When Will Jesus Be Crowned and by Who?
1) Direct Answer
Jesus will be crowned after the catching away of the saints, at the marriage supper in glory, and He will be crowned by His redeemed Bride. Then He will return with His saints and take the throne of David in the Millennium, where His Kingship is openly manifested before the nations.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- The marriage of the Lamb comes first: “Let us be glad and rejoice… for the marriage of the Lamb is come” (Revelation 19:7-9). That is where the Bride is with Him in heaven. Revelation 7:9-17 shows that redeemed multitude before the throne, and Revelation 20:4 shows the overcomers who reign with Him—this is the Bride company present to honor Him.
- The redeemed have crowns and worship before Him: the elders “cast their crowns before the throne” (Revelation 4:10-11), showing the saints yielding all honor to the One on the throne and to the Lamb (Revelation 5:8-14). That is the Bride’s act of coronation—giving Him the diadem of her love, victory, and authority.
- Then He appears as the crowned King: when He comes back, “on His head were many crowns… KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:11-16). What was recognized in heaven is then displayed to the world.
- He takes the earthly throne: “The Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever” (Luke 1:32-33). “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ” (Revelation 11:15).
- God has already exalted Him: “God also hath highly exalted Him… that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow” (Philippians 2:9-11). The Father has placed all things under Him (1 Corinthians 15:25-28), and the Bride acknowledges and crowns what God has decreed.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Now notice, He is already Lord by divine decree. But at the marriage supper the Bride—redeemed from all ages—crowns Him in worship and surrender. That is heaven’s coronation.
- Then He returns with many crowns to sit on David’s throne in the Millennium. That is earth’s recognition of the same Kingship.
4) Reinforcing Statement
You see, it’s not three Gods. The one God was manifested in Jesus Christ, and soon the Bride will crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords. Be ready for that hour.

He started up, taking the Old Testament saints with Him. As He went up, up, beyond the moon, on beyond the stars, on beyond the sun, the Old Testament saints followed Him. The Bible said, "He led captivity captive, give gifts unto men." I can see Him going beyond angels and Archangels plumb on into the spheres and [unclear word] coming to the sight of the New Jerusalem. I can hear the Old Testament saints, acquainted with David's prophecy said, "Lift up ye everlasting gates, and be ye lifted up and let the King of...

When He was on earth, He was a prophet, the Word. The faithful witness, the Bible calls Him a little later. A faithful witness is the prophet. He was priest. And when... He's priest now, and when He comes He'll be king. If you'll get over and read Revelation 15:3, you can see in Revelation 15:3... Let's turn over here and see if He's going to be king, if He is king when He comes. Now we're going to Revelation, the 15th chapter and the 3rd verse: And they sing a song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the...

Listen how the Scripture reads here: Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. [Get it?] And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. [Praise be to God!] And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true sayings of God. So there's going to be a meeting in th...

If you would like to turn to the Scripture just for about thirty minutes' talk, I would like for you to read with me out of the book of Revelation, the l9th chapter, and I would like to read down to the 7th verse inclusive. And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous is his judgments: for he has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has aveng...

Remember, Satan tried to tempt Him one time on top of a mountain. See? The new city has twelve foundations, as we went through it: the twelve patriarchs, 144 cubits being the breastplate of Aaron, twelve gates of pearl, twelve disciples' names. Jesus stand the headstone on the throne, when his saints has crowned Him the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and He's the headstone.
