In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious. (Isaih 11 v 10)
King Jesus will gather His people from all ends of the earth. What an incredible picture of the future for God's people. And the future has already begun. Jesus already rules over His church — Christians everywhere. But His reign isn't total yet. One day, Jesus will return to rule over all creation. His people will live with Him in perfection.
