Introduction

“Here we have the end and consummation of all prophetic Scriptures: the crowning of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is only after the dark night of world judgment and punishment is passed, that the glorious light of Christ’s coronation day will follow. This is one of the sublimest passages in the Scriptures on the Person and work of the Messiah” (Charles L. Feinberg, God Remembers [Portland, OR: Multnomah Press, 1979], p. 80).

Key Truth: The Crowned Priest will build the Lord’s temple, so come and help build it.
