What Will Christ's Reign Be Like?

The Bible makes it clear that Jesus Christ will return to the earth as King and Messiah. But how will He rule? Does Bible prophecy give us descriptions of His reign?

by Vince Szymkoviak

The Bible contains many prophecies of Jesus Christ's return, the time when He will intervene in the affairs of mankind in a way that this world has never before experienced.

For example, Revelation 11:15 tells us that He will return to reign over the entire earth: "Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!'" (emphasis added throughout)

Zechariah 14:4 reveals that when He returns, "in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives," the mountain that looms over Jerusalem on the city's east side. Verse 9 shows that "the Lord shall be King over all the earth" after His return.

So how will He reign at that time? What will His rule be like? Let's focus on one aspect of His coming rule—the compassion, care and concern of the coming Christ.

Help to the poor and needy

In Amos 9:13 we read the promise that He is returning to end famine and hunger. "'Behold, the days are coming,' says the Lord, 'When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it.'"
