“And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, ‘Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so move in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.’”(Acts 1:10-11)
The Creator of the universe had come to the earth, lived among men, had a three and one half year ministry of preaching, teaching, healing and restoring life. He had been tried illegally by men and had suffered and died by their wicked hands on a cross outside Jerusalem. He had been buried and had risen from the tomb. He lived among them another forty days proving Himself to be alive by many infallible proofs. And now, while the disciples looked on, He has ascended into heaven.
But, as one man said, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” This same Jesus who today is our High Priest at the right hand of God is coming back. This time He won’t come as a baby in swaddling clothes, but rather as a king in robes of splendor. This time He won’t be judged, but He will be the judge. This time He won’t be riding a donkey. He will be on a white horse. When He comes again, those who rejected Him the first time will hide in dens and rocks of the mountains and cry for the rocks and mountains to fall on them and hide them from the wrath of the Lamb. (Revelation 6:12-17) NO, It isn’t over until it’s over.
