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ (11:15), being ruled by Christ and His overcomers. Such a reigning will be the unique work of Christ in the millennium to show to the entire universe His kingship with His divine and heavenly authority for the shame of Satan, the defeated enemy of God. (Truth Lessons—Level Four, vol. 1, p. 126)

　　We are awaiting the day when Christ will come as the King to reign over the earth. Christ will reign in His kingdom, and we will be His co-kings. (Life- study of Revelation, p. 24)
