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.

There He is. Now, look at Him. The gold crown; does that represent Christ? Yes. When Christ was here on earth, He was crowned with a crown of thorns, to shed the blood. That's right. But every believer that comes through that shed blood, pulls forth that crown of thorns and crowns Him with the glory of praises and honor. Every believer that steps into His presence, accepts that blood from His pressed brow here with thorns, and crowns Him with glory and praises and majesty, as King of kings, as healer, as Alpha, Ome...

Jesus: The name Jesus in the gospels has four titles of "Son." Did you know that? Jesus has four titles as "Son" in the gospels. One of them is "the Son of David"; one of them is "the Son of Abraham"; another, "the Son of man"; another, "the Son of God." Now watch. When our kinsman redeemer become Jesus Christ, He become the Son of David, which is the heir to the throne. Glory! He heired the throne by being a Son of David. God told back there that He would never leave David, never leave David without a seed. And Ch...

Now some day He rises from the Father's throne, and goes to take His own throne. Now He comes forth to call His subjects. How is He going to claim them? He has already got the Book of Redemption in His hand. Glory! Oh, I feel like singing a hymn: %#Soon the Lamb will take His Bride %#To be ever at his side, %#All the host of heaven will assembled be (to watch that); %#Oh, 'twill be a glorious sight, %#All the Saints in spotless white; %#And with Jesus we shall feast eternally. Oh, my. Talk about sitting now in heav...

So just then he said ... an elder came forth ... or, a strong angel. Said, "Weep not, for the Lion of the tribe of Judah [Amen!], the root of David, he hath prevailed! [Amen! Conquered, in other words.] He's worthy to take the book!" Amen. Remember, he hadn't seen Him up to this time. Why? He was seated on a throne in there---God's throne. He was on the inside of the sanctuary. He hadn't seen Him to this time, so John was expecting to see a lion come forth, but he saw a lamb!

Man dropped plumb down to here. The blood of sheep and goats held him this far, as potentially, until the fullness of time came. Then God came down Himself. Not an angel, not a cherubim, but God came from Heaven, and went all the way to hell to bring man up from hell to Heaven with Him. He come hunting the lost sheep. He found him, and put him on His shoulder, and climbing the ladder today with him, going towards glory. "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me." Who was He? We'll get that next...
