“He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.” You see, He’s gone back to heaven. He gets the kingdom from the Father, not from you and me. We don’t vote Him in. When He comes next time, we’re told that He’ll dash them in pieces with a rod of iron. Friends, He’s not asking anybody to vote for Him when He comes the next time. They’ll either receive Him or they’ll be destroyed. That’s the way it will be next time. He came the first time as a Savior. Now He said He’s gone away to receive a kingdom. “And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.” And that’s just about what the world is saying to Him today. But that’s not going to keep God from sending Him to the earth.
