Where is Jesus' Throne?

It is often claimed that the Devil currently rules over this world without having a physical throne and an earthly physical presence. The Devil or the Satan showed that at least he believed that he had power over the kingdoms of the earth when Jesus was tempted in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-10)

However, after the victory over evil on the cross, Jesus says “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:18–20). Jesus from that point on has been reigning over the world.

Jesus’ throne is in heaven: “Thus says the Lord, ‘Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me?’” (Isaiah 66:1; Acts 7:49). Jesus occupies David’s throne in heaven (Acts 2:29–36). When Jesus ascended to heaven, he “sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Jesus is ruling from heaven, thank God. He rules, from heaven, a kingdom on earth which is gradually asserting its authority. It is a kingdom of justice, love and peace and it spreads through evangelism (Matthew 28:18-20 again). Let us pray:

"Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name.

Your Kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as in heaven

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins,

as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom,

the power and the glory are yours.

Now and for ever."

Amen

Blood Moon 2026: What Does the Bible Actually Mean by “The Moon [shall be turned] to Blood”?

The bulk of this article was originally published May 2014. Updated 28 August 2026. Taken by the Author: 28.08.2026 In the early hours of 28 August 2026, another so-called “blood moon” appeared over Britain. It was actually a very deep partial lunar eclipse, with most of the Moon passing into the darkest part of the Earth’s shadow and taking on that extraordinary copper-red colour. And whenever the Moon turns red, Bible prophecy is rarely far behind. There is, after all, a famous passage in the Bible which speaks of precisely this: “The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood.” It sounds dramatic. It is dramatic. But what does it actually mean? Peter says: “This is what was spoken” To answer that, we need to go to Acts chapter 2. At Pentecost, people had gathered in Jerusalem from many different nations. The Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples and they began speaking in other tongues. The crowd was astonished. Some, showing that cheap explanations of relig...

Read the Bible

What God says is more important than the way we feel. What Jesus has to say to us is more important than our current emotional state. Psalm 119:16 says, “I will delight myself in your statutes: I will not forget thy word.” God’s promises are not mottos that we can hang on the wall, they are rather checks we can take to the bank. God’s promises are absolutely sure. He wouldn’t throw away a book full of pre-signed checks, God has pre-signed these checks to us. God’s promises are absolutely certain to gain remittance when we cash them. God’s promises always pay back. We should always be ready to learn more about what God has promised to us, and claim what it says in them. Remind God of what he’s promised to do. “Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.” Proverbs 3:13 Reading the Bible, studying it, listening the sermons, going to church and hearing the preacher and if possible, questioning the teacher afterwards, or in a small group or bible study...

Good New Year to You

Article by George Cross in 1967 In 1967 George Cross predicted that in the 21st Century Ice Hockey games would no longer have boards round them to prevent the puck going out of bounds. Rather, he surmised that the game would be surrounded by a force field. This is rather a prosaic use of the futuristic concept of force-fields. However, lasers are used for life changing surgery on eyes and to improve self esteem in plastic surgery. They are not used that often as the weapon so beloved in Sci Fi stories of old. You never know what the future may hold. One thing that George Cross did not predict was that Ice Hockey would not be around. There were certain things he assumed would remain constant. But with the culture around us changing at a dizzying pace there is little that we can assume will remain constant. This is unsettling. However we can be confident that the Lord Jesus Christ will be here , the same Lord, Saviour and friend. He will be wit...
