The kingdom of God's grace is now being established, as day by day hearts that have been full of sin and rebellion yield to the sovereignty of His love. But the full establishment of the kingdom of His glory will not take place until the second coming of Christ to this world. "The kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven," is to be given to "the people of the saints of the Most High." Daniel 7:27. They shall inherit the kingdom prepared for them "from the foundation of the world." Matthew 25:34. And Christ will take to Himself His great power and will reign.

Oprettelsen af Guds rige foregår nu, idet hjerter, som har været fulde af synd og oprørskhed, dag efter dag giver efter for hans kærligheds magt; men den fulde oprettelse af hans herlighedsrige vil ikke finde sted for ved Kristi andet komme til verden. »Riget og herredømmet og storheden, som tilhørte alle rigerne under himmelen,« skal »gives til den Højestes helliges folk". De skal arve det rige, som har været beredt for dem »fra verdens grundvold blev lagt.« (Dan. 7,27; Matt. 25,34). Da vil Kristus overtage sin store magt og herske som konge.
