The Second Advent,
The Triumphant Messiah
The Lion of Judah Ministries proclaims that the same Yeshua HaMashiach who came first as the Suffering Messiah will return in glory as Messiah ben David — the exalted King, the Lion of Judah and the triumphant ruler of the Messianic Kingdom.
The Return of King Jesus
The Suffering Messiah returns as the Triumphant King.
LOJM teaches that Jesus Christ came in His First Advent as Messiah ben Yosef, the Suffering Servant who gave Himself in sacrifice. In His Second Advent He returns as Messiah ben David, the exalted Messiah-King.
There are not two Messiahs. There is ONE Messiah who comes twice: first in humility and suffering, then in power and glory.
We wait in patience and hope for the Return of King Jesus — the Eternal King of Glory and the Lion of Judah.
The undisputed Glorious King of Israel
In LOJM’s Messianic teaching, Christ’s Second Advent fulfils the royal dimension of Messiah ben David. He returns with dominion, glory and a kingdom that will not pass away.
Coming in Power and Glory
Jesus declared that the Son of Man would come in the clouds of heaven. His return is presented not as another humble advent, but as the revelation of the exalted King.
King over the Nations
Daniel’s vision of the Son of Man receiving dominion, glory and an everlasting kingdom is central to LOJM’s understanding of the triumphant Messiah.
The Messianic Throne
The ministry teaches that Messiah ben David will establish His Millennial Reign from Jerusalem and that His kingship will extend over the earth.
The Lamb who was slain is revealed as the conquering Lion.
LOJM’s teaching moves deliberately from the suffering of the First Advent to the triumph of the Second. The One who offered Himself as the Lamb of God is revealed in royal judgment and victory as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
His return marks the overthrow of Satanic opposition and the public establishment of the authority granted to Him by God the Father.
Judgment, victory and the defeat of Satan.
LOJM teaches that Christ returns as the victorious Warrior-King, defeats Satan and the armies gathered in rebellion, and brings the present age toward its divinely appointed culmination.
King Jesus reigns from Jerusalem for 1000 years.
LOJM teaches that after His victorious return, Messiah ben David will reign for 1000 years from Jerusalem in the Millennial Reign.
This is the royal culmination of the Messianic hope: the Promised Seed, the Suffering Messiah, the Risen Lord and the Returning King are one and the same Jesus Christ.
A kingdom extending from sea to sea
Drawing on Zechariah and the Psalms, the ministry presents Jerusalem as the centre from which the Messiah’s reign extends to the nations, with the kingship of Christ acknowledged throughout the earth.
We wait for the Return of our King.
The Second Advent is not treated by LOJM as a peripheral doctrine. It is the blessed hope of the ministry: the promised return of King Jesus, the Eternal King of Glory, to complete the redemption story and bring His kingdom to its appointed fulfilment.
Promise
The Messiah promised throughout Scripture will return just as surely as He came in His First Advent.
Hope
Believers wait with patience, faith and expectancy for the appearing of the Returning King.
Kingdom
The triumph of Messiah ben David leads ultimately to the everlasting reign of Christ.
King Jesus, the Promised and Returning Messiah
He came first as the Suffering Messiah. He will return as the Triumphant Messiah. ONE Messiah. TWO Advents. The Lion of Judah shall reign.
