How can this be?

“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” Revelation 4:8

This is a familiar verse to most followers of Jesus. Have you ever thought about what it is saying about the Lord Jesus? How can He be who was, is, and is to come?

Well let's see:

Who was:

Genesis 1:26
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

1 Peter 1:19-21
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

Notice the "US"...that is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They have always been and always will be. Jesus was foreordained to be the Savior of the word. He came and was crucified for our sins, thus he was!

Is:

Revelation 1:18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

Praise God Jesus defeated sin and death and is now alive! HE IS!

And this is where Jesus is right now:

Luke 22:69
69 Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.”

Await the words from the father to

to Come:

Matthew 24:29-31
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Matthew 24:44
44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Jesus is coming soon! Are you ready?????

May this give you a greater understanding of Jesus who was, and is, and will come again! Holy is our great God!
