Philippians 2:9-11 ESV
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.
After Jesus’ ‘emptying of himself’ and even His death at the cross, He was exalted. Sin, death and hell couldn’t contain Him. He rose from the grave and had sealed His victory permanently. His obedience to the Father’s will had resulted to His exaltation. Indeed, ‘humility comes before honor.’[Prov 18:12]

In His prayer, He has had expressed, “I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.” [John 17:4,5]

Here, the apostle Paul is declaring the divinity of Jesus. When will this declaration that ‘every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Him as Lord’ will happen? Definitely, this will happen at the Second Coming of Christ. During His first advent, Christ came in humiliation. In His second advent, Christ will come with power as the Conquering King.

This will be the fulfilment to what the Lord Jesus had predicted in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 25:31–46) and as the vision of the apostle John. [Rev 20:11–15] And as the prophet Isaiah foretold years earlier, the King of kings and the Lord of lords returns to this earth, then will come true what: “Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall swear allegiance.”

What are you looking forward today? Let us be ‘waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.’[Titus 2:13] He is coming eminently so that everyday is 24-hour closer to His coming. “Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.”[Matt 24:46]
